Breckenridge

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.
