It just never worked out. She wasn't afraid of it, she just couldn't get the hang of it. I gave up. <br /><br />NatureFootsept - Sometimes I wonder. If I use my iPad in bed to play a game, he gets right in front of it demanding attention. Funny guy.<br /><br />Lise and Sallie - Without the Internet at the cabin I can't blog, but I save up my stories and write them when I get to town. I use the scheduling feature in Blogger to post them in my absence. The down side is I get way behind on my reading and commenting on other people's blogs.<br /><br />MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-85519297243740655802013-10-30T19:23:04.225-07:002013-10-30T19:23:04.225-07:00Fun to read about a different world!

It's primarily for my blog posting, which I couldn't live without.

My motherinlaw thinks technology is of the Devil (she is reaching 80 and starting to experience some mental issues) and goes a bit crazy when she sees one of us with the phone or the ipad. I could do with a bit less technology or at least a break once in a while from it.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-81004159240277489402013-10-29T16:46:17.981-07:002013-10-29T16:46:17.981-07:00Cynthia - Thanks, let me know if you have any ques...Cynthia - Thanks, let me know if you have any questions.<br /><br />Stephanie - The initial cost to install solar and wind systems can be expensive, but in our case, we wouldn't have any power without them (and our generator in winter). When we are in town we still have power bills, hydro and a bit of gas for our fake fireplace.<br /><br />MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-82086158817926982542013-10-29T16:24:45.171-07:002013-10-29T16:24:45.171-07:00In a perfect world, it would be nice if everyone w...In a perfect world, it would be nice if everyone would leave their devices home, when they are out with friends and family. Nothing worse when two people or a group finally get together, to se some glued to their iphone, tablets and such. Is it cheaper to be off the grid? Than paying those high electrical/gas bills?Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723791871126292717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-47352142552677509762013-10-29T14:33:57.071-07:002013-10-29T14:33:57.071-07:00What an intriguing lifestyle you have!
