“Hey, Bubbe, look what I made” he excitedly exclaims as he holds up one lego creation after another to show me. We laugh. He tells me jokes . . . 8-year-old-boy jokes. He makes funny faces and we talk about going to the movies together. Last time I was there we went to see “Puss and Boots.” Without warning he asks “When are you coming again? Can you come here real soon?” I wince. I want to fly through cyberspace right now and be with him. “Soon, Jake. Soon” Ah, the wonder of FaceTime, a computer application that allows us to talk face-to-face in real time! “I love you Jacob” and I love being your Bubbe.

Cool. I use Skype a lot, but have never tried “FaceTime.”
Hugs,

FaceTime is new to me, but since the kids have it, I got it. It is simple to use, and to have a “face-to-face” conversation with my grandkids, why nothing is better than that! I have skype, too, but my family does not.
Thanks for stopping in.
Hugs back,

Yes, and I’m sure we’ll have many more. And with Genevieve, too, my son’s daughter. Being a grandmother is the greatest.
