We actually got out and went for a walk today and it was pretty nice. I took this picture from across the meadow of our house. My new camera has a 12X zoom on it so it brings things up pretty close as you can see. Notice that you don’t see any neighbors close by… just the way we like it.
On another note I have a Google Voice account that I haven’t used much since I didn’t have much use for it until today. We have a home phone here but it’s for incoming calls only so I got to thinking that I might be able to make Google Voice work as a way to call out on this home phone. I tried it out and it works like a champ. Our cell phones don’t work very well from home since the cell tower is just over the hill from us and we can only make calls from a few spots in our house. This new ability helps a lot since we have cordless phones so now we should be able to call out from anywhere in the house.
Speaking of phones, I finally broke down and bought a new phone. I wanted a smart phone so I ended up getting a Windows phone, a Samsung Focus. The phone itself cost me 1 cent… yep, hard to believe, huh? I can’t believe they would actually even charge me for the one penny but they did. AT&T doesn’t have any unlimited data plans any more so I had to get the 2 gig plan and the total for phone and data with messaging comes to $70/month. I would just dump AT&T altogether but there are too many people I know in that network and I can call them for free. Anyway, a step up in technology for me. Ya gotta love that!
