What's hot?

What’s hot?

                The weather is, that’s for sure. Forecasters in Georgia call for over 100° for the next three days and in the 90s for the  upcoming week. Friends in Minnesota are only looking at the upper 80s and 90s. It’s all too hot, and the electricity grids are likely to be overtaxed. When it gets that hot, it’s just hot, and it’s not going to be a dry heat.

                Hopefully, the new Word phone now sitting next to me on the desk is "hot". With all the bells and whistles, this new Smart phone is as hot as I can handle. With it comes a new number. If you want that number, message me through email or Facebook and I will gladly give it to you. The phone's display of the phone is supposedly a preview of Windows 8. A little experience can only help with the transition when the new operating system comes out. The keyboard's key arrangement make typing a little easier because the keys are slightly offset like a regular keyboard. Facebook and email are possible, if I can ever figure out which password goes with which account.

                Last night was a hot date with my granddaughter, Katie.  She is really attached to her mom, so making the decision about where we go for supper was almost more than she could handle. However, one Olive Garden and their breadsticks became the choice it was onward and upward. Katie, the whiz, actually got my old phone running so I can at least get the contacts from it. She’ll be my little navigation helper as I learn the phone. She watches and listens and gets it. No matter how smart and intuitive she is, she’s still nine and the end of our evening was spent with me giving her strange and silly directions for her starting pose as she went backwards into the pool. Coming up with 75 different poses represented the most difficult brain work of the day. The silliness and laughter will continue to bring a piece of joy with each remembrance.
