Spring Ramblings and Techno-phobias

Who has time to blog when the weather is absolutely gorgeous? I am LOVING it! Jules is outside every day, sitting in a pile of mulch and dirt and poking it with a twig with great satisfaction. She's an absolute disaster but, hey, who cares! I am so glad I bought six tank tops with matching shorts from Walmart for Jules last summer ($1.00 each)! She is already using them and since they were only a dollar each, I don't care if they get filthy. Anyway, I had a fabulous weekend with the family. Dor and John were down for the weekend as well as Vince and Petra (who stayed at Lora's house). On Saturday we went to Van Saun Park (it was FREE day - we didn't know it was until we got there - our dutch instinct must have been pulling us toward it). Juliet and all the kids had a ton of fun on the train and on the merry-go-round. I can't wait till Mike downloads all the pictures (yeah, haven't quite figured that out yet. I know how to download onto my computer, but I don't know how to delete them off of the camera. It doesn't help that we have THREE cameras and they all work a little differently. Isn't that a good excuse? Anyway, I'm too nervous to delete them because I know I'll do something wrong and Mike will be saying the next time he picks up the camera, "What did you DO to the camera???" And then I will feel like I'm ten years old again and getting a lecture from my dad. So I'll just let him do it. Have I ever told you that I have this thing called techno-phobia? When someone first mentioned the word "blog" to me in a conversation, I remember feeling a slight sinking feeling in my stomach for I had no idea what a blog was and had absolutely no interest! When someone explained it to me, I had no idea what they were talking about and it was only recently that I checked out my sister's blog and knew what it was all about. But if I am blogging, there is hope for other technophobics. Hey, I even get the gist of what twittering is about. Which, in my opinion, is the silliest waste of time and a big ego booster for whoever is twittering. Honestly, do I really want to know what you ate for dinner and where you are every hour? Sure hope no one I know twitters or next blog you will see me backpeddaling like ninety.
