About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

During our family chat last week, my mother asked me what I was reading and I said I was reading a book about the history of the Library of Congress. My mother and sister almost fell off their chairs laughing. Not about that fact that I was reading a history book. But the fact that it was a book about libraries.
Libraries have always been my second home. At least, before the internet they were my second home. And this means that I was not a social butterfly. I preferred to stay in the library and read - rather than be "out there" with other people. That would still be true today - even if there was no pandemic.
Back when I was at school I would sit off to one side of the playground and read during my recess breaks and lunch breaks. Being hard of hearing and not being able to lip read in groups, made it very hard for me to follow the conversation. So if I did say something, it usually ended up being awkward or totally unrelated to the conversation.
This is why I now prefer the internet. I have access to so many libraries and books, I can still read as much as I want, and I can chat (type) all day with people and not make mistakes about the topic of conversation.
I still do not even have a phone. No cell phone? Nope!! I just recently acquired my first tablet and am struggling to find my way around. Swiping screens is not a natural activity for me. And I avoid typing on my tablet when I can. Fat fingers you know. LOL
I much prefer the trusty old Desktop PC and keyboard!!
Ok thats enough about me not being a social butterfly!! LOL
Now you know why I love typing such LONG descriptions. This is where I can be a social butterfly!!
