MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID TO ME, "WHAT A PITY YOU HAD SUCH A BIG FAMILY TO RAISE THINK OF THE NOVELS AND THE SHORT STORIES AND POEMS YOU NEVER HAD TIME TO WRITE BECAUSE OF THAT.'

AND I LOOKED AT MY CHILDREN AND I SAID, 'THESE ARE MY POEMS. THESE ARE MY SHORT STORIES.

Technology- WHAT HAVE MY CHILDREN DONE TO ME I knew I should have stuck to cell phones. But with 4 blogging children, I was always the one in the dark when it came to keeping up with what filled their days. SO whilst visiting Kerry, my second daughter, she took me off to an internet cafe and set it all up for me. Very easy she says, The easy part was her doing all the setting up while I watched, still in the dark. However, I walked out of there feeling ten feet tall, I had entered the world of technology, even if I still onlyunderstool cell phones. I then went on to spend a couple of days with my very clever computer whizz mother. I watched. Then my mom suggests that I "get the feel of the mouse" Well, how hard car that be? The mouse and I clashed immediately, and between us we lost the arrow. With parental help we managed to find the arrow and return it to its rightful place. there were glitches though, it went right when Iintended it to go left and viz a viz. then zooming,moving the picture was something else again. It seemed Iwould need super powers of co-ordination for this task. However, I shall persevere s that I can join the ranks of the bloggers keeping in touch with mybeloved family and broadening myhorizons by meeting others. God bless my family for the encouragement and my ever patient husband Andy who spent four hours at least helping me to find all my blog and e-mail sites. When the children were small I knew more than they did, when they became teens they knew EVERYTHING when they were 20 ish they were amazed at how much I had learned and how smart I had become, but now, alas, it would seem that the tables have turned once again!
