CELL-PHONES

The modern things we have now are just great. I wasn't sure about the cell
phones until I was able to call someone when I was traveling thru several states
and just was able to chat. But best of all is getting calls from the "grandchildren"!!
so far just 5 of the 7 have cell phones. The first time I got a call and this
wee lil voice says"hi Grandma, what are you doing?", it was just delightful.
Only other Grandparents out there will appreciate that. It was nice one night to
hear from the oldest grandchild( who is in the National Guard) when she was too tired
to write but just wanted to call and say hello. Then just the other nite one of
the grandson's called to say his basketball team had won a championship
game. It was so good to hear the excitement in his voice telling me about the
game and the trophy they had won. Letters are nice but to hear the squeel of
excitement in a childs voice is happiness beyond words. Many thanks to the folks who
put together cell phones they give new meaning to staying in touch with loved ones.
I have a sister who always calls on her cell phone as she is going down the road
to go shopping, etc. We get a lot said as she travels a lot where she lives. I also have
a brother who will talk to me on speaker phone as he drives a truck to Louisiana. So
this marvelous cell phone is good for the older crowd too!!
