Last December, (here) my family spoiled me with a new
iPad Pro & pencil. This is an amazing tool, and though I am
semi-Apple knowledgeable, this one has a learning curve.
I have watched youtube videos galore, and GH#1is awesome.
I want to be able to maximize the benefits of this beauty.
I want to be able to also use the new guy when I travel.
I made an appointment for an iPhone & iPad intermediate class.
I chose Apple South Coast Plaza. Classes are an hour and free.
I have never been in an empty Apple Store.
I got there early, and stood behind a class already in progress.
It's a good thing, because once my class started
there was no time for photos. I knew some of it, I learned new
things and will sign up for more in the very near future.
I may graduate to the genius bar, for individual help.
Next I headed to my favorite store, next door ...
they had a 50% off sale and I had two gift cards
burning a hole in my pocket.
Let's just say they are no longer in my pocket.
By then I had sorta worked up an appetite, so ...
I ordered a hot green tea and ...
only with pepper jack cheese instead of Swiss & a side salad.
I knew you'd be curious, right?
Then home to work on this blog, as I will be gone tonight.
and will cover tonights event tomorrow.
Hope you can come back by?
In the "too good not to share" department ...
My Cousin Katha, posted this gem today
and I knew I had to share.
I don't think our kids know what an apron is. The principle use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few. It was also because it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons used less material. But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.
It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.
From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.
When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids..
And when the weather was cold, Grandma wrapped it around her arms.
Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove.
Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron.
From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls.
In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees.
When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds.
When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men folk knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.
It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that 'old-time apron' that served so many purposes.
Send this to those who would know (and love) the story about Grandma's aprons.
REMEMBER:
Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool. Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill to thaw.
They would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron.
I don't think I ever caught anything from an apron - but love
