On Vacation and Still in Touch

This week I am on vacation down in Florida, and my granddaughter and I miss each other very much. But that has been a little bit alleviated by the few Facetime chats we have had.

I see now, how important technology has become for long distance grandparents. Both Skype and Facetime let those grandparents who do not get to see their grandchild all the time, to still become a familiar face..

Even if you say you are not "good with the computer" it is to your very distinct advantage to become, if not good, at least passably good.

Many public libraries have classes on using the computer, and some of those classes are on specific subjects like Skype or how to make the most of your cell phone.

So, let prove to our grandchildren that we can be the "cool" grandparents and can meet them where they live, on their cellphones... next week, on to  Facebook.
