The Blog

I started to write a post today about my darling 14 year old grand daughter and her huge accomplishment on August 13. I have a lot actually to post about, but my creative juices seem to be occupied in a different direction at the moment.

I did however, get a surprise when I logged into this blog and found that Blogger has changed it's format. I guess we are making it easier to be illiterate these days.

Where it used to say NEW POST, now it has a pencil symbol. I don't know, all these pictures and symbols instead of words just makes me a little uneasy. I understand they are no longer teaching cursive or penmanship in schools.

I think it's too bad that today's children don't have an opportunity to enjoy the art of writing, it's relaxing and for some quite beautiful.

As Edward Bulwer- Lytton declared " The pen is mightier than the sword" maybe it's mightier than the computer. LOL

I'm just saying.
