What is so easy for young children, frustrates us. We cling to our old ways, the ON and OFF days, having maybe three choices, and items lasting longer than a year. Now we have a million choices and none of them work for us.

It's an old one now, the iPhone 6 (think they are on 12 now). But we hardly ever use it to actually talk, but do text and send pics constantly among the family. My most used apps are the calendar, notes (where I keep all the dates of last flu shot, etc.), and of course google where I can ask anything and get an instant answer. Hope you enjoy yours.
