Good work day and good evening - tired now but happily tired. I got most of the weeds out of the garden in preparation for planting this weekend. Drizzly rain made the soil easier to work - and I hope we are moving out of drought. I've mostly put away the beautiful clothes Ruth handed down to me and wore a yellow and peach outfit of hers/mine today that made me smile.
I had an interesting conversation today with a younger therapist friend who says that her teen age clients seem to have a whole different culture around electronic communication. Now I'm sitting here on my blog - obviously a lover of electronic communication - but some of what she said was odd to me - cell phones always on, including at the table at meals, constant IM's, a "rule" that if you don't respond to a text message in fifteen minutes you are ignoring the sender - not good manners. She says some young people communicate mostly by text, more than in real life.
I'm very much aware I have a twentieth century mind.

Wow Victoria, I am way behind on your blog and it was so nice to read and catch up again with your world. Busy, busy, busy--no time for boredom there! I love hearing about the babies and your connections with friends and family. How lucky the world is to have you in it. Enjoy!
Interesting indeed about electronic communication. One thing I haven't got into is 'texting.' I know so many people are into that. One thing surprised me at church the other week. A young person was texting during the service. I can't imagine what was so important that could not have waited an hour! I do think communication has so much changed in the past decade or so. It has its advantages and disadvantages, I think. 50% of each, as I see it.
