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!

Holiday with my precious family

We are spread far and wide, my family and I. I have just spent 1 week with Kerry, my 2nd daughter. Her husband Johannes spends much time travelling as his job demands, spending weeks at a time in Namibia. Kerry works a full day & juggles children. She amazes me. Watching her, I can hardly believe I once did the same thing!
I was introduced to my youngest grandchild Shanni, now 5 months old. and how the others have grown! Tessni now 10 years, was 4 when I last saw her for any length of time, & JP was only 2 & is now 8. My daughter I have missed so, & it has been wonderful to discover who they all are now.
My mother, who has always been there, unconditionally, always loving and forgiving. I praise God for her good health and that she is very alive to live a full and very productive life. She exhausts me! Then ther is Chris, my Step father, who has been like a grandfather to my children. They all see each other fairly often, maintaining that fragile bond that can so often be broken when children grow up and lead their own lives.
In two days time I travel home to Durban and Pray we will not wait so long to see one another again, life is fragile and might choices must be made. My earnest pray is that I make those might choices, so I have no regrets as time goes by.
