Web Chat

My friend Doug, a vlogger in Rhode Island, helped me test out my new webcam for conferencing. It works! Yippee! We used AOL's instant messaging.

I haven't tested out ease of use on Yahoo Messenger yet.

But everyone tells me that Skype is the best way to message using a web cam, so I downloaded Skype (again--I'd had it before), set it up and tried to contact my friend diane [sic] in England. We could text message, but couldn't get the video going, so she suggested trying AIM and that was successful. What fun!

Laurel is only a few weeks away from delivering, and things are falling into place for Project Grandbaby. Now that's better than some expensive Valentine's gift any day!
