Photo Journal 2011-2012

I haven't blogged for a while.  Yesterday my cell

phone dove into the toilet from my back pocket.

I immediately fished it out. No I didn't flush first, but I

rinsed it off and dried it.  I took it apart and put

it in a bag of rice to sit over night and hoped for the best.

All night, all I could think about were all the pictures

I had on my phone that I hadn't uploaded.  I decided if my

phone miraculously works in the morning I HAVE to upload 

them  (and other pictures from my camera),

and put them in a safe place so I don't loose those photos.

This morning, I put the phone together.... it turned on! 

I made a couple of calls, sent a couple of texts to check on 

the performance... everything was fine!  Amazing!

So, as the lady in line behind me at Subway said today...

"I want a butt-load of green peppers.".... I'd like to quote

her in true Sanpete fashion and say..."Here are a 'butt-load'

of photos from my cell phone." 

Now they are in a safe place, my blog.  I hope I never have

to fish anything out of the toilet again, but I'm glad I did

because it motivated me to post these pictures.

Enjoy!

I had to add this last minute photo of Alex because he's not really

 in any of my cell phone pics  Sorry Al!
