Blogging Once Again

 I thought I would give blogging a shot and after taking a class this last summer, and learning a few tricks.  So far I have written about four or five blog posts but upon reading them decided to delete them and start over.  I don't want my blog to be a gripe session or to say things that I would regret later or would possibly hurt or embarrass myself, other people especially family members.  Also I don't want my blog to be a brag fest, no one wants to read about somebody's perfect life and then to wonder if theirs is normal..  I have read a few blogs and the ones I like to read are reflections of peoples lives that I can connect to in some way. So that is what I will try to do.

I got an iPhone for my birthday and its probably more phone than I need or will ever need.  Thankfully my son Tyler is patient and is teaching me what it can do with this phone and how to make it a useful tool.  Today he taught me to download updates,  we took pictures of some things that I want to sell on ebay. We got my ebay seller account set up and hopefully we are up and running.   Tyler  has the heart of a teacher where it comes to technology.   Kids (this kid is actually 24 years old) know how to use technology and are not afraid or timid in using it.  With me it is not second nature, I'm great with keyboarding skills, but they don't necessarily carry over to texting or computer tech stuff.  

So I set up a facebook account, I have websites for my students to use,  I email and try to keep up with all the new technology, but I long for the times when I could just pick up the phone and call someone, and they would actually answer because they weren't looking at caller ID and screening all of their calls.  Or better yet go over to their house or have them come here for a nice visit.
