My Christmas was Joyful

I live in Port Orford, Oregon and I have adult children and grand children living in San Diego, Temecula, & San Jose CA as well as Reno, NV.

All of you Grandparents will understand when I say that we don't see them nearly often enough.

It was 24 December when what to my wondering eyes did appear was a Logitech webcam with microphone gear. It came with a Merry Christmas wish from my son and his wife. The kids were way ahead of me on this one and I realize as I write this that I seem to be saying that more and more frequently. I had participated in Skype video calls from the sidelines but never justified the need to own such equipment. It was clearly an oversight on my part.

I hooked it up and tested it out on Christmas Eve thinking how great it would be to see the kids and grandkids on Christmas. Again, I under estimated the full impact.

When we connected with the 3 families that had this or similar gear it truly was the next best thing to being there. We could see everyone, talk to everyone, and we could share the grandkids joy as they showed us their presents. And our youngest grand daughter who is only 7 months old was a joy to behold as her dad feed her and played with her.

My wife and I will be outfitting the 4^th family with this gear and then we can all be connected through the Skype network.

That's all for now, I wish you a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year.

P. S. I'm sure there will be business uses for this technology but I can't think about that today. Maybe some of you could tell me how you have used it in your businesses.
