This review is from: Barnes & Noble NOOK Color eBook Tablet

My husband bought us a pair of Nook Colors for our anniversary.

I find it to be very user friendly . The first day I got it was able to load pictures from my pc, add apps so I could have Facebook, Twitter and Google + at hand, I was able to check my email, view videos. Its awesome!!!!

We took the Nook Color class at B&N just to make sure we were utilizing all of the features. I was very impressed a the speed of the Nooks processor. I can look up books, magazines, newspapers, apps & order them and they are downloaded in about 30 seconds.

I also like the Nook accessories. When we bought our Nooks we purchased screen scratch protectors and leather covers. I got a beautiful "red" leather one, my signature color, my husband got a very nice tri fold leather one in tan, we were also given cute little nook corner fobs with literary quotes on them.

The Nook incredibly stylish.

The images on the screen are clear, crisp and vivid.

I have been taking it with me everywhere. At dinner out, was able to use my Nook to check movie times. Its like having a mini laptop in my bag.

I picks up wi-fi great. I am working on tethering it to my cell phone in non wi fi areas with some success. My issue is where there is no wi fi ,I also have a weak signal on my phone. Everyone I have shown my nook color too has been impressed.

I forgot to mention it stores and reminds me of appointments, lets me take notes and email asap. This Nook is great for work and pleasure.

Oh yeah I can read books on it too...smiles

Thank you dearest husband for this anniversary gift. I absolutely love it.

END OF SUMMER 2011-ITS BEEN A LONG HOT SUMMER

Its been a long hot summer.

Despite the drought my garden grew beautifully. My tomatoes tasted like sunshine. Picking home grown veggies always makes my spirit smile. Tallulah a red slider turtle now lives in our banana tree and my husband put a pond in for her. The fish are getting fat and sassy in the water garden and all the water foliage has gotten established. Our dogs and cats are loved and content.We floated down the river, had alot of BBQ's, had some family time,bought vegetables at the Farmer's Market , and fresh milk from the Dairy. We have all had good health and work so we are blessed. Despite the ongoing 100 degree plus days, summer is drawing to an end. Theoretically Fall starts in a few days. A new season a new beginning.

***********

We took a week long trip up to Gruene Texas. Every summer we go tubing at least once if not twice. Texas hasn't had any real rain in 10 months so we are in a pretty bad drought. I wasn't sure there would be enough water in the rivers to go this year, but after talking to a few folks that had been we went and had a great time. We did the Guadalupe at the Horseshoe which is usually our favorite but the water was low and slow, it was a 5 1/2 hr float and we hit lots of rocks. Another day of tubing we did the Comal in downtown New Braunsfels they have 3 chutes, the water was flowing and the float lasted about 2 hrs. We did the float 3 times in a day.

There is a much different crowd on the Comal than at the Horseshoe.
