Staying in touch

This guest post from Werner Rogers

I love that we decided to wildblue satellite internet. I live in Iowa, far away from my family in Florida. I try to stay in touch with my close family members on the phone everyday, but for those family members that I don’t talk to so often, I have enjoyed getting to e-mail them. I reached out to my first cousin that lives in Hawaii. We e-mail about twice a week. I think that I am even going to get to visit her soon. I also like getting pictures of my nieces and nephews on-line that I usually had to wait weeks to get hard copies. I feel like I am in better touch with my brothers and sisters now and know what is going on in everyone’s lives. Being so far away from my family, I often feel left out and don’t know what is going on with everyone day to day. Now e-mailing and following my sister’s blog spot helps to keep me in the loop. I wish we had gotten satellite internet sooner.
