big girl pants, camping, creatures, deer, geese, internet, skunk, thunderstorm

after supper last night at the campsite, all the boys and dogs went for a walk to the beach to catch frogs…

it was dark and nearly eleven when a skunk came to visit we three women as we sat around the campfire…

one ran into the tent, another climbed on top of the picnic table… I sat in my chair as the skunk came and sniffed my toes before moseying along to the next site…

was going to take a picture but decided not to in case it got nervous and sprayed, lol…

at 1 am it started to rain… at about 2:30 the thunder and lightning show started… shortly after that lightning blew the electricity at the site with a huge bang… for two hours the light flashed, thunder rolled and rain poured down… can’t even think of a time when I was in the midst of such a storm… made for a long night…

this morning we saw geese at the beach when we went for our cell phone connection fix…

  
had a lovely breakfast cooked on the fire…

  
bacon, pancakes and eggs was wonderful… soon after that the heavens opened again and it poured…

we gave up, packed, and headed home… saw a mommy deer and her twins as we left the campground…

  
now we are back in the city, camping out at my daughter’s new house which is pretty much an empty construction zone, lol…

and have two dogs laying here keeping us company…

  
gonna make s’mores soon…

apps, big girl pants, internet, Technology, tv

had a wonderful discussion with a couple of people as we shared ways that technology can help us…

talked about apps that make it possible to use your phone to do things more easily… and apps that help you streamline your email… energizing…

then, when I got home, I discovered that the tv in the bedroom had no signal… ignored it for a while hoping it would get its signal back… had a nap, tried it again… still nothing…

checked the main floor tv and it worked perfectly… went to the basement and turned the router off and on and came back upstairs… and the tv worked…

then I tried to send an email from my phone… and it wouldn’t connect…

shut down and restarted the computer… still nothing…

called MTS and went through the whole process again…

got a great workout running up and down the stairs, lol…

finally everything is working…

cell phone, email, encyclopedia, internet, Technology

been thinking about technology quite a bit lately…

when it works it makes everything go well… when it doesn’t it makes life so frustrating…

the changes over the last few years have been amazing…

can you even remember when you didn’t have a smartphone… or a laptop and/or tablet…

we purchased our first cell phone when our older daughter was sixteen as she was taking a road trip with a bunch of her friends… we wanted her to be connected if she needed help or had trouble with the van… that phone was large and cumbersome and didn’t work everywhere on the main highway…

and here I am, writing my blog on my iPhone and texting with my daughter at the same time…

earlier my other daughter was sending me pictures from Montreal where they are visiting for a few days…

while we were in a shoe store, in Fargo, North Dakota, the clerk went online and ordered shoes that they didn’t have in the store, and had them delivered to us at the border…

fifteen years ago email was just becoming a new tool… cannot imagine being without it now… and, on the phone, as well as the desktop and laptop and maybe even the tablet…

all of my kids watch movies on the computer…

people complete forms on their home computer and submit them online, or use an iPad when they arrive at the office… I remember trying to decipher handwriting and guessing what a name or phone number was supposed to be…

the internet has changed our lives… not sure if young people know what an encyclopedia is, lol…

I need to remember all the great things that technology helps us with, particularly when some of it might not be working at its best…
