My family is nuts and I love it!

I started out my day today by going out to lunch with Granny and my great-aunt, Jo Ann. I haven't seen either of them for awhile, so it was nice to catch up with them and see what they've been up to. My main reason for going to lunch with them was because Granny needed me to teach her and Jo Ann how to use the internet.

They've had their laptop for awhile. It's been sitting their pretty much useless for about 2 months. My dad went over there last month to show them how to use it, but he pretty much did everything and there were other people over, so their minds were elsewhere. I was excited. I knew this was going to be a trip. Not because they don't know what the heck they're doing, but because I knew once they figured it out, they would be so excited, especially Granny.

We signed on to the computer. Task number 1 down. Granny opened the internet by herself. We can check number 2 of the list. No came the hard part. When she logged into her e-mail, she had one from my aunt waiting for her. She read it and it was fine. I showed her how to add addresses into her address book and how to reply and send an e-mail. She did a lot better than I thought she was going to. I also showed her how to use Google and how to go to different websites. It was really cute how excited they got. I also showed them how to play a CD in their computer.

They also got a free MP3 player. They have NO idea what it is supposed to do. They asked if I wanted it and I said I had one already, but thanks. I think next time I will show them how to put their CDs on their computer and then onto the MP3 player. Maybe I will ever get ambitious and tell them they can play it in the car.

I told them every week I can go over there and show them something different. One step at a time. I think next lesson may be Facebook. Granny wants to get onto Facebook, so I can help her with that. That's going to be interesting. I can't wait to see what she has to say about that. It will be good for her though. As long as her sister-in-law doesn't friend her. haha!!
