another visit to the lake...

greetings!

sorry i have been m.i.a. for a few days! it's been a crazy couple of days around here!

not to mention my dell inspiron laptop is having some serious issues! it keeps shorting out on my and won't boot up properly...so annoying! after some 15+ times turning it on/off it eventually kicks in. so annoying! i have only had this laptop for 2 years! seriously, all the $$$$ i spent on this --- i tell ya, i may NEVER buy a dell again! you know back in the early 90's i had one of the original macbooks - not "original" but back in the day, ha! ha! back when they retailed around $2,800.00...GULP! the laptop is long gone, but i still have the receipt some where ---why? not sure? ha! ha!

i am debating if i should buy another laptop or take it to someone and get it fixed? i am always concerned about someone getting personal information off my computer. oh, what to do?!!?!?

oh well, enough "computer talk" i wanted to share with you some photos i took last weekend. we made it up to lake geneva, wisconsin after all! we weren't going to go b/c of all the flooding in chicago, but got around it --- no problem!

yes, we were just there two weekends ago [previous blog post] and we are going up again this weekend! such a fun little town to visit....and shop!!
instead of mentioned the stores i previously blogged about, i am going to share a few other places worth noting! first off, brick & mortar home.
