When a Grandmother Turns Her Phone Off…

Curious to know what happens when a grandmother turns her phone off?

I never was. Until yesterday…

At 2:54pm, Tiffany [little sister] called. During her work hours. On a Thursday. That doesn’t happen. Well…that doesn’t normally happen…unless there’s an emergency.

I answered immediately.

“Can you pull Mom up on FindMyFriends? It says she’s at her house, but I am standing here, her Jeep is in the garage, the door is blocked, I have been banging on the door, and she is not answering. I’m worried… call me back.”. **CLICK**

Immediately, I did as instructed. I found Mom on FindMyFriends, …at home… I sent the screenshot to Tiffany, and called her back.

“It says she is at home… Give me a second, I am pulling up Life360 now [yes, I utilize two tracking apps on my family, and need ZERO judgement from you… This event confirmed my OCD and paranoia are correct — I NEED two tracking devices!!]. Life360 says she is on Marseille Drive????”

Confused, Tiffany informed me she was calling Papa Mike. **CLICK**

As I processed the fact ‘the sweet sister‘ had just hung up on me, TWICE, I opened a new browser tab.

My fingers quickly started typing… Marseille Drive. Google Earth. Maps. Aerial View…
