The Coolest Museums in Each State

Traveling for me means stopping at all museums I can...big and small.  I really love the community museums that have preserved Grandma's attic.  They have many unusual things , some of which can't be identified or are misidentified.  The list at the site below has a stupendous museum listed for each state.  Just don't forget the small ones.

My two favorites in the western US are 

Wyoming - Buffalo Bill Center of the West  in Cody, Wyoming  (Hint:  Plan to spend lots of time even days.)

Boasting five museums for the price of one, Cody’s Buffalo Bill Center is sure to satisfy your thirst for the Old West. From learning about Western legends like Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley in the Buffalo Bill Museum to the extraordinary pieces of art in the Whitney Western Art Museum, the museum's depth and attention to detail demonstrate the true essence of Yellowstone country.

I'm often ask about fixing a computer or to diagnose a problem over the phone which is usually impossible.  I found this article that I would refer everyone to as a first attempt to fix a problem.  Many times it is all you need.

Why does rebooting your computer almost always fix it?
 Kim Komando

People and computers can be very similar; in some senses. After a long day of going to the gym, working, running errands and taking care of your family, energy runs low and completing certain tasks become more difficult.

At the end of the day, sometimes the best thing to do is to shut down and rest. Think about it, computers are the same way. When a computer is in use, applications are starting and shutting down all the time. After a while it can really overload your computer's memory.

That's why giving your computer a rest by rebooting it can help fix system problems you are experiencing. Let's talk about why this simple solution really works.Why restarting your computer works...most the time. Click here to read the rest of the article.

Memory Keeping



Scrapbooking is very popular with travelers because it allows creativity while creating a memory book, either digital or paper.  However it is not practical to travel with reams of pretty papers.  I've decided to start a scrapbooking page where I will place links for ideas, digital papers and digital scrapbook ideas.  Check out its beginnings by clicking on the page in the bar above.  Find out where these lovely free papers came from.

Nature Crafts
