New Phones

We got a text from Verizon that it’s time to upgrade our phones. Well, I’ll go for that because my phone battery is about shot and I have to put it in the charger every day. I use my phone to talk on and that’s it. My phone doesn’t even have a camera on it. I’m so old school!!!

Dawn on the other hand is always taking pictures, sending text and doing all kinds of other things with her phone. She is so up with the text lingo that when someone sends me a text she has to translate it for me! I know it’s SAD.

Anyway we were having dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant when we received the text about upgrading our phones. After dinner we stopped by the Verizon store. We were lucky enough to have a really nice patient young man show us all the phones and explain the differences. After explaining to him that I’m somewhat old school when it comes to using a cell phone, he showed us the Droid Incredible.

It is an interesting phone. He showed us the features and told me to play with it for a few minutes. I think that even I could learn this phone. Dawn said she liked it too.

It is buy one get one free! I like that even better. O.K, so now I am spending all my free time trying to learn how to use this Droid phone. It’s really easy to use and the sound is very clear.

The user Guide is two-hundred and six pages. The Guide doesn’t come with the phone. You have to download it from the internet.

Look Out World, I’m going high tech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feeling Better

We are starting to feel some what better. Neither of us have any energy. We take turns getting the four legged kids fed and preparing something for us to eat.


We're so fortunate to have some wonderful friends that have made homemade chicken noodle soup and delivered it to our back door. Our elderly neighbors were good enough to make us a large pot of stew and made a grocery store run for us.

The four legged kids have really enjoyed their mom's laying around. They are sticking to us like glue. Then on top of everything else, it snowed here all day yesterday. We have a good four inches on the ground. that is very unusual for north Texas. During the night we also were blessed with freezing drizzle. We spent the morning watching all the news about the snow ans the road conditions. were out on the roadways reporting all the traffic accidents and getting video of cars slipping and sliding around on the frozen roads.

We are grateful we aren't traveling in that mess.Travel Safe Dawn and Denise

We're Going to Make It!

Thanks for all your concerning comments.

After suffering almost a full week of fever, constant sinus drainage and uncontrollable coughing we decided we better see a doctor. We were convinced we were dying of the flu, since neither of us have gone for our flu shot.

The doctor says we're NOT going to die, we have a terrible case of the bacteria stuff that is going around. She gave us some antibiotics and cough meds and told us to go home and rest.  Rest! We have worn huge holes in the sofa and the recliner from all the resting we've been doing!

Maybe now we'll be able to get a full night sleep. It has been a very long week.

We should be back on our feet real soon.

We're Out of Commission

We haven't posted because we are both sick. Not sure if we have the flu or something eles.
This is the first time we have both been sick at the same time in a very long time. I spend my day laying on the sofa and Dawn is in her recliner.

Terrible burning chest cough, bones hurt, runny nose.

 I'm sure we will live!
