I want to update you about how contact with the East Coast relatives is going. Hearing from Cousin Lisa today, she sent me an e-mail that said: “We are all fine. Just gave us a good shake. Lol!”
I’m glad she responded….But, I still haven’t heard from my Mom yet. I gave up trying to call and finally sent her an e-mail but I doubt that she has even turned on her computer in the last 24 hours….She’s probably outside pulling weeds out of her massive garden and just hasn’t got around to it yet.
As you can tell, getting my mother to communicate with me has been an ongoing problem. She has so many children and grandchildren, brothers and sisters that live around her that her one child that lives on the other side of the United States just doesn’t get connected very often.
O.k., I definitely get a Birthday and Christmas card from her eve
ry year. And that use to be as much contact that a person of my generation could hope for. But with the invention of the computer and face book…the lack of contact is beginning to feel like the silent treatment. I’m sure that’s not what is happening here. While I live near my computer she rarely turns her’s on. She enjoys sights and smells of the earth that I rarely notice anymore. I’m sure she’ll call.
Hopefully Cousin Lisa will let her know I’m worried….and within a month or so she’ll call and wonder what I am fretting about!
