In Houston

We are in Houston for the second weekend in a row. I’m not sure how my health is going to take it, but I just had to come this weekend to see my brother and two of his kids.

They are only here for a few days, so there was not enough time for them to come up and see me. In addition, my older sister who they are staying with, invited a lot of other relatives over to have a get together on Saturday so we had a great party. It was so great to be able to see them all.

Towards the end of the day, most of us who would brave the heat, ended up around the pool in the back yard and some of the kids (sorry JJ, you are still a kid no matter how old you get or how many degrees you get) ended up in the pool. Here is a great photo of some of the kids as they were jumping into the pool.

JUMP!

JUMP!

Doesn’t that water look so inviting? I just don’t know how I stayed out of it. But, I was concerned for sun burn and this old skin just would not have recovered as well as it used to from sunburn.

MOVING ON

The store still is having problems. A couple of weeks ago, it was down and I found out they (the hosts) were moving it to a new server. The old server had reached critical and had to get some relief. Since our account was one of the larger ones on the server, we were one of the lucky ones to be moved. Then, about a week or so ago we were hacked. Someone broke into the code and entered some stuff about viagra for our entertainment. It took a while, but I got that fixed, installed a security patch and changed passwords all around, changed the database connection and more. Then, this weekend, there was another issue. I was just sure we were under attack again as the server was showing critical volume. But, it was not  – the security certificate that I had purchased from the store was not getting along very well with the new server. It took a while to get that straightened out but it eventually was fixed. It was not fun trying to figure all that out while on the laptop WITHOUT all my passwords AND on the cell phone instead of a regular phone. AND of course, I was supposed to be spending time with family not worrying about the store.

Now, I wonder what will happen next with the store?

Moving ON

So the mojo is coming back and soon I will be having new items in the store. It is about time. I have one kit in the works for all you out there that have fishing photos to scrap. I might even be able to get some CU stuff made to go with it. I love the photos I found to extract for this kit . If I was on my desktop at home, I would pull a completed one up for you all to see. Soon though.
