My Role Model and her new iMac

Good Morning, God!

Thank YOU for my marvelous mother! For some time she has been telling me her computer was dying. But, I kept thinking it was just a power surge that had turned it off and turned it on again. However, she was right! Her 8 year old iMac was dead.

So yesterday I rushed off to the Kahala Apple store and got her a NEW iMac. As she said in an email “I must be crazy but at the age of 96 I bought a new computer!!! The one Barba gave me finally died…dead as a doornail. And I felt absolutely lost without one!!!”

I told the young man at the Apple Store who I was buying it for and he was so envious! He said his grandmother wouldn’t even consider a computer! I bet his grandmother was a lot younger than my mom!

Too bad they can’t use Mom in Apple ads, She’d be a great poster girl!

She and her cat have a lot of CURIOSITY! Yesterday, as I was unpacking the box and preparing Mom’s desk, her cat kept staring at me — as if demanding an explanation. When I finally stopped and talked to her — telling her what was going on — she stopped staring at me and began to explore the empty box.

Am I anthropomorphizing, God? I think, not!

I — like my mother — have read a lot of science fiction. There is far more going on in this Universe than we can imagine. I love it, God! There is so much to learn, to see, and to ponder! Thank YOU! And please help me do the HARD WORK of learning!
