Is rearranging PDF pages one of the things you can do in ‘Preview’ on the Mac? I know it has certain PDF capabilities but I haven’t explored it. But I do that, and more, all the time in the iPad music reader forScore.

That having been said, I did NOT notice the error in the Harvey scrapbook, so I must get back on that.

It's my understanding that one has to have a specific app/program that can edit PDFs.  Only ever having had Windows computers, I know nothing of the capabilities of Macs.

Just tried it. Success!

Preview, the built-in image reader in macOS, does indeed do this. Just display the sidebar with page thumbnails, and move 'em around. I think there are other PDF capabilities as well, I just haven't explored them.

It was a helluva morning.  After kitty cleanup, I went to the basement and washed some clothes. The primary reason to do the laundry was the bathroom rug that Annabelle had thrown up on. I put the laundry in the two dryers and came upstairs to make the bed and call Access-a-Ride. I also replied to the bothersome email I received this morning.

Forty-five minutes later, I returned to the basement to find that one dryer was not blowing hot air; Ihad wasted $2.00 and 45 minutes of my life, So, I put the damp rug and a few other wet items into the good dryer and sat for 45 minutes while the things dried ands I screamed several choice four-letter words for about thirty minutes.

Two days after the last time I posted, we drove to Michigan to help my niece (from Florida) help her parents (my sister and her husband) prepare to move to a senior citizens apartment.  On the way we stopped in Findlay, OH, for a fun lunch with niece Rev. Amy and her family.

It sounds like a nice trip, only with more of what you have been doing already with your home ;)

At my sister’s there was lots of talk, lots of laughter, some tears, and a great deal of sorting and distributing of stuff.  The day before we were to leave there was some reconsideration which eventually resulted in their deciding to stay in their home and hire some help.

 :o

Vibes they find good reliable help.

We left there on July 4 and drove as far as Lima, OH, where we stayed overnight so that Fr. Richard could conduct the Wednesday funeral of a former parishioner.  By the time we got home that evening we were both exhausted.

It was nice he could be there to conduct the service.

When everything was dry, I brought the laundry up, watched my soap, took a needed bath, dressed, fed the cats their dinner, and Charlotte arrived. We had a loverly vist, and I showed her all of Jeremy's illustrations for Annabelle & Thatch, which she loved. Our visit lasted a little more than 90 minutes. When she left, I ordered dinner from MacDonalds - it was too late to cook anything - and then I washed the cats' dishes, gave them clean water, gave them a treat, and my dinner arrived. I'm ready to close shop for the evening. I think I may watch Tick Tick . . . Boom.

I am sure that you and DH Keith are glad to be a the end of this particular journey, DR Jane.

We sure are.

The treatments continue to work and kill the cancer cells.  We return in six weeks to confirm it worked.

Iris, where is it you want to make your escape?

Jane, I’m considering a retirement community in a wooded area, an hour train ride to Manhattan. It’s a fairly large community on 1000 acres.
The town is Somers, NY, which looks like it’s not too far from where DR Chas lives.

It sounds lovely, also colder in the winter ;)

If my daughter and her husband had not settled in Brooklyn, I would have probably moved to a beach community in California.

There is no reason for me to stay in Baltimore now that my family members have passed away.

Right, closer to your daughter makes more sense.  Have you looked at Brooklyn?  A wooded retirement community does sound nice.

Jane, there are some exceptionally lovely areas in Maryland if you’re considering moving here.

Chevy Chase, Potomac, Bethesda and Columbia are all very nice.

I have lived in Silver Spring, which I liked. Baltimore is just not the right place for me.

Our son worked in Chevy Chase for awhile.  I participated in a four year study at the NIH and liked Bethesda, and the surrounding areas.  I toy with the idea of moving there but doubt we ever will.

I'm up again - I think I got three more hours of sleep. And a modern major miracle.

Congratulations.

We also toy with the idea of moving to Las Vegas as we have family there, and friends, plus it is closer to LA.  It is also terribly hot in the summer and there is a constant drought.

Lots of friends in Phoenix and the surrounding areas.  Once again, there is the issue of water and summer-lol.  Unlike DR Laura I am not getting up at four in the morning to walk.

Figures, Elizabeth Holmes has already had a two year reduction on her prison sentence.  That sure was fast  >:(

Wrote about four pages and will do more after I eat. I'm gonna try for ten, which should launch me into the next section.
