Adieu

                It has been too long since I have written a blog.  Life has been a little hectic, and of course it was all self induced; not on purpose though.  I’m just a tad accident prone, and saying a tad is being modest.  The newest adventure was an unwanted one, but being the klutz that I am, I manage to delete all of my photos that I had taken this year while I was trying to move them to my external hard drive.  Of course I had to clear some things off of my external hard drive before I could move them over, so I deleted away.  Once my recycling bin was full, I emptied it, confident I didn’t have to double check through it.  Well, turns out I probably should have, because all the pictures I wanted to move over were now gone.  I downloaded an application that promised to retrieve recently deleted files, but sadly it only recovered the ones I wanted to delete purposefully.  There were only a few folders from this past year I truly cared about, and most of them were trips that JM and I have taken, but I have to bid them adieu.  Lesson learned:  ALWAYS double check.
