Things have changed...

Things have changed so much. I'll explain in a minute.

Good friends of Miss K moved last year. All the way to South Carolina. She has missed them soooooo much. They were back in Nebraska a couple weeks ago. (Yes, I know, I'm slow ☺) They did manage to come to VBS for one morning while they were here. Miss K got to see them for a very short time.

(Thanx to Sandy for the great pics!)

Back to things changing. One of my best friends moved our freshman year (or maybe eighth grade). Back to Pennsylvania. Back before computers and email. Back before cell phones. Back before unlimited long distance. Back in the stone ages where people wrote letters... or they didn't. We wrote off and on (ok, more off!). And I was fortunate to be able to go see her the summer after my sophomore year. And then a few more letters and Christmas cards each year for almost 25 years. And then suddenly, no more letters.... she moved. And no more contact. (Yes, I know in this day and age, I could probably find her. It's just that it seemed it was time to end... you know?)

The difference? Miss K and the three J-boys set "play dates". Some how, with all this technology, they each get on their video game.... the J-boys in South Carolina and Miss K in Nebraska... and they play against each other through the magic of the internet. (Personally, I think that sentence should have been: they play against each other through magic!)

Cell phones and unlimited long distance means she can talk with them ... and with their Mom. Miss K misses her too!

And for me? Have you heard of Sk.ype? Wonderful tool!!! It means we can call Chad and Ryssa on the computer. They're in Arizona and we're here in Nebraska. We can see them while we talk! It's wonderful! (Wish we had known about it at Christmas!) That's like magic too!

All of these things making it not quite so bad having family and friends so far away!

Have a great week!
