phoney tales

Story # 1: Here is my phone's little stereo system. 

While the sound coming out of this little device is

very good, the tube enables it to be more in a stereo effect. I enjoyed making it

after seeing it somewhere on the 'net. But to be honest, the best sound

comes when you put the phone in a small bowl or just lay it on some granite.

Story # 2: We have the custom of saying grace before our meals.

On more than one occasion I have finished cooking the meal and getting

it on the table while talking to (usually) my sister. We sit down to eat

and since we still seem to have more to say, we ask if the person

 at the other end would like to say the blessing for us. 

Here I am holding the phone while my sister prays on speaker. 

Then we start eating while continuing the conversation, begging her 

forgiveness for eating "in front of her."

I will admit there are usually a few smiles.

And yes, our big snow storm has arrived!
