(Myself, #sonOne, #sonTwo, #Daddy_A). Additionally, I bought #A1, #GD1, #GD2 each their own Nintendo #2DS handhelds (and 2nd son sonTwo and I each got a #3DS handheld).
Part of the plan was that we'd all play together and thereby increase our time spent together and our communication, but that never happened, so I stopped buying consoles. -

She told me that she's enduring long distance communications only because we have not been face to face in some years. -

She's eleven, but she's been writing full sentences, with punctuation, correctly spelled since she was six.
She's the only person I know who is younger than about thirty whose written messages immediately make sense. (To be fair, I used to have to rewrite letters from relatives so that I could understand the message.) -

They didn't have jerseys in A1's size, so I bought him a onesie. -

( #GS2 still lives about three hours drive time away, so he has not been exposed to his family’s viruses. ) -

I asked #GD2, but she has not yet responded. Anyone have ideas?
Is there some software (preferably in #F-Droid) that can be used? -

Tomorrow I will also attempt to videochat with #GD1 and #GD2, and will attempt to make up last weekend's missed chat with #A1, #A2, #A3.
(In case you're wondering, I'm not attempting to set up a chat this weekend with 24 year old #GS2 nor 26 year old #GS1. I will try to get in touch with GS1 for a chat some time in August, and try to have a voice call with GS2 later this year.) -

I really enjoy it when grandkids contact me for no reason except to say hello.
She also got in touch to thank me for the school supplies that arrived this afternoon. -

If I'd brought #GD2 or #A1, we would have done that. -

No updates yet, but he expected the younger daughter to read it first. -

I bought copies for #A1 and #GS3 (none for #GD2 because she’s currently only reading “Naruto” books). -

The younger child had missed his nap, so he had gone to bed early. He heard Grandpa's voice and started crying until they brought him out to see me.
He tried to give me his bottle, then raised his arms to say "pick me up". At one year old, he hasn't quite grasped that the person in the tablet screen cannot just step through the glass. He's quite sleepy, but I think he's going to resist sleep as long as he can.
The three year old was repeating back everything I said, then he showed me his Spiderman toy and his book. Spiderman talks when you pull the string, so he got distracted with that and forgot about Grandpa until time to say goodnight.
There must have been some TV show where a character speaks in a growling voice, because GS3 kept reverting to that voice.
I did not have this week's call with #sonOne, #GD1, and #GD2. We'll have to try for next weekend. -

It looks like the 'how to draw cartoons' and 'how to draw anime' books (those aren't their exact titles) helped. -

I’m heading to another part of #NYState tomorrow, while he’s heading home.
I had a really good time. I think it was 3 years since I saw #sonOne last, and close to 5 years since I visited his home ( #GD2 was 5-6; now she’s 10 ). We’re planning for me to visit, followed by a visit to #sonTwo and a possible one-day trip to see #Daddy_A. -

Bought "1619" books for #sonOne and #sonTwo. And me. And my mom. Now #GD1 and #GD2 have read a related book. We're hoping to have a #videochat where we talk about some of the ideas and stories. -

She's been reading her older sister's manga books, mostly Naruto. In conversation from mustard permalink -

I sent the lad a photo from the office window at work, but he did not respond. I will try to call him Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, cousin #GD2 reports that her phone doesn't take a charge any more. I planned to call her also, but it will have to wait until #sonOne replaces her phone.In conversation from web permalink -

Answer: yes!
By Tuesday, 2022-01-04, both cousins should have all three Max Meow books.In conversation from web permalink Attachments
