I See You

Today I was able to have coffee with my Mom. Sure, it was over the phone, but this time I could actually see her via my computer screen. I actually got a little misty having her in right in front of me and it's all thanks to Skype.
You would think after all the years of living a part that we would have gotten on board with the whole webcam thing bad sadly it took someone pointing out the obvious to me a few weekends ago to make me realize that was something we could actually do. Thankfully, my Mac has one built right in and my Dad just so happened to have a webcam lying around his office. Finally, we put them both to use and the result is pretty darn cool.
It opens the door to so many possibilities, i.e. being able to show her a room or two in our house and my new glasses. It's a great feeling and all for free! Can't beat that.

Wow, you are a Skype-r. I have wondered about it since I am an Oprah devotee and she seems to swear by it on the show.

That's great that you've found another way to stay connected with the folks in AZ!

Dear Jackie,
I wish we had known about this sooner because I totally agree, I am so glad we can "see" each other via skyping anytime we want to! See you and your little face for coffee again SOON!
