Oct to Lynne and Kate


Lynne's was done with the white ink that never dries - although hers did get a lot better after I left it on my desk for a while. I had done Kate's - same ink - same day - and it did not get better - so I layered it with some non-stick paper and put it in a second envelope. As I recall - there is also a Mary Engelbreit greeting card inside. I'm not doing very well at getting my stash of cards out the door.

Chapter 2 of my whining about child rearing. 
It occurs to me that it has nothing to do with kids - it's all about the incremental shift in everything that we learn when we are kids. By the time we are adults and raising kids - all the things we learned have changed. OK - that's an overstatement. A few things are the same - but not enough for us to have any idea what's going on. 

During a conversation with my grandson - something came up about chalk - and I asked him if they even used chalkboards at school. He said he knew that the white boards and smart boards were covering up the old chalk boards. Smart boards? I can only imagine what they are. Sounds like Big Brother to me....from the book 1984 - I wonder if anyone reads that book any more. Maybe they should reissue it with a new title: 2084.
