A friend of mine has a grandson who was two in November. <br />She was telling us about how fun it is to watch him use the phone by himself to go to Netflix, choose a show, swipe it away if he didn't like it, and choose another! <br />What kind of people will these be, when they start the tech stuff so young??? <br />A completely foreign world from the one we grew up in!!! <br />RunNRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610154229648677906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-41210135976254774682019-01-29T19:55:19.596-05:002019-01-29T19:55:19.596-05:00The news for the US this evening had the alert abo...The news for the US this evening had the alert about the danger of gas lines freezing.

Absolutely hard to stay warm in the temps you will be having, but do try to. We were watching the grand kids the other day. Granddaughter got a telephone call, she went into another room here and closed the door. I heard lots of giggling going on. She was on the phone for about 2-1/2 hours. Her mom was flying home from some place so when she had landed and was waiting for her next connection, I text her and said granddaughter was on phone for at that time about an hour and a half and was that okay? She said yes because she was chatting with her friends on SnapChat. Maybe I'll have to have a talk with DIL not in granddaughter's presence to make sure she's keeping track of what she's doing on her phone. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-26111891566545944102019-01-28T21:38:34.463-05:002019-01-28T21:38:34.463-05:00You reminded me...I forgot to stop and fill up my ...You reminded me...I forgot to stop and fill up my half empty tank.
