Pure 500s and babysitting Sara

Larry and I played golf again Wednesday (10\22) and I did better. I played by myself (10\29) and did OK. It was cool and at times very windy. The course was virtually empty. I also received a bit of advice from one of the rangers about wedges; he suggested a “lob wedge” a 60° wedge for chipping and short close shots and I will have to investigate that club further.

Friday (10\31) I picked up the Siemens Pure 500s with the Tek remote. I really like the Bluetooth function of the Tek; it works very, very well and no one I have spoken to realizes I am using the remote for cell conversations even though I have the remote dangling from the lanyard. Being able to adjust the volume is an added plus and a very convenient feature. Friday at dusk when I took the girls for a walk I heard crickets, hundreds or crickets, something I haven’t heard in quite some time. I may have more of a hearing problem than I realized.

Yesterday (11\1) Sharon and I babysat Sara for most of the day because Alison had a field trip with a group of kids and Chad tagged along as a chaperone. It was quite the experience and it was a thrill. I can’t wait until Sara recognizes me on site and comes running to the car. Little Sara is a thrill and watching her dance to the music from her toys and try to mimic answering a cell phone at just over a year old is heartwarming. And though I doubt I will ever have one I understand why people have those “Ask me about my Grandkids” bumper stickers.
