Happily she is coming home for a brief visit during the holidays :) I tried to listen to the interview, but it wouldn't work for me. I don't know if it's where I live or if I'm not doing something right. My husband Mike is a computer guy, so I'm going to ask him to help me out. BTW, thanks for the recommendation of The Gardener's Year - definitely going to check it out.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934973314360291318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-33935501859015680512009-10-30T17:49:08.689+00:002009-10-30T17:49:08.689+00:00Jodi, I wouldn't be without Skype, either.

It must be very difficult for you to be so far from your daughter.

Being able to chat and see their faces on screen makes it bearable. The farthest away is my daughter, Joy, who lives in NZ. *Sniff* Has you ever seen the movie 84 Charing Cross Road?

(Sadly not the first time I've had this reaction when Sophie T has been the narrator.)
