Back in Touch
This was in my email inbox this morning:
She's been without a working computer, or email, since Christmas. Oh, how I've MISSED seeing her name in my inbox throughout the week. Especially when my brother was so sick, and she was a bit overwhelmed with caring for him, on top of her recent move and everything that came with that, and what seemed like relentless snow storms.
Not that we haven't talked, of course we have, but with our different schedules and the time difference of two hours, it's been much harder to stay in touch. Not only that, she told me she missed being able to read blogs of her daughters, and granddaughters, seeing recent photos of the family, and what they were all up to. What a nice gift this morning, a "Hello Bev" to go with my Sunday morning cup of coffee. (And what kid, no matter the age, doesn't love a note that ends, "Much, much love, Mom"!) Indeed it IS the little things, isn't it!
You can go HERE to read her most recent post. That blog of hers was getting downright dusty!
P.S. The 'being so different than what I was used to' refers to her new operating system, Vista I believe. I think it must be making things look a bit foreign to her.
Hi Bev. It's about nine thirty p.m., Feb.23. Dwain put computer together, and showed me a few details about it being so different from what I was used to. I don't have email address list like before to just click them on, so typing them in feels so slow. Can tell I have much to learn, but I will. Please tell the bloggers I've been out of touch with so long, as soon as I can figure out how to use Flight Song again, have many stories to share with them. Now I need to surprise Barb with an email too. Much much love, Mom.
