I am really loving my Skylight Frame, that shows a slideshow of my uploaded photos. I have started uploading our various RV travel photos, as well as family photos. Friends and family can email photos to the Frame and it automatically uploads them. Email to: eviepless@ourskylight.com My biggest problem is technical, as after uploading around 750 photos, the app on my phone won't work as it should. After 15 emails with the Skylight Frame tech support, they still haven't figured out the problem. Oh well, sigh.
I did an outdoor visit with Tamara and kids. We had a really nice winter walk around their neighborhood. Tamara's news is that she is changing nursing jobs, and will be starting at the Greenfield Bay State hospital. Better working conditions, better pay, and closer to home. They even created a specific job just for her, so she can continue to work 3 long days-Fri, Sat & Sun.
Then, the next weekend, I visited with Anica and family, and we went to a nearby playground. However, that day it was really cold, with a biting wind. The kids lasted longer than I did. But, both visits were really nice, as I wouldn't get to see them in person otherwise.
Then we came to Birthday Week. Joe and Robbie's birthdays were Jan 21st, Peter's birthday was Jan 23rd, and Lou and Claire's birthdays were Jan 24th. For Peter's birthday, since it was a cold sunny day, we decided to get out of the house and went for a scenic drive. We ended up in Ipswich, MA along the coast. We found Crane beach and Castle Hill on the Crane Estates, both now owned by a Trusteeship, open to the public. The beach had a nice boardwalk over to the water, but the wind was so cold and strong, that we took one look and went back to the car. Nearby was Castle Hill, which has a huge mansion built by the Crane's around 1910. It has beautiful landscaping, incredible views from the top of the hill of the ocean and the surrounding salt marshes. The whole estate reminded us of Downton Abbey estate, although maybe not quite a large. This would be a nice place to walk around when the weather is warmer. And, the film Witches of Eastwick was filmed at this estate, so we watched it last night.
On Sunday, Jan 24th, we did a big family/cousins/siblings Zoom birthday party! What fun! Nieces and nephews I haven't seen in a long time were there with their families. It was so nice to catch up. I even found childhood photos of the birthday folks to show folks--see below.
