Apr. 8, 2008 - Computer time has returned.
My father-in-law gave the boys and older iMac, you know the ones that came in all different colors. This one is white though. Anyway, they are little and it works quite well for the games he loaded on there. Some are just for fun but most are preschool and kindergarten learning games.
They had the computer taken away for a while because the mouse had gotten broken somehow. I know it was accidental but I wasn't going to go out and buy a new one immediately. I found an unused mouse yesterday while cleaning out some things so they have their computer back.
Oh the joy! I had forgotten how annoying some of the music is in those games! But they have fun and actually learn quite a bit from them, not to mention how to use a computer. In this house it's a must. Daddy is Mr. Mac Guy as his dad before him so the tradition continues.
Dustin's aunt is supposed to be coming over today after lunch to learn how to use iDVD to create a video slide show of photos of her grandmother. That's right, my husband's great-grandmother, the boys' great-great-grandmother, is still with us. I love it. The generation(s) before us are so precious and time spent with them is priceless.
My great-uncle passed away last week. What a man of God he was. He lived it. He never just talked it. He was and will continue to be a great inspiration to all who knew him. He and his wife have greatly impacted countless lives by their example. His wife, daughter, and granddaughter are all glad he is out of pain but I know they are missing him so much.
It has me thinking about my grandparents who live so far away. How I wish I lived closer to my Nanny. I could learn so much from her! I enjoy her company so much and it makes me sad to think of all the time I miss with her. Why did they have to put South Carolina and Georgia between North Carolina and Alabama? :)
It makes me angry to see young people getting annoyed at older people. Where is the respect anymore? Have we forgotten the wisdom of the aged? Their life experience should count for a lot but instead they are shoved aside as if they are in the way. I won't rant any further on that. I feel pretty strongly about it and I could get very long winded.
