More traveling & trouble

My computer has crashed and I have lost everything. I thought I was doing the 'right thing' by backing up to an external storage unit every 14 days. Well, the storage unit was empty. I have lost all my photos, my emails, my past journals, financial data, sentimental stuff, etc. My sister said I live in a minimalist way here; now I'm more minimalist than ever. All the problems were caused by a virus I brought home from the university computers on my flash drive. I usually scan it immediately, but this last time I worked for twenty minutes before I scanned it.

I am rebuilding Windows, Office, Skype, Quicken, etc. I have taken new pictures, so you will get an update about Shanghai and then Xi'an where we saw the terracotta warriors. Incredible! I'll be back soon.

I retired. I’m almost 80 now and have some old age problems. I do small amounts of traveling still. Last summer I went to Hawaii with my sons and grandchildren. I still love to go camping although I do not have an RV anymore. I moved from Atlanta to Washington DC to be near family. I have been here seven years now. I will try to keep this blog up-to-date. During the Covid pandemic I sat around too much and got fat and sassy so I’m now on a fasting diet. Maybe you’d want to know how that goes too. I will stay in touch.

Is there any way you can recover what you have put into the travel blog? There were a lot of pictures and tales. Maybe Joe or Mike could print out every blog for you ... that way you can have part of what you lost.

Sorry
Sorry to hear of your computer trouble. Will be anxiously looking forward to your next message. Not much new here. Mom is sleeping more. Just her new lower dentures and she lost them. Have a sitter coming this after- noon so Frank and I are going to try to use our gift cards from Christmas. It is in the 40's here today. Sunny . Had a lot of rain over the last 2 weeks. But things are looking up. How long will your sister be with you? Bye for now. Love, Madge

I'm so sorry!!!! Well, just be patient and start over again...but remember, everyone you sent pictures to since you've been there still has them...at least I do. Would there be a way to re-send them back to you??? Peggy

Susie, can you upload the photos you put on your blog before? What a shame to lose them, let alone all the other stuff. Love, Gailey

Sorry about the computer crash. Good luck in rebuilding stuff, and I look forward to your stories about Shanghai and Xian. Was it great or what!
