busy day as I researched and decided on which version of iPhone X I would upgrade to…

walked up and down Polo Park a few times as I checked out the various options…

one of the things I was most interested in was the quality of the camera, as I take many photos…

also, size of the phone was important… I didn’t want something too large for my hand and that would feel uncomfortable…

and then there was the issue of the case… I have the most wonderful case now, but it isn’t available for an iPhone X…

I want something that doesn’t cover the front of the phone as I do take so many photos…

in the end I chose the iPhone X and purchased it from The Source… picked up a Huawei tablet and a Kate Spade cover…

I also found a case that holds a few credit cards… not sure yet which case I will use most, lol…

then I came home and figured out how to move my data from the old to the new…

even got the tablet working with all the apps I use… it will be fun to learn the android system…

looking forward to playing with these new toys;-)…

got some fun toys over the last week…

first this cool leef gadget… it sticks into the phone and copies whatever is on it, then plugs into the laptop and copies the contents onto the computer… it also acts as storage for my phone…

very quick and easy… think that it is going to be much simpler than connecting a cord to the computer and trying to find the phone before being able to copy over photos and other data… such fun;-)…

also got a much larger hard drive so my computer will stop telling me it is out of room… possibly it thinks I take too many pictures…

and last, but not least, a chromecast… 

just learned about this a few days ago… it streams media from the phone or laptop… I can now watch Netflix from the bedroom, using my phone… very cool…

picked up everything now so that my son-in-law could get it all working before he heads home from holidays…

testing it all to be sure I can work it without any problems when I’m on my own, lol…

camping, day 10…

omg… about that noise the night before last… not nearly as bad as it seemed…

last night a group of young women in the campsite across from us were drinking when we arrived to set up… they continued throughout the night and at 4 am my daughter went over and asked them to turn off the music and quiet down… made me very nervous because these days you have no idea of what people might do in any circumstance…

they did settle down… but it certainly affected our night… did get to see the amazing Milky Way again, though…

took down our tent and went to the beach with the boat… met up with family and played with their toys…

jet ski…

four person tube…


at one point the sky got a bit serious with thunder and lightning…
pretty rough looking sky… didn’t stop the rides though…

there was a period of waiting and then we were able to get back on the water and have a bit more fun…

finally headed down the channel and took a few pictures of some cattails…

also caught this seagull having a nap…

tonight we have a large group around our fire… will have to be careful we don’t make too much noise…

we were lucky enough to get a spot for tonight as well, so we are enjoying this last night…

had popcorn made on the campfire… good, but delicious once it had salt and butter on it, lol…

camping, day 8…

another day in paradise…

about 12:30 am my grandson came and woke me… we went out and looked at the stars… saw the space station going over and the Milky Way…

took a while to get to sleep after that because I was so pumped… tonight we have removed a portion of the tent cover so I will be able to watch them from the comfort of my bed;-)…


we slept in after that and didn’t get up until 8:45, when the groundskeepers decided to start mowing the grass in the campground…

saw the ducks at the beach and my grandson took a few pictures… so I got one of him…


I had cereal for breakfast but everyone else had s’more cakes, ie. pancakes with Reece’s spread and roasted marshmallows… very popular…


and then the loon started calling… close to us… and there it was in the water just off our site…


so pleased with the pictures… this was the very first one…


on the water again in the boat, and today I had fun on the tube with the oldest grandson and then all on my own… going very slowly, lol…

friends joined us and the kids had a blast with all the water toys…



great fun for everyone…

tonight after a supper of perogies, onion, bacon, cauliflower and pea pods got this lovely shot of the sun as it was setting…


every evening the sunsets have been beautiful… the weather has been excellent which certainly helps make the time enjoyable…
