On Saturday I woke up with several missions to be accomplished. I was unsure how I would get them all done in a speedy way, but somehow, luck was with me, and I got everything done, and then came back to the house and finished the items I had on my at-home to-do list as well!
After breakfast, which was pretty late because Jack slept in, I quickly showered and headed out. The first stop was the Post Office where I collected an Amazon.com Box! This contained a new Cell Phone Case for my old Galaxy S5, which I am setting up for Jack. I had ordered a nice sedate navy blue Otter Box because I felt that dayglow pink probably wasn’t suitable for him.
Then from there, I was off to the Verizon Store in Laconia. Try as I might, I could not get that darn SIM Card to activate and after a few hours last night I cried “Uncle” and gave up. The nice young man (I swear I could be this young man’s grandmother!) helped me out and got the phone number switched from Jack’s old flip phone to the Galaxy S5. Mission accomplished!
Then I was off to The Greek Festival at the Greek Church in Laconia. I go every year, and this year was no different. In some years, I have worked alongside my friends at the festival, but no one asked, and…I told them next year to let me know because I would love to volunteer again.
While there I bought our favorite sweets, but just a few, as Jack is Diabetic and I do not need the extra calories! Then I got in the lunch line. For Jack, I got the Lamb Shanks dinner, complete with rice with gravy, a fresh roll, and a Greek Salad. I had the Leg of Lamb dinner with the same sides. I brought them all home to have later on for our lunch. Yum!
Once settled in after lunch, I got to work, downloading programs, and setting up Apps on Jack’s new Cell Phone. I was lucky that the technician at Verizon figured out how to move Jack’s much-loved ring tone (When The Saints Go Marching In) onto the new phone from the flip phone. No small feat!
I have also set it up so that when we go away (do we even do that anymore?) he can keep track of his email. I also downloaded three games, set up the Speed Dial App, complete with pictures, to make calling people easier. The next big thing is to sit down with him and actually teach him about the phone. I have a brand new stylist pen that has his name on it, so he can learn all about touch screens. I don’t know about you, but I love stylists!
The sky has gotten dark, and the wind has picked up, and the Weather Channel has just issued a thunderstorm warning. I can hear the rain hitting the air conditioner in back of my chair. The end of another day. Seems they’ve all been closing with this rain. Ah well, at least Jack got most of the lawn mowed today before the rain started!
Indeed it was a very busy day. However you did it, you got the phone working, organised and tailored. I wonder if The Saints is the most popular ringtone for men over 50.
I just stopped by & read about the hawk flying into the window…we’ve had that happen too, all the time until an expert told us to put decals on the glass panes. It works like a charm!
To have a red shouldered hawk to call your own – even for a short time would be awesome.
As for this post, I’m surprised with having bread [roll] for a diabetic.
Busy day! A lot accomplished
