quite the day… got this shot of the wasps building a nest on my deck…

  
was able to get really close as they weren’t moving much… cool this morning after yesterday’s heat and humidity…

walked to the grocery store to get hamburger for tonight’s dinner with the kids and as I was walking up the street to the house reached for my phone to take a picture of the haze and couldn’t find it…

kind of freaked out thinking I might have dropped it in the store… rushed into the house and tried phoning it before jumping into the car and racing back to the store… and there it was, singing in my bag, just not in its usual place… hiding under my OneTouch Mini…

took a few minutes to calm down, lol… I am rather meticulous about putting things away in the same place in whatever bag I have so this doesn’t happen often… thank goodness…

my daughter and I went out to get some fresh veggies and stopped and picked up some groceries for their family…

when we were home a bit later I mentioned how my phone was running out of charge much more quickly these days…

she had a look at it and then checked to see when my contract was up… at 4:45 she discovered that it was already  up and at 5:00 we were at the phone store in the mall:-)…

got an iPhone 6… didn’t take too long and it is saving me $5 or so a month…

because I don’t use iCloud to back my phone up, they weren’t able to set it up for me…

had to check out all the phone stores to get a case… eventually got two…

  
this one and a clear one which I will put one of my photos in…

came home and my daughter started backing it up… but it took longer than they were here for, so she told me what to do when it finished…

  
took some great pictures with it but, in the very long and convoluted process to get it set up, had to delete them all… 

but the sun was really red as it was going down tonight, lol…

well, it is almost set up, sigh… I am on hold with MTS because I can’t remember that password… looks like everything else is good to go…

who knew it would take minutes to buy and then hours to set up, lol…

technology at its finest…
