Busy Weekend

Saturday we went to the Best of Missouri Market at the Missouri Botanical Garden with my daughter's family. It's been an annual event for us for several years. The weather was sunny and cool, which I absolutely loved. We sampled a lot of good food and, as usual, the boys enjoyed all the kid activities. Plus, as a bonus this year, I snagged a number of half-priced Lego stocking stuffers in the gift shop.

Jonah was very proud of the pumpkin
he picked out and decorated.

After the Market we picked up hubby's new iPhone at Verizon, which I had been dreading. It's amazing to me how clueless he is about technology despite using it all day every day. I had to do all the talking because he had no idea what the sales clerk was asking. The kicker was when he asked me what his Apple ID and password were!

When we got home, I connected the new phone to our WiFi and went through the setup process. All seemed well until Sunday when a message appeared saying the phone wasn't activated. At that point, I strongly suggested he go back to Verizon and get it fixed, and didn't offer to go with him. He simply has to work harder at keeping up with basic technology. If I have to explain one more time what IOS 8 is I'm going to scream!

Verizon had no idea how they didn't properly activate the phone the day before. But it seems to be working now. Best of all, hubby shouldn't need another new phone for at least two years.

On Sunday we went to California Pizza Kitchen to use my birthday award, $10 off $40 worth of food plus a free dessert. In addition to our entrees (California Club sandwich for hubby; Chicken Piccata for me), we shared a Caramelized Peach Salad and a piece of Pumpkin Cheesecake. Everything was delicious, but we had to take home half of each entree. Hubby had his leftovers for dinner last night. Tonight, along with leftover home-roasted vegetables, we'll share my leftovers. Thank you CPK for five great meals with no kitchen clean-up for the birthday girl!
