"Quality of life"......a gift that just keeps on giving.

Oh, @joybringer1, From Luddite 2 to Luddite 1, vbg, Like you, I like to take photos with my reliable "point and shoot camera" and also like you, (and much like preferring to hold "real books" rather reading online), I appreciate having the tactile pleasure of holding photos and sharing them with others. Although my new "smart phone" certainly has photo capability, we are still on very uncertain terms in my ability or desire to capitalize on its features. I may never succeed in learning to "upload" photos to share.

Another shared trait is still resorting to written notes of appreciation and news. Only takes a minute and a couple of sentences to let another we are thinking of them. Just mailed notes to both my computer "magic man" for installing a new webcam and then following up with a phone call to see how the dreaded Zoom visit with doc went and then a note of appreciation to the doc for offering, unasked, to put me on the virus vacc list. Now, I can both be seen and heard on Zoom and have started building my own antibodies thanks to the 1st Moderna vacc.

I appreciate that my daughter has taught the grands to dash off a thank you note for gifts as well. One yr, I couldn't tell, until reaching the signatures, which of the grands had printed their notes...one 8 yrs; another 13 yrs and the oldest a college graduate...lol My handwriting isn't stellar either, but it was truly funny to realize they faced similar penmanship challenges! The thought that counts, though, right? Smiles to you and all!

@fiesty76, You do understand my fondness for a film camera. I just dropped off a roll and it will be 2-3 weeks before they are returned. I think hand-written notes mean as much to me as they do to the person who receives them. I will have to be motivated soon to begin using my lovely notecards. I must say you are progressing faster than I can. I do not have a smart phone and do not think I could manage one. My little flip phone works well for me. I have no idea how to "zoom." I would need someone to come and show me and I don't think now is the time. Be careful so you don't lose your Luddite status. Ha-ha! Good for you for learning new things. This will help your little grey cells. Do the schools teach cursive writing now?
Take care and stay well! @joybringer1
