Happy Birthday!

I do hope he is happier on his birthday than he was this day in February when his mom was going around with a camera taking pictures of every one. This is my son James, or as all the family calls him, Jimmy. He is 28 years old today and I wanted to wish him a happy birthday here on the blog.

He and I share a love of computers and handcrafted things. He likes to figure out how things work just out of curiosity and started this at a young age. (Insert embarrassing mom story here.) The first memory I have of this trait in him happened when he was about two years old. I was on the phone with someone and assumed he was playing with toys in the other room. While I was talking he came up and showed me that he had found a screwdriver and taken all the handles off of the drawers on the desk in the living room. After the phone call we of course had a lesson on how to put them back on.

His life has been a busy one lately with a move from apartment living to a house, a lovely wife, 2 busy boys and a dog.

Happy Birthday Jimmy!

Always More

Jim has a laptop and I have a desktop. We think a little differently on how we use computers so it really is best that we each have our own and don't touch the others. He keeps his desktop very clean and neat and I have icons for all kinds of thing all over mine. It is my version of post it notes. He is basically the keeper of the family and travel photos on his computer. He has several years of pictures on it and has added to his laptop memory several times. To be safe we also have them backed up on disks and portable hard drives. About the only time I look at his computer is when I want to see or send pictures.
