The Bartlett Family Adventure

The Bartlett Family Adventure is all about the moments that take my breath away as I grow in the glory of God, and live my life to the best of my ability while raising two rowdy boys. This blog is not just about me, it also includes stories of my family's daily adventures. We home school our boys, are trying to grow our fruits and vegetables, we are all on a journey to God, we are trying to live sustainably, and most importantly love the life we lead. Sometimes we stumble, but mostly I like to think we prevail. I am blogging to keep a sort of shared journal. Our life may be messy but it is perfect.

New Phone

You may fine the title of this post confusing because this is not about the new phone but about the application I got it for, or rather my husband got for me. The VZ Navigator, GPS my friends where ever you go. Those of you that know me know that I can get lost, really lost in one bad turn and instead of turning around I get even more lost for hours. I have been worried about moving to a major city, afraid that I was going to get really lost. So after much talking and price checking between a mobile with gps or a gps for the car for us the new phone was a better deal.
After pizza and a beer I started thinking about the loss of Adventure. I have a real gift for getting lost. I once drove around the British country side for six hours trying to find something that looked familiar, detours are an adventure waiting to happen, I don’t mind driving and so far I have not been stuck out of gas but sometimes being lost is fun. I wonder if I will become totally dependent on my phone that I might one day forget the thrill of being in a new place and the puzzle of getting back. Take a left turn at the light…
Maybe at the very least I will have a back up way to get unlost and not miss an appointment at the same time.
Here’s to a smooth road and great weather when you are on a lost adventure.
