Dear Friends,

Cold, hot, cold, hot, rain, sun – that about wraps up the weather report. Grace and I went over to our friend, Deborah’s house the other day and her garden was beautiful and also about a month further along than ours. It is one of the perils of having a higher elevation and weird micro-climate. The apples, strawberries and blueberries seem to be doing well.

All of the new products Apple announced have started to arrive and the response has been very positive thus far from those of you that have been pioneers. I think that the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro is going to be a huge hit. I know a lot of people can see the iPad replacing their Mac but I am not in that crowd yet. At least not until Hadley gets our database running on an iPad 🙂

Jezebel, my bulldog, is an avid TV watcher. She loves the Cubs but mostly watches for dogs or for the sound of dogs. When she sees a dog on the TV she leaps out of what seems to be a mellow nap on the couch to run over to the TV and bark. She does the same thing every time Anthony Rizzo hits a homer, too!

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes exclusive features the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. This is the newly discontinued model at a bit of a discount. It features the 2.9 GHz i5 Dual Core Intel processor, 8GB of RAM and a big 512GB SSD drive. It is silver and I only have 4 of these left. This week, while supplies last, I am bundling this unit with AppleCare+ for only $2049.99!
