"You want me to talk to the class about my summer vacation? HELLO people.....didn't you read my blog.?"
"Go to your room and when your ready to say your sorry, you can text me."

Oh the Good Ole Days, before computers and blogging and texting. When you actually stepped out of the house to visit with your neighbor over the back fence.
When you sat down and actually wrote to friends and family and it wasn't email.

We have lost the art of good old fashion communication. When my boyfriend, now my husband, was in the Navy, eons and eons ago, how i remember watching for the mailman daily. I could hardly wait for the mail truck to go by our house and I went running with great expectation! I would open the letter oh so carefully because he had written on the backside of the envelope SWAK! Now for you youngsters, that meant "sealed with a kiss! " You can't do that with a computer email now can you! I would read and reread the letter hanging on to each of his words. Then I would go into the house and hide it so my brothers would not read it. Oh the Good Ole Days!
