Resourcefulness - Dealing With Change

We are experiencing changes.  Instead of saying we can't do this or can't do that, we are choosing to find new (or should I say old?!) and different ways to do the same thing.  One change is that we now have one cell phone for both of us which is only able to be used if there is internet access or a cell tower in the area. This does not mean we can't stay in contact with family and friends - we will just do it differently.  And it is weird to share a phone with texting, etc.  Like really weird.  For example, today we were at a rest stop and I was waiting for Jonathan so thought I would just text him to see what was taking so long.  Oh wait!  I would be texting myself!

We also no longer have a data plan on our phone so we don't have GPS or ways to look up where the next Starbucks is.  We are learning we just have to plan ahead more.  We also use this nifty gadget


A Compass!!

And then there are always these antiquated things that we found in the car door pocket:


And instead of texting or emailing, there are always letters.  Say what???!!!  We have a bet going about who will send us our first letter.  Hmmmmm.

  1. Did anyone send one yet?? I might try but for some reason I don't think it would arrive before others... ;)

  2. Yes, the first letter arrived here before we did! Betty's friend, Karen, had a letter waiting for us! (Along with a Netflix DVD! Of course Betty's family was close on Karen's heels: Esther and Cynthia's letters arrived early in the week.
