“What is going on, Lucy?”
“Well, little one, it seems the Boss’ MAC went down.”
“So, what does that mean?”
“He has a limited way to post photos. So we will have to be content with just a few.”
“But I wanted to show the new plants and the nice potting area.
“I’m afraid it will have to wait. We can only do so much with a Boss who is so Apple-centric.”
“You would think he would maybe remember his days behind a PC at his age.”
“Old dogs forget old tricks, Little One.”
“How about this tomato plant. We can show that, right?”
“I would be quick about it. You see, the Boss normally has a way to reduce the pixels on photos.”
“What can that have to do with a tomato?”
“He is off his game in pixel reduction so it takes more memory hence fewer photos.”
So the pixel problem comes to roost on us?”
“Yup. But hey, it’s not so bad. We can still have fun.”
“That no one will know about.”
“But we have each other and that is what really counts.”
“You are right Lucy. Also, you are it for tag.”

Sorry about your computer woes. Sorrier for the girls not getting as many photo ops as they (or I guess Twiggy) would prefer. At least they have each other, not that their game of tag will help with your tech issues. I hope it’s an easy and inexpensive fix.

If you are taking pictures with an iPhone (assuming your all MAC all the time), you can email them to yourself and downsize them as you send them. In case this problem continues (which I hope it doesn’t). Don’t be skimping on the Lucy/Twiggy show.
