I am being dragged in the this 21st Century kicking and screaming! Sure I've been doing the computer thing for at least 15 years and I do have a cell phone, but I refuse to text via cell phone. For one thing, I'm almost 70 years old and my fingers don't move well on those damned tiny keys!

I am grateful my daughters cell phone takes great pictures because I get current pictures of my grandchildren many times a week. We live 800 miles apart and it makes it easier for me to endure not being with them. I never thought I could love anyone more than my daughter, but my grandchildren have begun to have at least as much meaning as my only child does.

I know am the proud owner of an Ipod and have have begun to learn how to navigate that mystery. I do not listen to music as it seems most people do. I record books on my Itunes program. I have absolutely NO LUCK downloading books via the computer. Something already goes very wrong and I'm out the money it cost so I just give up on that. I order the books I want on CD and copy from them to my Itunes.

I am currently hooked, no that's the wrong word, obsessed with the Twilight Saga, and I really don't understand it.

Perhaps my sub-conscious has tapped into a Twilight consciousness and pulled into it! I go to sleep at night with one of the series softly in my ears. I have a ringing in my ears all the time. A side product from terminal sinusitis. Having words droning keep the ringing away. I find I'm sleeping much better. Doing this is probably what's caused my being pulled into the Twilight World. Oh Well! At least I don't have night mares.

I told my daughter that I thought the actor playing the roll of Jacob was gorgeous and gave this ole woman something to think about <>. She was shocked. “Mother! You have a grandson the same age!” I told her all I wanted to do was look at him, not touch! See even old women have interesting thoughts!
