VideoCam Computer Calling

I feel like I've just had a breakthrough; I feel like I've just walked on the moon! Okay, I've only just discovered how to use the videocam on my laptop to make video calls to my dear sister and all others who may be in the room at the time---yipppee!!!!

Okay, you might think, why does she think this is such a big deal? Well, the thing is that I only get to SEE my relatives every so often since they live in Northern California and we live down in Southern California. Sure we do a lot of talking on the phone since we got our friends and family cell phone plans, but this is much better, I think... It's so great to see everybody's face and smile and especially see how the little ones are growing and starting to talk. I'm so jazzed!!! Someday, I'm sure I'll look back and laugh probably like the people who first drove the Model T and couldn't believe they were riding around in a horseless carriage.

Well, if this type of phone catches on, I guess the days would be gone that I could talk on the phone in any type of dress or undress... and any old wild type of hairdo! Typically around the house when the weather goes over 80 I usually wear a bathing suit and/or a sarong since I don't like to use the air conditioner and it makes me feel like I live near the beach, even though it is 25 miles away.

We're pretty casual around here, we love to eat our meals outside in our little courtyard, and let the breezes blow though the open doors and windows--natural air conditioning--and turn on the misters if it gets unbareably hot... I like to have a theme for our home, so right now anyway, I call it our "Sea Cottage". I could even "do a tour" with the videocam for anyone who hasn't had a chance to visit lately or ever since we live so far away... eh, well, we won't go in the back room though; not a pretty sight! Well, I can't wait to make my next video call, yahoooo!!!
