Saga Of A New Toy

 August 21, 2020

Good morning.  Tis sunny today, and temps should get up into the upper eighties.  At the moment though, it is quite lovely outside.  When I'm finished posting here, Pogo and I will sit out on the porch for a while.

Well, I checked with the Verizon store late yesterday afternoon (around 4:30) and they said that my phone had not come in yet.  Okay, so I'll get it Saturday.  No problem.  However, around six p.m. last evening, the store called me and said that they had my phone and would bring it by right away.  And they  did.

We sat out on my porch (masks on - three feet apart...it's a small porch) and the young man from the store hooked my two phones together and started the transfer of files process.  Most of it had completed when he had to return to work.  Today I will go through all my stuff on the old phone to make sure everything has transferred.  That's a job and a half.  There's a ton of photos on my phone.  

So far, I'm noticing that there are so many differences between these two phones.  It took me more than two hours to figure out how to put an icon for my blog on my new phone.  I don't have enough hair on my head that I can afford to pull any of it out.  So, before I go cuckoo nutso, I went on Amazon and ordered me a user manual,  "Samsung Galaxy S10 For Dummies."

My new book should be here before the day is over.  So you can guess what I'll be doing tonight.  Yup, learning how to use my new phone.  For $11.99, I can hang on to whatever sanity I have left.  It's truly a bargain.  

In my younger days, I could handle new technology much easier.  In fact, I looked forward to learning about it.  These days, change is not a nice word, so I rely a lot on the "Dummies" and "Visual Learning" books.  

One thing I'm looking forward to on this new phone is using the camera.  It's much different and is supposed to take even better photos than my old phone (which also takes great photos). Well, that's my phone saga.  Thanks for letting me babble.

Today, let me share a cute Maxine cartoon.  This tough old bird says it like it is.  I like her.

Now I'm off to do a bit of blog reading.  So, till Sunday, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous weekend.

Hugs, Edna B.
