Amazing technology!

Michelle and Masachi are now living in Japan, but they have had trouble getting television reception. So they purchased a Slingbox and had us put it on our TV down stairs. Bruce then gave Michelle a long number to put in her computer. She called us 2 minutes later to say she was watching KSL news on her computer! The reception goes from the cable box on the TV, to our computer to her computer. So now thay can watch TV on their computer. However when we are watching evening news here it is early in the morning there. She wanted to buy a DVR to put on our TV so she could record shows and watch them at better times. Someone at BEST Buy told us she could do that on Media Play on the computer! We enjoy visiting with them using the Web Cam on our computers. It has made it seem that they are not so far away.Cell phones are also amazing. I talk to Melisa most every morning. Communication sure itsn't like it used to be.

Love the changing seasons

I love the changing of the seasons. Spring has so much symbolism. It reminds me of how life is and the opportunities we have. I think of the Atonement and the new life it offers us. I love to see the flowers come to life again after the long winter of rest. I enjoy summer and watching the garden grow and anticipation all the wonder produce that will come. I love sitting on our patio with the misters on and the warm summer evenings. Now we are in Autumn. The temperatures are so pleasant now. I love all the fresh produce we are enjoying, especially the tomatoes and the herbs. Wayne and Kris have kept us in peaches and now the apples are coming on. We can open our windows now, and enjoy the cooler nights. We don't have to use the air conditioning much, and don't need the furnace on yet. That saves on the pocket book. The only thing about Fall I don't like is that I know what comes next. I don't like being cold. But soon we will be getting ready for the Holidays and all that goes with them. I love sitting by the fire in winter and watching all the new shows. Unfortunately I watch way too much TV. I need to read more books this winter. Come along February I'm anxious to get back outside, so I start with all the garden catalogs and dream of Spring coming. Seems like the winter goes the slowest of the seasons. But before we know it, it will be Spring again. I always thought Summer was my favorite season, but I've decided Fall is. When I think about it, every season has its pros and cons. What is your favorite season?
