My Rebel ;)


So, when we went canoeing we discussed how we should NOT take electronic devices of any kind on the river. Kind of obvious right? It's just not a smart idea! Electronic devices and big bodies of water usually don't mix too well. So, we take a bus up river, so that we can paddle down the river back to where we have parked our vehicles. When we get off the bus and start putting the canoes in the water, I look around for Tom and he is talking on his cell phone. Huh???? His cell phone....definitely an electronic device. I called him a rebel. LOL!!! And, I have to say it was the second time in a week I called him a rebel. The first being when we were on a detour for road construction and he went down a road that was marked "road closed". lol! Back to the phone.... he said he brought it along so that we could have the time....neither of us wears a watch. ok, that DID make sense .....I guess. lol!

So, we are all in our canoes having a little mini pit stop. All just sitting around chatting when "plop".......I know you've guessed it already.......Tom's cell phone hit the water........down to the bottom of the river it goes. We all discussed it and Tom was searching for it. James dove under and came back up with it. One of the guys there advised Tom to take his battery out of the phone immediately. And then go home and put it in a bag of rice to dry it out. We decided to give it a try, but we were not very hopeful at all......especially since Tom has already lost one cell phone to a cup of coffee....sigh.... But, guess what? IT WORKED!!!! We were shocked when he put the battery back in the next day and Whaaaa Laaa....restored cell phone!

Pretty cool huh?!!!

Love,
Wendy
