today, picking up lunch and I saw something that I found sad. At a table was an older couple, about 60 or so, both sitting there eating and texting away on their phone. Before phones, I used to think it was bad when I saw this but they were reading papers. It just made me think...don't people even talk anymore? I have seen parents do this with their kids to in restaurants. Yes, I do have a cell phone, but I can honestly say that I* will NOT do this with my husband, daughter or anyone else I am out spending time with. I have had 2 of my daughters friends mention to me how they hate texting cause that is all their Mom seems to do. I listen carefully when I hear these things and take it in.

My parents have been married for 55 years and my Mom has been with my Dad since she was 14. No cell phones, texting etc...just good strong communication. I just think life was a bit simpler back in those days and even when we were kids. Call me old fashioned, I dont care, but this is me
