I LOVE my Tablet

I’m talking about the Android I gave myself last month.  It is fabulous. 

Apps are what it’s all about!   They are software programs that I consider embedded in the Tablet. And, many of the Apps are free.

I raised my children when a cautionary phrase was, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch” – meaning, some way or another you will pay for that lunch.  So I am alert to the possibility there is no such thing as a free App. Perhaps one day I will discover a downside to my free App acquisition experiences. 

Favorite Apps I’ve moved to my opening screen are: the Golf Channel, Local Weather, the Camera, Internet, Memo, Instagram, Mahjong, Gallery (every photo taken with the Tablet) and Recipes.

Yesterday I discovered amazingly wonderful features of the Recipe Book App.  I really can clear every recipe book off my kitchen counter!  With a touch of a finger onto that thin Tablet I access any recipe needed or thought about.  Along with the recipe, is a shopping list, measurement explanations and nutritional information of the dish.  And I can easily take a picture of my finished dish.  I haven’t cooked anything yet.  I will.  And I’ll take a picture.

My Tablet is with me, practically all the time.  It’s tucked between the pages of the soft-cover edition of Black Star Girl, which goes wherever I go.  After all, I love my precious award-winning memoir as if it were a child of mine.  Actually it is a ‘child of mine’.  Producing Black Star Girl was a labor of love that took me 34 years to write and publish.  I digress.  The point is, I have no need to buy a carrying case for my Tablet.  It is safe and accessible within the pages of my book.

This senior citizen appreciates the value of a Tablet!  If you want to know which one I have, drop me a line.  I’ll be happy to share.
