We had a little excitement here yesterday afternoon, so I didn't get much blogging done at all. The FedEx guy dropped off new cell phones for everyone in the house. Now all the family using Verizon Wireless can talk together without getting hit for minute usage. I heard that Elda & Tim got new phones over Thanksgiving, Dean ordered these the day after and Alice & Troy got theirs on Monday. If we all got the same phones, when we are together we better keep them close so they don't get all mixed up. That would be a real mess.
Since I've not had a cell in several years it is going to take some getting use to - the features and how it all works, but then it will be old hat stuff. The best part now is that I can at least call Sean when he is out and it won't cost us any additional, and it leaves the home line open for those other "emergencies" that arise from time to time.
Since most of the extended family uses Verizon - we all get to talk to one another without tapping into our plan minutes. Fun, fun! We all three got Bluetooth headsets as well (freebies with the phones). That will make it easier to deal with trying to talk on the phone and shop or do whatever. It has been especially nice this morning when I was talking to Alice. No more neck crickes from holding the phone on your shoulder.
The girls have been having a great time this morning - they have been playing hard. Lilly has a real issue with food being in the bowl. She likes to "splash" some out on the floor and then eat the little nuggets. Carla on the other hand eats very daintily - no messes from her.
Mom is going to pick up Sean and I before noon today so that we can go out to lunch with Aunt Jo at the Olive Garden in the West End. We had a excellent time! Sean was such a gentleman, he even held the doors open for Aunt Jo. The food was terrific - Sean got a pizza most of which came back home for him to eat for dinner. Mom & I had soup, salad & breadsticks. The Supa Tuscana was excellent as usual.
I borrowed a book on The Melungeons, by Bonnie Ball, from Aunt Jo to augment my reading and genealogy discussions with David Baker over the Thanksgiving weekend. I do hope that it does shed some new light on to these mysterious people.
Sean & Dylan are out building on a tree fort in the neighborhood - thank goodness for the phone, at least I can keep up with him now. Dean should be heading home before too long and I'll need to make sure that he has his dinner well before I head out to choir practice this evening. We are coming down to the wire now and every practice is going to count.
Paul was pleased with the clock that I bought for his music stand while I was on my trip. It was a sort of peace offering for missing practice and a help for him since he's always asking what time it is during practice.
