Thing 7

Yes, I am doing the tasks out of order - Gasp! I was all set to try Flickr, but I can't remember our library's password for the internet filter. So I can go directly to some pictures there, but can't browse around. There is hope for me - I do know next month's password, so will try then.

In the meantime - this post is to be about anything technology related! Although I do find it ironic that I wanted to do something technology related, but our computer system foiled that!

For the most part, I really enjoy the internet. I like being able to shop from home - even though I live in a city. I don't enjoy going to a store and trying to figure out where something might be. Drives me nuts. I want to find what I want and buy it. Amazon is great for this! I just type in what I think it might be and usually I do find what I am looking for! Love it. However I don't get the whole connecting, socialization thing. It is not for me. I understand why people like it and want to, but hell I don't even turn on my cell phone! I am still in the age where you kept everything private.

Now it is good for me to learn. I have two kids who will probably be very into it. I want to know what they could get into! Nothing like panic to keep you on your toes.

The picture is my husband, Scott and our kids Talia and Ryan. This is from last year up on Lake Michigan just after a storm came through. It just blew the soft dry sand completely off the harder packed damp sand. You can still see it blowing.

And for the final plea from our Thing 7 moderator: I did look around at a few other CMLer's blogs. I liked that several always started with a picture, so I am going to try that as well.
