Dusty top of the kitchen fridge
No worries about cleaning
Unless . . .
Taller guests come to play bridge
Windshield wipers, broken and worn
Needing to be replaced
But never . . .
Attempt when rain becomes airborne
Congested and overmatched table
Keeping life healthy and in order
Looking like . . .
Walgreens, filled with pill labels
Remembering school days past
Time to take another test
Pausing . . .
Hoping the “ditto” smell will last
Self-driving cars, soon to be the craze
Sitting in one, with perplexed look
Pondering . . .
Will the back seat driver be unfazed?
Raiding the freezer for a midnight snack
Hunger disrupts blissful sleep
What’s this . . .
Cookie Dough ice cream has been hijacked
Installing a terrific app on her “hip” phone
Grandson helps his Grandma out
Meanwhile . . .
With his flip phone, Grandpa feels quite alone
Finding a parking spot is tonight’s mission
Free valet parking
Guaranteed . . .
When you drive a manual transmission
So many toilet paper choices and sizes
What ever happened to having just one?
Confusing . . .
Mega and Super Mega waiting in disguise
Enjoying a late night film on television
Fearful of falling asleep
Always prepared . . .
Setting an alarm, allows for night vision
Reading and proofreading, reading once more
Retired English teacher
Never satisfied . . .
Writing a “perfect” text with words to adore
If you have enjoyed this bit of fun
Wait for the next round
When . . .
Doughnuts and coffee for everyone

Wonderful stream of consciousness writing!
I’m in if there are doughnuts and coffee, and Grandpa needs to upgrade!

Jim, there is always coffee and doughnuts (as the Brits spell it). As for Grandpa and his flip phone, he still uses one. Don’t tell anyone!

Just staying at home except for my walks and careful trip to the grocery store about every 7-8 days.

Yep, me too, once a week for shopping, although our stores are having trouble keeping shelves stocked. One problem with living up here in the north.

Enjoyed the funny moments and how all things change over time from the flip phone to the self driving car…. I kept my flip phone for a souvenir.😀

Leola, I shouldn’t tell this . . . I still use a flip phone. However, I made up for the absence of a smart phone with a tablet by my side.

🤣🤣Now I don’t feel so bad Richard. My family use to laugh at me…. but it worked. I think my first smart phone was a hand me down, that’s how they got me to part with the flip phone.

And to think . . . I worked with students in the classroom, surrounded by technology. It’s okay to embrace technology, yet hang on to a bit of the past (even a paper calendar has its place). Take care Leola!
