It really did surprise me, that my wife who does not encourage me to carry cash (as I don’t spend it, I tend to LOSE IT) would suggest to me that we get me an iPad.  We bought her one about a year ago, and she loves it, and the kids do too, but in all honesty, I never use it.

BUT, my wife is pretty insightful.  I have programs on my computer I use for work (it is a Macbook Pro) and they sync seamlessly with my phone (which is an iPhone).  The problem is that when I need to READ something off the phone like a file, it is way too small, meaning that I am “middle-aged” and cannot see.  My guide dog is worthless, as he is wet most of the time and sleeping, plus he cannot read! And in dog years he is considered to be in his mid-60’s if he hasn’t kept that theory at bay by all the “rest” he gets.

But anyway, Amanda got me an iPad, and it is a MINI one.  The big one was not too much smaller than my laptop, and to be honest when we talked about the possibility I made a cardboard cutout of the size of a Mini and carried it around for a few days……it seemed to work fine…..other than it was cardboard.

And I will confess, the real Mini works far better than that cardboard one, and for it I am thankful.  Will it be helpful?  Time will tell, but I think so….at least as I am getting used to adding it to the mix it seems pretty plausible, especially as the fonts of the programs I use are now what we used to call in the old days “readable.”

So now I have no excuses to keep up with life other than that whole age thing.  But in time I suppose Apple will find a solution for that as well.  I am just doing my best to keep up with the times.

Thanks Honey!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
