Nook Tablet

 So I changed my mine on the Nook.  I always said I didn't want one because I wanted to support Libraries and authors.    But............ turns out I am still supporting them.  With my new Nook tablet I can buy books from my favorite authors and even borrow books from my library or friends.   

   So I bought me a Nook tablet for my birthday.   Early I know but when I make up my mind I want it now, LOL.   I got it yesterday and have been spending the day getting finding out how to use it.    I have a tracfone,   cheep and easy.  No smart phone and expensive costs for me.  I don't like talking on the phone anyway.  So my son who always has the latest and greatest phones set up my Nook in about 10 sec where it would have taken me an hour or so.  I am not used to the touch screens and pinching etc.   But after messing around with it last night and this morning I now have books at my fingertips and movies, the web, newspapers, games.   It's really fun.  And the books are reasonable.  So fun fun, something new.

   Other things that are new.   My son and his family bought a house and moved out last Saturday.   I have my house back.  Wow, after a year it seems empty.  But nice.  6 other people living here was chaotic and noisy not to mention with one bathroom trying at times.   I am happy for them.   Our goal was to let them stay here until they got back on their feet and it seems to have worked.  I hope it all goes well for them and they are still close.   During the week I still have the 4 kids here to keep me busy.  But our nights, when I am not working are our own.  We can use the pool without 4 to 6 kids in it.  My storage space is back and I imagine all my utility bills will go way down not to mention my food bills.

   It was fun though.  I will really miss Sophia who was here most.   The furry critters miss her also.  But she got the dog she has dreamed of having for as long as I have known her.  She is one happy little girl.  And my 2 grandchildren from Philly are here for the summer.  It has been fun.

    I have gone an entire year without breaking anything or needing surgery.  Happy happy joy joy.  The weather finally cooled down and my tomatoes are looking good.  What more could a woman want.

  

   So I hear you can lend and borrow books on your nook.  Anyone have one and now how it works?

   The cat has really become a member of the family,  she is so sweet but so playful.  Zoey's tail is looking pretty ragged because the cat likes to play with it.  Zoey puts up with it for awhile and then turns her big head and barks really loud at the cat who in turns leaps straight up in the hair and tears off.  Fun to watch.   Zoey is doing pretty good lately.  Occasionally she has bad days but more good days then bad at this time. 

    So now that I have my computer room back and time on my hands I hope to start getting to read the blogs again.  I think I can on my nook,  my next thing to figure out.  I hear you can learn anything you need to know about using it on youtube so I will be checking that out.  Hope all are doing well and enjoying your summer.
