Twitter

I finally have a Twitter account (www.twitter.com/LA32). I've heard people talk about it and wasn't sure if I really wanted to join. Well after hearing Ellen DeGeneres talk about it on her show, I said what the heck.

My son's computer teacher had her students sign up for accounts and they use them all the time. So I asked my son if he liked it, and he said yes. After I joined, I became a follower of my son & his computer teacher. That great computer teacher helped me find more to follow and now I have a lot of others following me.

It has become one of the two sites that I constantly check.

I have learned that it's a great place to find information of all kinds.

Family Visit

Towards the end of our February school vacation, the California family came to the East Coast for a visit. It was a great time. Tracey, Matt, John, Dylan, Jackson, Logan & Tommy all arrived on a Thursday afternoon. They were supposed to be at Manchester Airport at 10:25 AM. Well, due to delays in DC, they arrived at 1:50 PM.
The morning started with mom and I driving to Manchester in the snow. It usually takes about 1.5 hrs-2hrs. This time it took 2.5 hrs to get to the airport. I drove 40 mph most of the way on the interstate.
Mom & I wasted time by walking around the airport and going to the Manchester Mall. Mom had never experienced that mall before.
Anyways, once they arrived, back north we went.
It was a busy week, but it was worth it. We went to Cannon Mtn to go skiing/snowboarding, we celebrated Logan & Matt's birthdays, Kyle also had two basketball games that we all attended. Another day of skiing/snowboarding at Whaleback and a trip to Burton Snowboard in Burlington, VT on a snowday for Kyle & I.
When Kyle & I went back to school, the CA crew went to Cannon again. This time Uncle Bo came up and went with them.
I'm glad they came. Everyone had a great time!
