New Kindle!

My birthday will happen while we are on our trip, so I hit Joe up a bit early for a new Kindle.  It arrived yesterday, and I have already loaded it with my previous books, plus a dozen new ones.  Now I can carry 70+ books with me everywhere I go.

Before receiving the new Kindle for my birthday, I previously had downloaded the Kindle App for my iphone, and didn’t mind the small screen.  I finally converted to the larger Kindle when I saw they had one now that can work in the US and internationally when you travel.  I will actually download a book while on the boat, so that I can see how it works, and report back.

I love all my techno-gadgets!!!  My iphone, my kindle, my digital camera, video DVD recorder, several computers, I wonder how I lived without them all!  LOL

I am NOT, I repeat, not going to bring any of my computers with me on vacation.  I am unplugging from technology, well, except for my kindle and my camera.  As soon as I get out of the US, I will also put my iphone on airplane mode.  You do this to avoid some serious roaming charges.

When I get back from my trip, the countdown is on for my new class.  I will do some trial video uploads, and some file uploads to make sure everything run smoothly.  My online class is actually going to be slightly different than my “in-person” class, so I can’t wait to see how the students like the expanded class.  Probably the biggest honor I have been given is that several people who have seen me “live and in person” for this class have signed up for the online version.  How cool is that?

Off to get my driver’s license renewed, and pre-pack!  Hugs, Carla

Back Home!

Joe and I enjoyed our quick trip to AZ for the wedding!  It was a beautiful wedding, the groom was handsome, the bride very pretty.  We were very happy for them!   My son, Stephen, was  a groomsman, and he did a very nice job giving a toast to the couple.

What I enjoyed the most was the musical entrance to introducing the wedding party to the reception.  Starting with the Groom’s parents, they danced in,  a couple at a time.  Every couple tried to outdo the others, it was pretty funny.

I wore high heels, against doctor’s advice to the contrary, so after the wedding I am paying for being vain.  We suffer for our beauty, y’know?  LOL

It is nice to be home now.

While I am gone on my next trip with Joe, my birthday will have taken place in early November.  I have been wanting the new Kindle Book which you can use both in the US and International.  I thought it would be perfect for my trip to the Caribbean, right?  Joe agreed, so  it should be here on Tuesday! Woo-hoo!

I love to read- and typically read a couple of books per week.  I had been reading on my little iphone Kindle App, so the new screen will seem huge!   I will show you it when it arrives.

That’s all from here.  Hope your weekend was wonderful!  Carla
