Technology is strange and wonderful. At the present moment the woman in this picture is in Africa and the man is in Minnesota. This was our farewell get together. Now, she can look at the picture via the internet and remember the day, and we can do the same. A wonderful type of connection which can occur so quickly. Years ago when we were in Brazil, the connections with home were tenuous at best. A long awaited letter with news that was long out of date. Or a phone call by radio phone that was garbled but wonderful. Just to hear a beloved voice was great. Now we have cell phones and the internet. Makes the long distances more bearable. We were gone for five years althogether.
Oh, well, she isn't gone for years, only a few months. But I am lonesome today! Hats off, dear daughter. I would love an actual hug, but soon it will be possible in actuality. Take care and have a good Saturday! Hopefully the rest of the week will be good, too!
I will be sitting at our local art gallery today. There is a wonderful display of the art of Phyllis Joos (pronounced Joe ss). 10 to 2. Stop in to view the art and chat with me! I look forward to it. Our gallery is fantabulous. OK, Karen l, is that a made up word or not? Hmmmm?

Even if it is a made up word-it works and everyone understands the magnitude of the attitude with that word. It is so great that you can keep in contact with Naomi while she is miles away. My daughter is only 80 miles away at the most and there are moments when I have to call her on the cell phone and tell her something that just can't wait for a few days or more.
