SKYPE CALL ON THANKSGIVING

At 4:30 a friend and I are going out for Thanksgiving dinner. And since I’m not busy this afternoon preparing a huge dinner for company, I decided to call my cousin in Door Country to wish him a Happy Thanksgiving.

I turned on my cell phone to make the call. I always use it for long distance calls as every month I can make 300 minutes of free phone calls on my cell phone. When I called, the phone rang only once before the answering machine prompted me to leave a message. I assumed that since the phone only rang once, instead of the normal 4 or 5 that maybe he was home and talking on his phone.

And so instead of turning off my phone which I always do when I’m not using it, I placed it on the table and decided I would call my cousin again in a few minutes. But almost immediately my cell phone started ringing. What a shock. Since most of the time my cell phone is turned off, I receive very few calls.

But how lucky for me. It was my daughter-in-law calling. I asked if they were near their computer so that we could switch from our cell phones to Skype. She said yes and what a joy to see my granddaughter on Thanksgiving.
