Oops!

In my last blog post about cell phones, I probably should have talked a bit more about my lack of interaction with them.

Back when my daughter and then-son-in-law moved to Muncie, IN, I bought Meg a Tracfone for Christmas. It was almost an afterthought...and it was cheap. That phone turned into a great tool to coordinate their move with everyone involved. (Patting myself on the back.) I, however, didn't have a cell phone. I'm an amateur radio operator! Why do I need a cell phone??? Well...I just did...and I think Meg provided me with my first cell phone--a clone of the one I had given her.

It wasn't too long thereafter that Megan upgraded to a better Tracfone...and then yet another variety. I inherited her cast-off. That was several years ago. I still don't know how to work it properly...and unlike most of the modern generation, I never have it on unless I am mobile on a trip or away and expecting a call. I don't have a clue how to send a text message!

Megan doesn't even have a house phone. That concerns me some. A time or two, we have left one of the grandchildren alone at the house without thinking that there is no way for them to contact anyone in an emergency. Of course, cell phones require energy management. They don't do anyone any good if the battery is dead. That's why I still have a "land line" at my house!

On another topic, I am totally grateful for the wonderfully warm and sunny days we have had this week. What a difference they have made in my attitude and energy levels! I actually did some housework today and took care of a couple of business items! Of course, there is so much more to do... I love hearing the birds in the morning, and even though we have lost daylight in the mornings due to the DST time change, life just feels better than it did. Go figure!

March is rapidly progressing. Slow down, springtime...slow down!
