On leaving town, I called to let Youngest Daughter know we were on our way. Saw some pelicans in a very full pond. Thought it would make a fun photo, and remembered I had left the camera. D-oh!
Other items forgotten:
camelbacks
water bottles
extra pillows
Oh well. Let's just go with the flow, shall we?
We had very adequate accommodations. Found the present offspring, and the others showed up shortly.
In the desire to make some plans for the following day, we thought we would check the information on the internet. Our place didn't not offer that service free. To get the service at all was a bit iffy and we opted out. As a matter of fact, before we left on Thursday, our router needed to be cycled, so Wonderful Guy and I didn't even check our email before we left town.
I was off line completely for a few days. Certainly I survived, and well, but it was not entirely planned. I might have made plans to have other resources at hand if I had known.
Then it happened. I didn't carry my purse one day when we went walking. My phone was tucked in my pants pocket...and when visiting the ladies room, out it flipped (after flushing, during adjustment of clothing). I grabbed it immediately, and dried it.
It is in a bag of rice, which I have read (on the internet, and I believe everything I read on the internet...when I have access...) may dry it out...
I have had a cell phone since 1999, or there abouts. This is the first one I have killed.
It was not a good weekend for me and technology, but it gave me a post, and the Offspring have new fodder for teasing the Mother Unit.
(What I see, What I've been taught, what I've learned, what amazes me...)

Welcome...
...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.

I know someone who used rice and it worked for their BlackBerry. Good luck! And, I'm glad you had a good time.
I hope you have success with the rice - (did you use "Success Rice"- ar ar ar!)
You are correct in assuming the offspring will use their adjusted memories to tease you mercilessly. It is what they do! Love, WS
I happened to put my cell phone in my shirt pocket one day (something I had never done before) and bent over to get the cat dish so I could get them some fresh water (something I don't usually do 'cause I figure that's Den or Levi's job) and "Plop!", my phone slid right out of my pocket into the cat water perfectly! How is it that those things happen? If I had put that phone in my pocket and said "I think I'll try to get this phone to fall in the cat water when I bend over", it never would have happened. Cell phones and the troubles that come along with them-- another thing we all must transend.
