Out Ioway

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of Heaven and earth,
He will not let your foot slip-
He who watches over you will not slumber.
-Psalms 121:2,3

Sunlit land



This picture was made possible by the following people:

-husband Loren, who bought a nice camera through crafty bidding on Ebay

-son Jason, who patiently showed his maman how to download pictures from said camera to the network and even put them in folders...even how to CREATE folders

-Thainamu, who explained the simple process to Ma of what had previously been the totally inexplicable impossibility of importing a picture onto Picasa, which Ma uses to edit her photos and send them back to a network folder

-"the other Nancy," who married into the extensive Hoyt clan, lived to tell about it and passed on the FxFoto link to Ma--when NO COMPUTER TECHNOS answered Ma's plea for border control, i.e. a simple html code to put borders on a picture--so that Ma could actually put a border of some kind on her pictures.

-Ma, who (besides taking the picture) was able to download and install FxFoto without any help, and who through much trial and error, figured out how to import a photo from the network (at least twice, so far...) after which she had to send it back to the network with its new border

-Blogger, who imports pictures from our network complete with the newly attached border

SO, the above picture went through the following steps:
-taken with camera
-downloaded to network over personal computer
-uploaded back to personal computer and Picasa for editing purposes (much easier to crop)
-exported back to network folder, renamed
-imported to FxFoto
-sent back to network folder, renamed :-(
-uploaded into Blogger and posted.

And it's just---that---simple.
