December 2, 2013. Ridgeland, Mississippi. The New Phone.

Driving home from shopping,  Ken's phone rang.   It had a strange ring but as the phone was in his pocket, we knew it was his.   The funny part was that Ken could not figure out how to answer the phone and take the call.  We just laughed and laughed.

Ken and I have been using old flip type phones.   Ken decided that he needed a smart phone that had all the gadgets.  Also we needed to upgrade our MiFi, and find out about international calling.   We visited a Verizon store.   Those visits always last four times as long as you anticipate it will be.    The young lady helping us was wonderful but we had lots of questions and so did she.    Finally, Ken bought a fancy phone, but not an iPhone.    He had been reading about other phones and had isolated the one he wanted.    And of course, we increased our minutes on the mifi, and bought a wireless charger.    But they needed to set the new phone up.

It was well past lunch time so I left the Verizon store to check out the Honey Baked Ham store right next door.  I hit pay day.  At that same store, they also make deli sandwiches, so I ordered us each a sandwich and told Ken what he had done.   The food was a big surprise.  Ken was so hungry that he would not wait for any instructions, which is why he could not answer the phone.  The rest of the afternoon he has spent figuring it out.  Now if you call him  301 509 2026, he will answer on his fancy new phone...maybe.
