- Unloaded seven large, hard-to-store, styrofoam ice chests (for free on Craigslist)
- Met a cousin or two that I didn't know existed
- Learned that it is not possible for my plain 'ol refrigerator to make clear ice cubes (you have to have distilled or boiled water - go figure)
- Submitted forms for a product rebate (no stamps!)
- Figured out how to convert kilograms to pounds (I'm lousy at math)
This doesn't even cover all the genealogical goodies I've uncovered with a little clever digging...and the old friends I've reconnected with, the college courses I've researched, and the episodes of my favorite shows I've caught up on 'cuz I missed them first time around.
Sure, the internet can be a bad place where evil people do icky things...but it can also be a useful tool, if you use it right!
Yeah... tis a good thing.... like when one connects with good friends and old neighbors! And is a way for us to keep in touch in this way too fast moving world. It makes the world a smaller place and distance is irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeannie. I am enjoying your blog. Have I told you lately how much I miss your brother and am glad you are in my life? Well... consider it said.
Thank you! Barely a day goes by that I don't think of Ralph, and now my dad.
ReplyDeleteIn the day-to-day of everything, we don't often realize the importance of the little memories we create. Sometimes, though, those are the only things we have to hang onto when someone is gone.
