Experiencing Technical Difficulties

I apologize for not making a post before now. If you follow Eclectic Otter on Facebook you will have seen a little bit about the issues I've had this past month but here is a longer explanation. Our old camera had died and we were getting ready for vacation so we purchased a new one. I took some pictures for my post at the beginning of the month but had problems getting them to download. In fact, neither my husband nor I have been able to download pictures directly to the laptop still. I was able to get them on to our desktop in the other room because it has a direct SD card slot. After wasting several days trying to figure out that out and the post already being late, I gave up for the moment because we left for vacation that Saturday and I had other issues to worry about. For instance, we ended up taking loaner car on vacation because my husband's cruise control was broken and they were waiting on the part when we left.

I had also intended to have book reviews typed and ready to go before we left so that I could schedule it to post while we were gone but that didn't work out. I thought about doing a quick post after we got home but we got in on Saturday afternoon and that evening had a storm that knocked out our power. We didn't get power back until about 3 pm on Tuesday. Then Wednesday night another storm hit that caused flash flooding and we had to dry out all our carpet.

Things should (fingers crossed) be getting back to normal now and I can get back on track. I have lots of photos to share from my all Wonder Woman vacation wardrobe, to photos from the trip, and even pictures of the kitten we adopted when we got back because.... Oh yeah, we ended up adopting a kitten while our power was out just in case things were getting too quiet. So stay tuned and I'll try to catch up.
