Contact! Hello, Mom!


I printed out a letter for my mother today, and tonight she contacted me on Skype.com , which is really nice free video realtime conversations. Perfect for my wife and mother to talk to each other, and I love talking to my absent son when he is in exotic locations working for the NAVY. Yeah, I know, I don't do cellphones but I like to talk on Skype.com - the most I ever say in a year to my brother seems to be on Skype.com - he is a talker not a writer.

My mother is a writer, a weekly letter for years to everyone, and all her poetry, but she is more alone and although she wants to read my blog she is a bit timid in finding it - although my brother set it up as the default on her Safari, she just doesn't use Safari enough to find it. She writes and she reads Email, and will, use the Skype.com but the next step to Safari isn't in her ability. I guess we, my mother, wife and I, will become extinct because we didn't adapt to changing technology - although my wife is on the telephone with her family in Korea, and we have heard from our son in Hawaii tonight (I didn't since I was hosting my mother on the computer in the Computer Cave). It has been a wonderful Sunday, contact with those far away and so close in our hearts, email from my sister and shooting at the range after church - life is good.
