This is a place to unplug, unwind and and enjoy the simple things, a comfy chair, a good book and the sound of whatever is naturally making noise outside! Priceless in my book!  |
Funny what constitutes unwinding.... For me just the opposite
- a good book... iPad, Kindle ( will never run out of books and can read at night when a storm blows the power out)
- writing letters to family and friends with pics and movies to share ... iPad, laptop, smart phone
- watching weather to ensure safe passage to and from the island... -IPad, laptop, smart phone
- listening to abook while doing arduous camp chores... Audible.com on iPod, smart phone.
- fixing webcam that others use and enjoy... iPad, laptop
- three days of rain.... iPad, iPod, laptop, Wii, xbox
- something broke and need to find replacement.... Browse the web on iPad, laptop, smartphone
- navigate at night.... Winni map on iPad
- go hiking... Camera, phone in case of emergency
- jetskiing... Phone, GPS
- nap.... Good book on ipad, kindle, then drift off
- sit on deck and watch the lake..... A comfy chair
- nighttime... Open windows to hear the waves lap the shore
- playing scrabble... iPad, laptop to cheat (different kind of fun...learn a lot of words)
- reading forum...iPad, laptop, phone
While electronics are not for everyone, everywhere, mine greatly enhance island life!
This is being written fron the island, rainy day, laying on the couch...on my iPad
