Another Good Idea

Tweet

This afternoon I came home from staying my sister and her family for a week. The visit was delightful, but the drive was brutal (both ways). My sister and brother are retired. My sister is fifteen years out from a lung transplant (they usually give out after three years). My brother-in-law is in lots of pain from falling off the roof and not really recovering. They live with their two grown daughters and their wonderful adopted Chinese daughters. There is lots of activity in the house, most of it dealing with electronics. The four young women/girls are really into computers, iPads, iPhones and the assorted games that go with them. One daughter is an attorney, the other a computer person, both work at the same large company (You would know it, if I mentioned it). The girls are in elementary school, but going to Mine Craft Camp at a local university this summer. All four girls are into travel, often on cruise ships. One of the adults, the lawyer, is especially keen about cruising, and loves my idea of spending my retirement on cruise ships. We chatted about this at length. When I told her about my intention of writing a blog about this, she suggested I make videos for YouTube. What a great idea. Then her sister chimed in, telling me how easy it would be if I used iMovie on my iPad. There are other ways of making them, of course, but she said they are far more complex. Since I’m into “simple”, I downloaded iMovie on my iPad right then. Once I take my “test drive” cruise to Alaska, and decide this is a go, I’ll take a class at my local Apple Store. Easy peasy. Do you like to watch videos on YouTube? What type do you enjoy?
