Newbie

So, I'm new to the world wide blogosphere. I'm finding it fun, but I guess I'd have to say I'm dipping my toe in at the moment. Please bear with me as I get up to speed on the new technology.

I was thinking today of my great-grandmother and all the technological changes she lived through. She grew up on a farm and her childhood did not involve a phone, much less a cell phone, a tv and certainly not an ipod. She witnessed the explosion of air travel and watched men land on the moon. Things I take for granted now weren't part of her daily life. Transatlantic travel involved a ship and took a week. Letters were a big deal. I'm not sure what she would make of email and instant messaging or even the world wide web. But I know she'd been keen for people to use it. She was a fan of progress. She was happy to trade in her old iron for an electric one, as well as use an electric vacuum cleaner and other time saving household devices. I have her old hand beater and it is labor intensive to make whipped cream that way. I prefer my electric hand mixer and for heavy duty baking, my kitchen aid stand mixer.

So while I realize I may not have all the latest bells and whistles on my humble blog, I'm enjoying the journey and the exploration. Thanks for stopping by.
