The Smart Phone???

Aaargh!! My patience is tested by God everyday! Just when I pat myself on the back and tell myself how patient I have become after 50+ years...something new always comes along that God brings to the table! God gave me the desire to learn, and I should be thankful, because it keeps me on my toes.

Like it or not, my son introduced the smart phone to me. It was justified because our family would be on a cheaper phone plan. Why do they call it "smart phone"?  It just makes me feel stupid and slow - ha ha! It's hard enough to answer a phone call...it has taken me several tries!!! So if my friends have a hard time getting a hold of me lately, they now know why!

Surprise on the morning walk...

I'm not a "techie"...my family can attest to that!  Our daughter is the family photographer...she usually has a camera ready. However, I am grateful that because of our kids I usually get motivated, somewhat later than most into the "real world"...i.e., the internet, cell phones, to texting, to smart phones, etc... To their credit, I learned and got inspired to blog from them!

The same goes with cameras...I fumble and grumble with the little thing. I took Photoshop, but probably will take it again as I am learning to take more photos... Anyway, back to topic... So I was taking Blair on our usual morning walk...this time on a nice walking trail nearby...

Somebody's Trash is Another's Treasure....

This being Labor Day weekend, my hubby Mr. J and I had a fun "date" day.  He got to sleep in after working hard all day...so at 8 AM I got out with my black lab "Blairsy" on our usual morning walk before the day gets too hot.

There have been a lot of garage sales lately...so just around the corner, a neighbor had a wonderful sale in her front yard... This is my unexpected treasure trove of goodies I bought...
