Isn't technology wonderful? Nick bought me my very first iPod. I'm so impressed that I am going to give whom ever it was that invented this a big kiss when I (or if) I get to heaven. This little gadget is amazing. I can listen to music, scriptures, general conference, books on tape, anything!! I was so impressed by it that Nick and I bought one for my mother. Now remember from earlier posts that she is 88 years old. She is not afraid of technology (or anything else for that matter, she is a very brave woman!). With the help of Spencer, we downloaded two Mormon Tabernacle CD's and one session of General Conference on hers. I got my trusty glue gun out, got it all heated up, and wahlaa, I put little hot glue dots that she can feel where she needs to push to start, stop, volume and the on/off button. She was quite excited about it. I showed her how to use it and she just loves it!! Now she doesn't have to carry her radio outside with her when she does her gardening. She just puts those little babies in her ears, clips it to her shirt and away she goes. Just for your information, when she opened it, all of our kids looked like we were crazy to give it to her--how would she be able to turn it on, work the volume, or skip a song? The moral of this story is, DON'T EVER UNDER ESTIMATE GRANDMA GREAT!! So, my mom and I are officially techies. I have finally reached my goal.

I'm impressed, I've yet to enter the Ipod stage...the kids have, I just haven't followed their lead.
Your Mom is awesome. And you and I are doing pretty well ourselves with this tech stuff. I was so proud of myself for getting a song on my ipod I had to take a nap. Hope to improve my stamina in this area soon.
I hate it when the kids use my computer. That was me on the previous post not Mike.
Yarn Queen--that's funny! My dorky husband likes to send people emails from me. . . .sigh. . .
And Miriam-- you must come show me how to use mine! I got one for Christmas, and I think all I've done is charge it! ha ha
I'm not very adventurous when it comes to technology. In fact, I'm amazed that I ever figured out blogging! :)
