Well today I woke up early and had this great plan of compleating the homeowrk that I am still behind in when I notice that my family is on skype. So exciting. I don't get to talk to them very often because of the 9 hour time difference. Kelly just got home from school it is (5pm in Italy) and is starting to get things out for dinner when John ( My brother who is deployed gets on skpye!) This is great we can have a conference call with the three of us for free when we are all on different continents. John is two hours a head of Italy so it is 7 pm there. So here we have a three way conversation, at three different times, at three different continents. It is great.
Mom and Steve soon get home ( in Italy) so now there are 5 Omodts talking.
Oh how I miss the business and chaos of a big family. I love having four different conversations at the dinner table and being able to follow each one. This was almost like it, but I was sipping my morning coffee instead of eating dinner. We talked for over an hour! It is amazing how much you can say to each other.
So I want to Thank the person who came up with Skype. For I would never be able to afford a call overseas for a minute let alone for an hour. So thank you for connecting me to my family.
That is too cool. It makes one wonder what people did before computers and cell phones. How could they stand the time between meetings. I am glad that you were able to connect with your family today.
