December 27- Playing with My Phone

Holidays are often family times and when families get together, often out comes the camera. These days the camera is usually incorporated in the cell phone. While I have learned to text and phone with this device, I am only just learning the art of taking pictures.  This Christmas was a good time to practice. In fact, I took my first selfie.

I held the phone at arm’s length and pointed the phone towards my head. Of course, those of you who read my last post will know the question I asked Lyle, “ How do I look?”

By this time, Lyle was a bit tired of my amateur photo taking attempts, and looking up a little distractedly, replied, “Stunned!“ When he saw my crestfallen face, he immediately revised this to, “ I mean, stunning!“ Such a difference between those two words – stunned or stunning. When I tried to look at the picture later under my CCTV Reader, I think that the first opinion might have been more accurate. Yes, I will post the picture here so that you can form your own opinion.

We had a very good Christmas with family and my hope is that each of you had the same. I am also posting a picture of Lyle and I with our little granddaughter, Lexi. It has been a great year watching her grow. She is a delight.

Soon it will be New Year’s and the time for some of us to make resolutions for 2017. Mine will be the same as last year. I want to upgrade my technical skills so that I can be more in line with the times. Playing with my phone was fun, but I know that there is far more that I can accomplish with my computer if I really put my mind to it.

Following are the two promised pictures – my selfie and the one of Lyle, Lexi and myself.
