The Good: I got a new (to me) phone! It's a refurbished iPhone just like Lynn's so she offered to help me with it. We met for lunch and she finished setting it up. She knows tricks for keeping it cleaner, faster, and more secure.I'm glad to have a reliable cell phone. My old Xperia was regularly overheating and had a couple of problems that I didn't know how to solve. My laptop and tablet are Apple products but this is the first time I spent cash to get one of their phones. (I am generally thrifty.)
The Random: This is a mural in the Visitors Center in downtown Front Royal. The artist is said to be Patricia Windrow. (She also painted other murals, including an outdoor one of zoo animals.)

Linda - it is so helpful to have someone who can help with new technology. Anytime I get stuck I call on my kids! Lovely collage, but bittersweet - summer coming to an end! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!

So nice to have a friend to help out with technology. Luckily my husband was the one that set up my phone and transferred all the stuff from my old phone.
ReplyDeleteLovely mural and great views of the river and the people enjoying the last days of Summer.
Thanks for participating Linda.
...my Apple laptop gave me trouble this past weekend.
ReplyDeletePretty views of the river, and very nice mural!
ReplyDeleteHurrah for Lynn - the younger ones understand all that stuff! I am hopeless at it.
There is an interesting phenomenon of us older folks needing to learn from youngsters about technology...but I wonder who teaches them... Now I'm singing Shenandoah in my head. Beautiful river.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will enjoy your new (to you) iPhone as much as we enjoy ours. They take some pretty good photos as well.
ReplyDeleteThe mural is absolutely beautiful. Glad your friend could help set-up your phone, I'm sure that could be aggravating. Nice views of the river, it's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to get a new phone but it takes a while to figure it out. That's why it's always nice to have someone who can help us get over that initial learning curve. I like that mural. I've been quite taken with the ones saw on my trip. I'll have to check out the ones in Front Royal one of these days. The Shenandoah is always a beautiful sight.
ReplyDeleteA peaceful river indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe Shenandoah does look very peaceful at Front Royal, great photograph.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I just got an apple phone for the first time a few months ago. I still have aa lot to learn about it.
