This is the cell phone I have carried since getting one. I am not a phone person, truly. I did love this little keypad to text on, I could use my thumb nails and text very fast. Now this wee phone has been dubbed "Antiquated" . So it's no longer in service.
So Ted got me this new phone. Way more phone, than I'll ever use or need. I love the camera feature it has, great photos.
You can see the difference in size. I will be getting a case for it and a protective screen cover. I hope I can learn to transfer my photos from it to my blog files.
Then after the phone store...we went to Menard's. I picked up some geraniums to get started on my containers. I love the old fashioned red ones best. I will get some bigger plants from Horton's store in town.
Having lunch with my oldest daughter today. Her son will be coming home for lunch , so I will get to talk with Jake. He has a new job and is very excited about it.
Please send good thoughts and or prayers to those in floods here in the U.S. and overseas. Crazy weather. Wishing you a great weekend, XO.
I have a tiny flip phone. A friend wanted to get me a smart phone and I told her I don't need one. All I need a phone to do is make and receive calls. I don't understand people who live on their phones. Hope you learn how to use the new one quickly.
ReplyDeleteKathy, This phone is smarter than it needs to be for me.LOL. I can't believe the people who can't just go even an hour without phones. I only have a phone because of safety when hauling my grandkids. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGeraniums are one of my favorites. I love the pink ones.
ReplyDeleteLaurie, I saw some salmon colored geraniums that were so pretty...but I just had to go with the red...they are what I went after. LOL..you know when we have a decorating idea how we are. Blessings for a fun weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThe phones we got, though not able to text, can take pics. And I have not learned how to do this yet!!! -moan-cry-sigh- I am so not techy!!! lol!
ReplyDeleteEveryone but me, puts their cell phone photos, on their IG. Easy, I guess. Nope! Not me!
I take pic with my little camera... download it to my big computer... mail it "to myself"... then go to my mail box, on my Galaxy... down load my pics, from my mail box on Galaxy... to IG... and post them.
Can you imagine?????? -grin-
Guess that has to make me a very, very dedicated IG'er! ,-))))
But also, a "stone age" member of the new techy world!!!!
Tessa
Tessa, You sound just like me...I have to go the long way around to do things on my computer even..this phone is way to smart. I got a phone to have when hauling the grands , for safety. You can imagine my shock when the salesman said my phone was antiquated and I have had just two years. I will have to have my daughters help me. LOL. Or some kindergartener. Have a fun weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI copy below, the comment I just put, on my post of today.
ReplyDeleteSusie... YOU did NOT offend!!!!!!!
I tried to say that. Doesn't it show?
If not, I say it again! YOU DID NOT OFFEND!!!!!!!!!!
Tessa
Great Tessa, cause I like you and enjoy visiting your blog. I did read that it was ok in your post but I just wanted you to know from me. xoxo, Susie
DeleteI like red geraniums too. The flooding is scary, we have friends in the military and I saw where soldiers in Texas were lost in the flood.
ReplyDeleteJanet, The loss of the solders makes me angry...how many people in authority tell us citizens to turn around, don't drown ? I can't stop thinking of that scary weather. So much rain. I saw on the news where Europe is flooding also. I hope your friends are well. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, how fun that you got a new phone, and especially one that you can take pictures with. :) Love those red geraniums. Have a sweet lunch with your daughter today. I'm having lunch with my son. We sure are lucky, Susie.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend.
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, I talked about you to my daughter today. I told her you were young and loved your girls and that you were having lunch today with your son. Yes, we are lucky(blessed)...but we have the sense to know it and appreciate our time with our children. Blessings, love you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie,
ReplyDeleteI have a smart phone and love it. I think you will too. I am not phone savvy and was able to learn this one too. Have a great week end.
Kris
Hi Kris, I will just have to read the little book and try to figure all the little symbols out.I am that old dog who needs to learn new tricks. LOL> Blessings, hope you are getting settled in there. xoxo, Susie
DeleteI've had an iPhone for several years. I love being able to take pics with it, text, and check my emails. I look at it way too often and that is the downside of the smartphone. I love those geraniums.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, My sister does everything on her phone..but the sad part, it seems she can't put it down. LOL. I want to learn all the things I can use this phone for,it'll be a relic by the time I learn. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove my Iphone! I love the camera, but I still use my real camera, download and go that route! You will be so happy with your new phone, Susie!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend,
Nancy
Nancy, I love my camera and take it just about all the time. But this phone will be nice when I forget. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI just had to get a new phone as well..My Motorola Razor is also antiquated.not enough "G"s..I never use it..Now I have a small LG flip phone which was free...I have to get a cable so I can transfer my pictures just in case..Have a sweet weekend..
ReplyDeleteMissy, I might have to think of a cable...I wonder. I know once I learn a few things about this phone I will like it...but oh I seem to hate learning new tech stuff. Blessings to you for a great weekend. xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie! You are going to love your new phone! Where oh where did you get your green thumb!! I so admire all of your gorgeous flowers!!
ReplyDeleteBetsy, I wish I had a green thumb..but I dream green. I try. I just bought a garden flag with geraniums on it and thought, I need to pot some for the porch. I will do a post on it all when I am done. Blessings , xoxo, Susie
DeleteI'm thinking about running to Hortons sometime soon. I saw where they have clothes now, and I love that brand. Fun and different.
ReplyDeleteThe geraniums are pretty and Menards is about ten minutes from our house!
You will love your phone when you get used to it. I didn't know a thing about mine when I first got it, and now I don't even use a real camera and I just plug my phone into my laptop and it starts downloading on it's own. Easy Peasy girl.
Cindy Bee
Cindy, This is what I am hoping will happen once I get the hang of this new phone. I loved the pictures it takes...so clear. I am going to get the bigger geraniums from Horton's. I just went to Menards since we were in Kokomo. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie, I don't know what brand of new cell you got, but I can tell you I love the new phones-especially being able to access the internet to blog etc. You'll learn to use it quickly and be glad you updated.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Noreen
Noreen, This phone will do it all. I hope I can get the hang of it soon. Blessings for a fun weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou now have the world at your fingertips! ;-) You will enjoy it. I upgrade every 2 years...it is like a new puzzle that I have to figure out every time! LOL Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Benita. I see people playing with their phones all the time...maybe they are just trying to figure it all out. :):) I surely hope I can. Thanks for stopping by. Blessings for a fun filled weekend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteEnjoy using your new phone and enjoy planting out your lovely red geraniums.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend
All the best Jan
Hi Jan, I want to buy a few more flowers and trap a few more rabbits...have to haul them down to the big wood on the corner..I hope it isn't the same bunny every time.LOL> Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThey had to drag me kicking and screaming to a smart phone and now I love it. Why do I always fight new tech stuff?
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, Susie! We're hoping to explore a little beach town down the road from us and eat at a new dockside lunch place.
Dewena, When the young man said my phone was antiquated, I wanted to say, "So am I." LOL All week, we had beautiful weather..today (sat) threats of heavy rain and storms. I love that you are finding wonderful new things to do there. Just sounds like a long vacation. :) Blessings to you and your family, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie, I just want a phone to basically talk on. I don't have to have a fancy one. I do text a little but very little. I have enjoyed catching up with you tonight. It seems like the time just flies. Take care. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri friend Shirley
ReplyDeleteShirley, For ten years now, my life has wings...time flies by. Hope you are doing well. Enjoying the family and getting to see your hubby . I know at times it may seem you are chasing your own tail, and can be over whelming..Just pray sweet lady. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteMy phones have all gotten progressively bigger and bigger! I like them big for the pictures. I spend far too much time on my phone.. I often wonder how we survived with out them!? lol!
ReplyDeletehave fun with your flowers.
and.. those poor people dealing with all the flooding.. my heart goes out to them all. I can not and dont want to imagine what they are going through. lots of prayers needed for them.
have a nice weekend!
xoxo
vivian
Viv, A friend of mine's phone looks like an ipad. Her granddaughter told her it could be used as a weapon , if need be. LOL I need to paint some containers before I pot those geraniums....I am behind...you know what I mean. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI switched from an android phone to an iPhone in February. The one thing that is a little more complicated is putting photos on my blog. It took a little creativity, but I've gotten it to work. If I'd known it was going to be more complex I might have thought more about it, but I really am liking my iPhone. I took a couple of classes at the Apple store to understand the phone better. Hope you come to like your phone as much as I have come to enjoy mine.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, So sorry it's taken so long to reply. I think I am going to love this new phone for the pictures alone. My daughter sent me a pic of a snake on the old phone..it looked like a worm to me..I could not see it well enough to tell it was a snake.LOL. Yes, I am going to ask about a session on help using this. Thank you. Blessings, xoxo, Susie 'p.s. wish I were roaming the streets of NYC with you.
DeleteCongrats to Jake on his new job! I love the red geraniums. That is one of my sister's favorites, too.
ReplyDeleteMildred, I was half scared to mention Jake's job. He's been there two week now and told his mom he would love to work there for 30m years. It's an awesome amount of pay with 401 k's. He's not even finished with his schooling. But he a did year of financial advising, maybe that helped. :):) I am praying it all works out for him. He's a great young man. He just did a golf fund raiser , to raise money for hi H.S. coach who is ill. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
