thread drift-edging into the present technologically speaking

so my daughter came down to spend the weekend with and brought me her old smart phone as she had switched her account from ours over to her new husbands and gotten a new smart phone in the process. Mind you this is me who on a good day can manage to turn on her basic cell phone to make or take a call. The good news is that so far using it seems pretty intuitive but all I have set up is a contact phone list clock a calendar and a weather report. I will acquaint myself thoroughly before I go further.
slowly but surely, with the ease and pace of a snail avoiding danger I am edging towards being a functional digital woman.

In the meantime I gave my a tumbler/ composter for his birthday and we have it set up out on the porch. Rowena, she of the one brain cell and the memory of a goldfish startles and barks hysterically at it each time she goes outside to do her business and refused to eat because that thing was there.

Its a sad day when you can feel good about yourself because at least you can remember more than your corgie.

1. Congrats on the smart phone. Alas, mine is still dumb. I don't even text.

2. Corgi? I love those dogs!

I had a very good and patient tutor in my daughter who basically set up the four basics I requested and showed me how to use them. I will become fluent in those first. It actually seems a bit more instinctive than the cell phone.

If it makes you feel better, my family and I only just got smart phones...
