Happy New Year Family and Friends Dec.31, 2010 AD

This page is dedicated to our son Bradford.   I'm the reason(at least in part) he's here and he's the reason I'm here (doing this blog entry).   During his vacation break from studies,  for several precious hours, Brad tutored me through the blog creation process. This was no small feat.   He made sure I learned how to start and continue a blog. (I think the real test comes when all by myself I try to post some more images-yikes!). The best part (beside spending time with him)  was to observe how Brad taught me. .  Not only did he convey the information clearly (in several different ways sometimes), but also with much patience he made sure that I understood and could perform a task myself..  He made me try to figure things out based upon what I had already learned and from what I could deduce from the information in front of me.    I left the computer feeling confident in my ability to learn.  The best teachers are those who convey to their students that  they are valuable  and capable of mastering the information.   It  is a grand act of love.   Perhaps teaching is one of your gifts,   Thanks Brad, you've done me a greater service than you realize and of course, as always, I  LOVE YOU-let the whole, wide, web- world know!!!
