Bring Back the Freebies

Windows 10 -- blows.  Why do they take away all the good things we learned first in Win-XP then moved on to Win-7 Pro.  Tonight I wanted to make a DVD slide show of photos.  In Win-7 there was the Windows DVD Maker.  Windows 10 has none of these fun apps/features.  I tried Windows Movie Maker - which would be great if I were sharing these with computer savvy folks - but I'm trying to make a simple DVD of the photos I take to send to my 78 year old mother.   Sheesh.

So now it's off to find a program that will do this for me simply.  I think I'm going to try to find something by Nero.  I used them ages ago with Win-XP and miss that program immensely.  I got used to Windows DVD Maker by default, given that it was free.

*SMH*  I know that Progress equals Change for some people,
but do you really have to change every little thing???

It's no wonder that I don't use my computer to do what I used to do not so many years ago.  It wasn't uncommon for me to spend 4-6 hours a day using my computer as a tool for some quality of life.  But now?  There are many days I don't even turn the thing on.  That's pretty sad.  Altho, I think the little "computer" I carry in my pocket -- I call it a phone -- costs more than the entire desktop unit I'm currently using.   lol

Technology.  Progress.  Change.
Not all it's cracked up to be.

Water Slide!

This is my Dad --- circa 1970s!

He's riding the waterslide in Manteca, a new campground with  a small lake and fun amenities for the kids.

We spent many many weekends enjoying ourselves here, camping out in style with our pop up tent trailer.

It wasn't far to drive, we'd head up after work on a Friday, get all set up and have a late evening watersliding session.  After it got dark, the campground would play movies on an outdoor movie screen and us kids would park ourselves on a blanket on the ground to watch old Disney films.  There was a game room as well, where you could put coins in the jukebox, play a little pool or pinball.  (or... if you were brave, to flirt with the boys!!  No, wait .... I think that was my sister... yeah, I'm sure it was!! )

Many fun weekends were spent here,
and we never seemed to grow tired of it.
We didn't know we were making good memories,
we just thought we were having fun!

Thanks, Dad!
