Masquerading today

A couple of women in my Daughters of Utah Pioneers group asked me for some computer technical help today because someone I know who knows a lot about computers said I was an expert. HA HA HA HA HA! LOL! As my son Daniel says, You know just enough to be dangerous. He got me started in computers and has been my teacher-mentor every since. At any rate, I told my friend that I was not a computer expert but I'd take a look and see what I could do. She has Microsoft WORD and a PC computer. I have WORD and a mac computer! 

Well on the way over there, I said quite a few prayers and after about an hour of working on her computer mostly looking at help screens and being creative, I solved her WORD problem. She was so happy, and I was so happy AND relieved. So then I went over to another friend's house and helped her for two hours to install WORD on her mac and hook up her printer. Then of course she needed some lessons on how to use it! 

Guess it's payback time for all the free instruction I've received over the years from others. An exhausting day but exhilarating. Try doing something you don't know how to do sometime, it will make you stretch. And as my blogging friend Leona says...ASAP Always Say A Prayer (for help.)
