Eureka, I've done it.

I've been enjoying learning to use my new 'smart phone' lately.  I gave up my old flip phone recently when my son introduced me to a very affordable monthly plan for a more modern phone.  So, I've been enjoying texting and taking pictures and sharing pictures, even playing games.  It took me a while to figure out how to make a phone call.  It's a little flat rectangle that doesn't look like a telephone, but I can make calls now.  It occurred to me last week though that I hadn't been having any success answering my phone. I finally confessed my plight to my daughter who, after she finished laughing, showed me what I was doing wrong.  It would appear that I was accidentally hanging up on people.  I am happy to report that I successfully answered a call today, woohoo... My next challenge is to learn to retrieve voice mail messages.  I'm not in too much of a hurry about that though.  I figure if someone really needs to talk to me they will call back -although maybe not if I keep hanging up on them.

Several friends have commented to me over the last couple of years,that their children are hard to reach on their cell phones.  If they really want to communicate with their kids, they know that they will answer texts.  Humm.. maybe I'm not the only one who is technologically challenged.
