We named ours gramella, and I'm not sure why but we still laugh when she says re-cal'cu-late in a somewhat disgruntled voice. <br /><br />Lovely photos of family and landscapes and waterfalls. If you ever get to the Pacific northwest, we have some beautiful ones here.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160202493785166930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-295156095063133812009-08-28T22:54:24.410-05:002009-08-28T22:54:24.410-05:00Hahaha!

I love it when we make 3 or 4 wrong turns and she changes her tone of "recalculating." If you keep it up long enough, she say, "could you please follow the designated route?" Rick and I almost had to pull over when we heard that one. It seems someone has a sense of humor there!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-48112610095906404232009-08-28T20:49:34.474-05:002009-08-28T20:49:34.474-05:00We have a really great Garmin and we never use it!...We have a really great Garmin and we never use it!
