I was thinking – the Cell phone (Cell Camera) helps us feel like family – even though we are often hundreds of miles apart now days. Not like when I grew up.  I was born and lived my first 20 years in the foreground farm – my GrandParents lived in the farm in the upper left – Two of my aunts and uncles lived in two houses on the farm not shown – just that far to the right. They all taught me in one grade or another throughout my 12 years of public school. Cell phone not needed – we were there!

The special staff member, our grand daughter – I think she is saying “Oh Mother, you embarrass me” – with the cell phone photo – we were there

Our famous actress Grand daughter – with the phone photo – “we were there”

Our Grandson’s winning pitch – with the phone photo – “we were there”

Dyna the dog got a real friend – Our Grandson is a computer game wiz and guess who he takes a break with – Dyna – to me this is a picture of true enjoyment – with the cell phone photo – we were there

Vacations to an East Coast Island are happy family times – You can tell by this smile – with the cell phone photo – we were there

In the “old days”, If someone got a new car we did not need a cell phone photo – we were there

In the Old Days” – If someone got a new home we did not need a cell phone photo – we were there

In the “old days”, If someone got a good dog we did not need a cell phone photo – we were there

In the “old days” – If someone had a bad dog we did not need a cell phone photo – we were there

“To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.”
