Having Eden with me this weekend has as usual been a lot of fun and also an education. She has very patiently tried to show me the intricacies of saving photos from my digital camera on to the lap top and then to disc. I had not realised that some of the pictures I had taken were from 2007 and some before that too. We only realised this when they were on the computer and we were looking at them because the pictures of all three grand-children showed them much younger than now and it took some time to work out when I took them.
It is always fun to look at photos from the recent past as well as those from further back, especially those of children because we forget how quickly they grow and change. Even Eden looked totally different although I see her every fortnight, she always seems to be a bit taller when she comes down too, or maybe it's me that's shrinking!
I have often told her about a fairy story book with fables and tales from the middle east and India that belonged to my mother, that I read over and over again when I was about her age. Some of the pages were missing because it was from the 1920's and obviously I couldn't read some of the stories all the way through so didn't know how several of them ended. She showed me how to look on the internet and although I did not know the name of the author, we actually found the book and it is still possible to buy it! I think I know what I will be getting for Mother's Day and even if I don't, I will buy one myself and then I can read it to her so that we can both enjoy the tales together.
