Mother has decided that she is going to make an honest effort to learn how to use her new laptop computer. I told her that I would help her.

This morning, she came to me in my office, carrying a bag of dried figs we bought at the Costco, wanting to visit the company's web site to get some recipes for the figs. She says they are "too dry and tough" to just eat out of the bag.

Mother has been resistant, so far, to learning how to use her computer and the internet, but this recent "need to know" may be the motivator she needs in order to drag her (kicking and screaming) into the 21st Century!!!

I have told her that, at nearly 90 years old, she should be smarter than a 2nd grader, as they are teaching kids this age to use a computer. Mother, with her Master's degree in Education, should be able to catch right on to it!!!

Rock on, Mother!!!
