Last Saturday i did a lecture on ferns at the Bellevue Demonstration Garden. What a cool place! I was cautious as it was a newly created lecture and quite a distance to drive, especially for a day off. It was one of the best demonstration gardens I have ever been to! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, even their garden dog, a shibu-enu (They look like a small fox). I am not sure why i didn't take his photo. I met the strawberry lady, who's sole duty is to take care of the strawberry patch in the demonstration garden. They even had a very nice fern garden!
Back to the presentation...Using a projector and laptop is always a challenge. Power point presentations are a blessing and a curse. You can see what i am leading up to, right, ...a disaster! My Mac was not acknowledged by the projector (should have tried at home), but I was busy at the apple store last night getting help from a mac-genius, who by the way was pretty cute and now i think that only mac computer geeks can actually be cute. Well cutie-pie-mac-guy ended up getting me for 140 dollars for my charging issues. So, 140 dollars later i thought i was all set to go. Ao, after all that, i had to do my presentation on my little 14" screen. What a patient group. Be sure that i am going to figure out the compatibility issue. I get so frustrated at Mac Haters! It is really not fair! I use both PC at work and mac at home. So, i go both ways! Can't they, too!

We've had crazy projector cord connection issues in the past and we own several versions of plugs so we are always ready :) Once you get the right plug, just keep it in a safe place and never forget it or you may have to buy two (not that that has ever happened to us or anything)
Oh dear oh dear - I hate it when machines don't do what they are supposed to. PLUS - ouch, that $140 bucks...I felt that pain for sure.
Great photos of the demo garden; I should look up the strawberry lady to see if she can figure out why my strawberry yields are so low.
