Bought new tablet

As you know, the keyboard on my tablet did not work, either because the connection was broken, the tablet did not recognize it. I blogged a few times using the virtual keyboard, a lesson in frustration. The other day, the tablet fell, damaging the charging port. It was impossible to charge it. So last night, I bought a new tablet, the same one that I had before. I am so happy to have a keyboard again. So difficult to use a touchscreen properly. I much prefer the accuracy of a cursor. My friend was transferred from the hospital to a rehab center. I visited her on Monday. Something is going on with her processing. For instance I asked her for a phone # and she spelled her name. Hopefully she will make a complete recovery. She has been lying in bed for a month, so cannot sit up. She is eating pureed foods and has to be fed. I miss our nightly chats. We had planned to go out for lunch last Wednesday. My little granddaughter, 4 weeks old, has a cold. My daughter and her husband have been married one week as of yeserday. The large mandevilla plant in the front of the house has two pink blooms. The cyclamen in the back is in continual bloom with red flowers. Waiting for the Easter lily in the garden to open. I walked the dogs in the rain yesterday. The grass, flowers and trees sighed in relief from the hot dry weather. It was a gentle rain, soaking the parched earth. My dad's 91st birthday is Monday. We are planning a cookout to celebrate.
