Of Skyping and Graveyards


   During the month of July, my dad traveled back to his home state of Pennsylvania to visit his family and to drag them kicking and screaming through old graveyards for his genealogical interests. I'm a little jealous that he got to see my extended family, whom I haven't seen in three years, and got to walk through old cemeteries. I have a slightly dark fascination (we'll call it grey) with old cemeteries. Then again, maybe I am just a nosy busybody who likes to figure out how the deceased tragically died.

   During his trip, my dad conquered his lack of technological skills and set up Skype on his laptop so that my grandparents could see my boys, talk to them, and watch one of them melt down in fits of rage because I told one of them that he couldn't hit the computer or tv screen.
They loved seeing their Great Grandsons. 
I loved seeing my Grandparents and Aunt.
The boys loved watching their  faces on the little picture in the corner of the screen. 
Fun was had by all!


Trying to find Great Grandpa and Great Grandma through the glare.

Grandpa fixing the problem. If you notice the scowl on the cute little face in the corner, you can tell who was throwing the fit!

My Grandparents and Aunt Nance. Why yes, that is a picture of an anime character holding a gun to the camera. It's Tim's computer. Don't ask.
