I really enjoy technology and am always on the lookout for new ways to do things…

for a few years I’ve been adding smart technology to the house piece by piece and that has been a fun and learning experience…

I often check out new apps for my phone and currently have done research into using video conferencing and computer programs…

a few days ago, I discovered, completely by accident, that if I swipe left on my lock screen it takes me to my camera… very funny…

on my lock screen there is a small camera icon, which I have clicked on from the beginning…

reminded me of the line “you don’t know what you don’t know”… when I worked I would spend time with each person on staff as they worked at their computer… I would often learn some tip or trick that they used and assumed everyone else already knew, but didn’t…

wonder what I will discover next;-)…

as I learn more and more about my new camera I am very pleased with it….

the one disappointing thing is that the battery runs down rather quickly… all of a sudden it will announce that the battery is exhausted… and not always at an opportune time, lol…

I’ve tried taking out the card and uploading it to my iPhone in case the transferring is using it up…

not sure that is the issue…

have also been struggling with the downloading… at first it worked perfectly and then all of a sudden it wouldn’t connect…

hoping to get to the camera store over the break to get a lesson…

today I got my new car…

Shadow was traded in and I got a 2018 model tonight… this time I bought the car rather than lease it… I am most excited about the heated steering wheel although when my grandson takes it over, down the road, he will likely appreciate the various safety features… the car will keep you inside the lines on the road and match the speed of the car ahead of you on the highway… pretty cool…

was a bit of a process to get the tires into the car to take with me, lol… happily my neighbour was out and about and was able to come over and help me get them loaded…

I haven’t decided on a name for this new vehicle just yet…

took everything out of the various storage places and even remembered to remove the garage door opener, lol…

took a final picture of Shadow as she sat outside the doors of the dealership… it was very cold as I walked to and from the insurance company… wasn’t thinking I’d be outside for so long… eventually got the keys and met the new vehicle in my life… they even put a big bow on her…

she’s a beauty… now I just have to learn all the new stuff…
