Calling all Verizon users

Did you know that you could send text messages from your computer to a loved one's cell phone? I didn't until my MIL (mother-in-law) clued me in (she's a technologically savvy gal). It is soooo much easier to type a message on a keyboard rather than your cell phone. I am a "ITAP"/ ("T9 Word")...whatever you'd like to call it...user (which is relatively fast), but I might be hooked on this method for the rest of my life. Why? Because I can write really long text messages to my husband (and other loved ones) now within the blink of an eye. I am sure he'll love it. If anyone can fill me in on anymore text messaging tips, please feel free to dole out the advice. And in case there are some out there that have not tried this yet, here's how you do it. Type in the 10-digit cell phone number (no symbols) then @vtext.com. Ex. 5551234567@vtext.com. If you try it, let me know what you think of it. Happy texting.

Circle Game Saturday


February is finally complete, March is here, and spring, in my mind, is just around the corner (hopefully). Here's the new question...(sorry, it is aimed at people who experience or have experienced seasons):
What is your favorite sign of spring?
Now that we have moved into our neighborhood, one of my new favorite signs of spring is the blooming pear trees that line the streets. They are gorgeous. It was a wonderful surprise last spring when I saw them and I can't wait to see them again around mid-April.
