Out the With Old In With the New
In the month of December before the year was out, we had appliances and electronic equipment breakdown. It all happened within a couple of weeks. Where it began I can’t tell you. It may have been my new smart phone. It just stopped working. I went into my Verizon store and the salesperson (after trying several things) agreed with me I had a defective battery. Next our printer, not new by any standard, gave out in the middle of our Christmas card printing. We replaced it with a Canon Pixma MG8120. We did have to wait for it as I ordered it online to get the best price. Some of our recipients got their Christmas card a little late or maybe we should just call it a New Year’s card. No sooner was that problem solved then refrigerator fan, that had made questionable noises for a long time, gave out in the refrigerator shut down, forcing us to move its contents to our neighbors freezer and our refrigerator items to the screened in porch. Over the next 3 days the repair man, a congenial guy from Mr. Appliance, had to make 3 calls to get everything working again. Meanwhile my MacBook trackpad decided to stop, altogether, this meant a trip down to Wichita Falls about an hour from us, and several hours waiting. We decided to make the most of our time while were waiting in Wichita Falls lunching at Casa Mañana. Arriving home we believed, it was all fixed, but no! The 1st time I tried to export an image via Bluetooth from my smart phone to my computer, I was informed that Bluetooth was not installed! Not that I wanted to see Wichita Falls again so soon, but we had no choice but to go back. The Bluetooth in fact had not been connected correctly by the tech (its complicated). It is said that bad luck comes in threes, our breakdowns numbered four. So let’s knock on wood or metal or plastic and welcome in the new year!
