Probably the funniest one you've written. Oke can't give gifts to departing volunteers but Gracie had a watch she had stashed away and gave it to me. It has the blue goose emblem on the face. So far, I can't find the buttons to program it, but it does had a little thingy sticking out on the side. Do you know how to operate it?

Our daughter did this some years ago. The verbal input was very shaky, like you could speak the proper command to set the alarm for 6 AM and it would change the time zone to Calcutta. After a while we accepted that the feature really didn't work and it became a source of amusement rather than frustration. Hopefully if anyone acquires such a thing in the future, the technology will have improved.Merikay MacKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090072368063727932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-74987435373157928852014-04-11T00:11:14.028-05:002014-04-11T00:11:14.028-05:00It is a good experience to take the kids for a tri...It is a good experience to take the kids for a trip.
