A Happy Thanksgiving to All (and I shall return!)

My favorite blue heron sitting near the bridge patiently awaiting his dinner.
Unfortunately this shall be short and sweet. I have 17 minutes left on my laptop battery! I spent an hour or so with a Dell rep regarding Ashton's laptop crisis. Her adapter cord wouldn't work any longer so she has been borrowing a computer. I have the same laptop as she does and so while chatting with the Dell rep I took my adapter and plugged it into her computer and we discussed the situation, blah, blah,blah. When the rep assured me that a Service Tech would come out and look at her laptop I thought I was done. When I plugged my laptop back in and finished up our chat, my laptop gave me the same error message that Ashton's had! What the heck?? So obviously something happened to my cord from being in Ashton's laptop. So the Dell tech said they would "Expedite" me another cord! So with just a few minutes left on the battery I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and I will return as soon as I can! Take care!

I hope both you and Ashton get 'expedited' cords before Thanksgiving. Won't that be something to be thankful for? In all seriousness I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
