Other than getting on the computer for a bit each morning, I have no need for technology. I read (a lot). I have a library card. How many people even know where their public library is? I grew up in a home where we were not allowed to watch TV. As an adult, I still don't watch TV. I have a cell phone because my husband said I might need it if I break down somewhere. It mostly collects dust in the center console of the truck. I guess it would help if I knew people to call, but I don't, so it's just clutter. I love hobbies, and the outdoors and people watching in the park. I guess that just makes me weird. And lastly, my favorite thing at the fair (besides the petting zoo), is the smoked turkey legs.

Not so much my phone, no one ever calls it since I don't give the number out much. I just like the feeling of safety it gives me. However, there are days when I take my car (does that count as technology?) and drive up the coast or through the countryside and find a castle ruin to explore and technology couldn't be further from my mind.Sounds like you had a great day! Made me want to be there too :)Cait Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227604252399059784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721981671290108541.post-59436622361508301452009-09-06T17:25:45.748-05:002009-09-06T17:25:45.748-05:00I enjoy the days when I don't play the TV or r...I enjoy the days when I don't play the TV or radio and simply scrapbook. I like doing it the old-fashioned way, with scissors and paper, instead of the new digital way on the computer. I'm on my computer hours a day. When I scrapbook, I like to make up my own designs and pages instead of using what someone has predesigned for me.<br /><br />Love the picture of the big cabbage!<br /><br />LynnLynn LaFleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17859597499640023156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721981671290108541.post-50354794055938074732009-09-06T16:08:19.128-05:002009-09-06T16:08:19.128-05:00Wow!
