How To Reboot iphone With Power Button Broken

Grammy T's Amazing Adventures: How To Reboot iphone With Power Button BrokenHow to Reboot an iphone when power button is broken

On my iphone 3G my sleep/wake button doesn't respond and 
I found a fix so I wanted to share with you. 

See the solution below:

If your phone is not frozen, you can turn on "digital" versions 
of your hardware keys without erasing network settings. 
Go to settings, general, accessibility; 
assistive touch  "on". 

A small white dot will show up on your screen, 
which you can move wherever you'd like to keep it. 
Tap the dot, 
tap device, 
and there is your lock screen button, 
which if you hold down 
will bring up 
the power off
red arrow. 

You can use these buttons the same way you would 
the "real" button.

That worked and it was booted off. 

Then - Oh, oh I couldn't  figure out 
how to turn it back on without 
that power button that is on 
the top right of the phone 

because it is broke.

I looked until I found a very easy peasy fix. 

Do you want to know what it is? 

OK, I'll tell you. 

 When you plug the phone or ipad into the wall 
as if you were charging the device and 
it will power on. 

Yep, that easy and it worked. 
I thought I was going to have to get 
a new phone 
or have it taken apart but nope, 
just plug it in to charge it 
and walaaah! 

It is fine. 

Love, 
Grammy T.

DIY Gypsy Jewelry Box from The Dollar Tree

Pillbox from The Dollar Tree

When I travel I usually put my earrings and necklaces 
together in a eyeglass case. 

But they would get all tangled up.

I saw this cute little pillbox yesterday at
The Dollar Tree and it
works perfectly.

No tangles now.

It's All About Having A Possitive Attitude



Or as Maya Angelou so eloquently stated, 
(doesn't she always).
  
"You may not control all the events that happen to you, 

but you can decide not to be reduced by them. 

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud. 

Do not complain. 

Make every effort to change things you do not like.

If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. 

You might find a new solution." 

Love,
Grammy T.

I Love Carmel By The Sea

Grammy T's Amazing Adventures: I Love Carmel By The Sea
Lillie's and laughter


After our trip to Carmel I decided to check and see how all of these 

darling houses came into existence. 

Carmel By The Sea is a darling village in fairy tale style 
and has been one of our favorites 
for years. 

Here is the answer:

Hansel
How Arthur Rackham and Hugh Comstock are linked...
Hugh Comstock was very familiar with Rackham's illustrations and when his wife asked him to build her a showroom for her handmade rag dolls “Otsy-Totsys”, the first time builder looked to Arthur Rackman's illustrations and built his wife a Rackham-inspired cottage, called Hansel. Hugh found his life's calling in the building of the cottage and proceeded to build twenty one more, all of which can still be found in Carmel today. Comstock was certainly not the only one influenced by Rackham's drawings, Walt Disney told his illustrator's to study Rackham's style before illustrating Disney's first full length animation, 'Snow White'.* And Peter Jackson's 'Ent's were most certainly derived from Rackham's frequent depictions of Ent-like beings.

Tuck Box

If you haven't been to Carmel you need to go. 
It is wonderful and enchanting and you 
won't be sorry. 

Just to see pictures of it make my heart 
go Awwwwe!

Love,
Grammy T.

How To Be A Good Public Speaker



Happy Day After The Super Bowl. I guess there can be no question as to who won that game yesterday. The Seahawks. 

So what's with this video? This is shaking Marshawn Lynch wearing his ski mask being coached by his teammate Michael Robinson. Marshawn Lynch is extremely camera shy. He has been fined $50,000 by the NFL for not speaking to the media. 

I was curious about the two players so I checked out their stories. Marshawn is nicknamed "Beast Mode" and is an all American running back. He played football for the University of California, Berkeley where he became the schools all time career rusher. He went to high school at Oakland Tech where he played football, basketball and ran track. 

Michael Robinson is known as being "Well Rounded and Well Grounded". He went to Varina High School in Richmand Virginia. And he went to Penn State and played football under Joe Paterno as a quarter back and more. He has two degrees in three years and is 12 credits away from having his masters degree. His degrees are in advertising and public relations. He also says that he has a lot of on camera experience and it shows. 

It was a miracle that Michael Robinson could play in the winning game against the Denver Bronco's because he had an adverse reaction to the anti inflammatory "Indocin" and was in the hospital in August after thinking he only had a bug. He lost 30 pounds but came back to play this season.

One teacher who has a blog, "I'm Lovin Lit"  divised a lesson from this video. 


So mom's and teachers out there 
here is a great chart to help teach children about 
speaking in public. 

Marshawn could have used this. 

Maybe he will see these blog posts
and 
practice. 

*Because practice makes perfect...Right?*

My Protectors

Remember the time I came home from a date and found my Papa King and my dad on the front lawn with their shot guns? That was a bit shocking to say the least. My Nana King had died and Papa was living with us and he was sleeping in front bedroom of our house in Fair Oaks.

A board like Kenny made to save me.


I was out on a date with the boy who has been my husband for 52 years and I guess that someone knew I was out and wanted to surprise me when I got home because he tried to get into our front door. Papa King heard him and got my dad and the guns. Candy our little dog heard him too thank goodness. I guess that guy didn't know that my Papa had been a CHP and police chief for 40 years. But he should have known that Candy wouldn't put up with that kind of stuff. 

On another night I had just come home from a date and I was washing my face in the bathroom. The window was open because it was a hot summer night. I felt someone watching me and turned to look and I saw a persons chest. Yikes! I walked over and closed the cranked open window, dried my face and went and got Candy. I should have let her out the front door but I was a little afraid to do that. The next day Kenny my little brother checked the flower beds and found bare feet foot prints. He then proceeded to make planks of wood with nails in it like the one above and and buried them with the nails pointing up so that my admirer would get a big surprise if he went peeking around my windows.  

Eventually Papa, Danny, Kenny and my dad organized a stakeout. The only person they saw while in hiding was a neighbor boy that came up to our property and turned around and went away. I guess he could tell that there was going to be trouble if he came up peeking in my windows again. 

But Kenny left the boards with nails in the flower beds for a long time. My dad and papa talked to the boys folks about it.


Because that's what dads and grandpa's do.
