Christ first. It was very peaceful for me this year. I think because I didn't have to do a thing except show up on the right day. My friend Sandy planned and organized the whole thing. Christmas eve we drove to Sun City and collected a friend who had recently moved from his home to an assisted living apartment. He choose the Elephant Bar as his favorite dining place in the area and it was a good choice. The food was great and the company stimulating. We then went to the Church of Joy drive through lighting display where they claimed to have 59 million lights. I believed it. There were themes and it went on for several blocks. It was all for various charities around the valley so one could feel good about supporting them. There were many cars funneled into one lane but Roger drove us safely through without a scratch to anyone's car.
The next Morning we all went to the movies and saw "Complications. Meryl Strep was very charming of course and Alex Baldwin did a good job . The story line was a little too much like "Somethings Gotta Give" to call it a really good movie but I found it quite entertaining and relaxing. We then went to Sandy and Roger's house to feast on her famous Italian dishes and way to many deserts. I felt really stuffed and indulged.
Robert bought me one of those nice warm snuggies to use in the computer room where I am often cold. It is cozy indeed.
Next I tackled a look through at the new Kindle. Robert whipped through the basics with me but patience is not his long suit. He can't seem to allow for the fact that my eyesight is dim, making everything more difficult (That's why I got a Kindle for heaven sakes.) Also my brain does not work as fast and efficiently as it used to,@#!&^^( Swear words and whining here) Probably I will find it much more user friendly than one would think at first glance. Amazon claims it to be their best seller of any product this year. Any way I hope everyone felt as peaceful and relaxed as I did this year.

I hope that you are able to solve the problems of using kindle and I confess I dont exactly know what this does to cause you to see what you are looking at better. Sounds like a superior magnifying system, Is that right?
ReplyDeletePretty much. It does many things though. It will interface with your computer, do internet, e-mail, and connect with many wireless devices such as I-pods, phones etc. i will probably not use half of it's features but the fact that I can read without eye strain will be great. Right now I am just learning all it's capabilities. Since I have many great Xmas books I want to read I"ll just have to do some of each. Exactly when do you have your cataract surgery?? I gather they haven't hampered your reading ability. Oh yes, the kindle can download music or you can have someone read the book out loud to you. I haven't particurally liked audio books but the time could comee when I will be grateful for them.
