What an adventure it is!<br /><br />Karen, I'm hoping I'll be able to use skype here at Balcones, but it didn't work tonight. I have to use my trucker's antenna and amplifier for an internet connection here. I'm hoping when the fog lifts and the clouds move on that reception will improve. It is amazing, when it works.Travels with Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411769980205792011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-26760704809022944352010-02-02T09:57:19.125-06:002010-02-02T09:57:19.125-06:00My son is in the Air Force and spent 2 years in Gu...My son is in the Air Force and spent 2 years in Guam and 7 years in England. We had this same kind of set up to talk and see each other. My grandson was always happy to "see" me. <br /><br />I remember one time when he was 7, his birthday was coming up and I asked him what he wanted for his birthday. He started telling me he wanted some crystals. I had no idea exactly what he was talking about, so he said, "Wait a minute, Granny" and ran away from the camera. He came back with a book about gems and minerals and showed me some crystals in the book. <br /><br />So I said, "wait a minute" and went and got some crystals I had. His eyes lit up! I was always amazed at the fact that I could be sitting in my RV in who knows where, and he could in England, and we could see and talk to each other so easily.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731276173410889180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-8229798403568631302010-02-02T08:28:30.932-06:002010-02-02T08:28:30.932-06:00My neice turned my wife and I onto skype,she is re...My neice turned my wife and I onto skype,she is really a computer genius and lives near Gulfport Ms, Donna & I are in Dardenne Praire MO, anyway I sent off on e-bay for a webcam for $11.99, microphone and all and it took two minutes for the computer to find it after I plugged it in, we both were like you, amazed at technology,remenber Dick Tracy's wrist radio.
