I know it's not nice to make fun of older people's lack of computer skills, but I just have to share this one.

Mimi and I are going to NY for the Marathon, so I asked Uncle Tom for a list of emails of local relatives.

I asked because he regularly sends out emails to these folks, so I thought it would be an easy task.

First I get an email back saying that he's not computer adept so it'll take a while.

Then I get a call asking for my fax number (!)

Then I get the following email. He's written down everyone's address. Then scanned the page or took a picture of it. Then mailed it to me.

OMG.

I mean, c'mon. The kicker here is that I am 99+% sure he got the email addresses off his computer. And instead of copying and pasting into an email message body he goes this rube goldberg approach.

I am now officially scared of how the kids are going to make fun of me when I'm 75.

Liam got a new telescope from his book order from school. Magnification up to 50x. He spent an hour today looking through it at the nature in the backyard and making the observations below. Nobody asked him to. He just thought it would be fun. Oh. Yeah. And he's 7. [To be fair - I did correct some of his spelling errors!]

Pine bush log up close is orange from sunlight.

Tree’s leaves look like faces when looking through the holes in the openings.

When a bunch of leaves up close are moving in the wind, it looks like the leaves are joining together in the millions.

The colorful leaves look like a beautiful art picture.

Up close, leaves look like huge nuts in the grass.

Cuts in the big tree, make the tree look like a nice tan smooth piece of a log.

Branches look like big snakes slithering to the trees.

The leaves in the background make all the leaves swirl violently
