Week 8 # 19

I was able to get an account under Zoho. I prepared a document about Thanksgiving and posted it to my blog. It was easy to understand and to play around with.

Week 8 # 19

Thanksgiving at My House


Thanksgiving is a very special holiday at my house. My family every year sit at the table after breakfast and makes a list of things we are thankful for this year. My boys enjoy this part of the holiday every year. It's amazing how things change every year. When they were little they were thankful for the pet, their friends and their family. They were thankful for McDonalds, Burger King, etc. As they gotten older, they have a much bigger list. Now they're thankful for their mom and dad, grandparents and their aunt and uncles. They are thankful for their mom staying home and home-schooling them every year. They are thankful that dad has a good job and enjoys what he does. They are thankful they live in America and are able to go to church. THey are thankful we can pray together and read the BIble together. They are thankful for their salvation and the faith in God. We enjoy our time together as a family and especially all the good food. This year will be a little different because things have changed for us. I used to do the cooking and have my in-laws over for the day. Now my mother-in-law has passed and everyone has kind of gone their own way. We're headed for my sister's house this year to join her family along with my mom and dad. I'm looking forward to doing something a little different.

Week 8 # 18

I was able to find my son on My Space. I knew he had an account, it was really neat finding him and his friends. I liked this one. The other one I enjoyed was "Rate my Space". My husband and I both enjoy watching the home and gardening channel. I'm signing up for this one.

Week 7 # 17

Technology has come so far! I'm glad we're advancing, but I do have a problem with the Video game systems. They come out with new systems and new games before you can turn around good. The new system cost too much money along with the new games. I feel they should develop new games for the old systems as well. My son has a game system that is only a few years old and they have stopped making games for this system. I just think this is a racquet!!! They either need to come down on the prices of these new game systems or continue making games for the older system. I realize this is progress, but I still think something should be done concerning the Game System Industry.

Week 7 #16

I enjoyed working with the wiki. It was really easy to understand. I think I could really enjoy discussing different topics. The library in my opinion could use a Wiki to start a book club. Instead of coming to the library once a month for a discussion, start one on line. I think this would be a big hit!
