Learning Humility

Joshua's older brother Jeremy, is one of Joshua's best friends.  Although Jeremy is 21 yrs old he loves doing things with Joshua like playing his music on the keyboard and he is very patient with  him.  But his patience ends there.

I confess I am to a certain degree computer illiterate, but I am working on it ever day.  My son, Jeremy has been my biggest asset in accomplishing anything on this blog.  He has helped me set it up, put the pictures on and a myriad of other things.  I homeschooled him  from K - 9th grade, so you think he would be grateful that I taught him how to read, write,  do his math, etc.

However, when it comes to him teaching me on the computer, I'm sure I am a great challenge.  He is currently in college studying biomedical engineering.  I told him to never, never, never go into teaching.

He was totally shocked to find out all the things I do NOT know how to do.  I have taught myself how to work my computer, do face book and a few other things; but I guess that I am really way behind in my computer skills.  According to him, I have "real computer issues".

After being insulted a few times with comments like "this is so elementary ... it's like telling someone how to wash a dish," and "even Aunt Joyce knows how to do this"; I learned what Jeremy considers to be the epitome of stupidity when he says, "Mom, teenage girls know how to do this." 

So, if I don't post everyday or get my pictures posted at the right time, you will understand that I am being tutored by a strict schoolmaster who is not very available  Anyone else available, please let me know.  Until then, I remain humbly yours,  Patti Goulet, and I still love you, Jeremy, you're the best!
