There's an App for that!

February24

My husband and I are  recent converts to the IPhone movement. Exciting for this old married couple! 
His previousphone was the technological equivalent of a old Model T Ford complete with cranking handle. Mine was more advance in nature. Well, when it wasn’t “thinking” it was more advanced.  (Good Bye Blackberry and Motorola of Unknown Origin. You are not missed.)
The IPhone has these [...]

Steamy Kitchen Tales
