My Mom has said hello to the world of Technology!
Welcome, Mom!!!!
She has an email account too!!!
And She reads my blog!
It all started when she got a new laptop after Thanksgiving. It's beautiful. 17" screen... so nice! Anyway, she's been getting on the Internet and looking at QVC and playing all sorts of games.
Her ultimate goal is for us to all get web cams and then we can "Skype" back and forth. (Not sure if I spelled Skype right, but for people like me... it's web chatting.)
So... my mom is now on line. :) And when I was last home, we logged onto Facebook so she could check out all of our photos (especially my brother's) and see what my aunts and cousins were up to in Texas. Then she said she wanted to see my blog. So I showed her. And she seemed interested. Then she was like, "Well, how am I going to find this again." I added it to her "Favorites."
So... time goes by and Mom and I are talking on the phone like we do every day (yes, I talk to my mom every single day if possible. I remember my mom calling her mom every day. It's what we do. And I think I am better for it.) And she mentions my blog. I tell her to look it up. She says she doesn't know how. I gently remind her of her Favorites side bar. "Ok," she says. Onto another topic.
I called Wednesday. She and my Aunt Linda were reading my blog! Apparently they enjoy it now that Mom can find it. :) It's a discussion topic. Ah... technology is a beautiful thing. And what they say about new tricks... anything's possible. My mom wants us all to have web cams after all.
Welcome to the Land of Erin, Mom and Aunt Linda!!!! So glad you could join the party!!!

hey, its Jessica (your cousin), i randomly found your blog through face book :)(and it is FABULOUSLY SCRUMPTIOUS (i love making new word combos)) But anyways my computer has a web-cam so if your mom wants to Skype (i gots that too) i can add her and then she can talk to me and anyone else down here. ie; my parents, our aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents. Cause I got a net-book so it has that built-in microphone and camera.
