Who would have ever thought that we can see each other from miles away and talk to each other without any lines??  Alexander Graham Bell didn't when he first invented the Telegraph system. Really nothing is really like the phone Mr. Bell invented. The dial up, wall hanging phone is pretty much obsolete. Kids now a days don't know what it is like to dial a number on a wall phone. They have grown up with cell phones and maybe a portable land-line where you can walk around and talk. The years of standing in a 3x3 spot in the kitchen are long gone.

My son and daughter in law are in the Navy, over in Norfolk with their little son.  I am so excited to be able to talk to him a couple times a week. It is the next best thing to being there.  They will soon have another little baby and to be able to see that new little soul is going to be wonderful.  I got online and found the site to download it. When I started my adult college education I never would have thought that the skills I learned in college would help me in everyday life, but it did. I knew where to find the volume control, microphone controls etc. That just shows you that learning needs to be a constant in our lives.  I hope my children learn something new every day and that my grandson embraces new knowledge. I can't wait to talk to him again...Life and change are both wonderful!!
