THE TIME MACHINE
As a Christmas gift, my daughter and her husband gave me this device that flashes pictures from the past all day long. According to the box it came in, it is called the Nest Hub by Google. My son-in-law set it up and if it was not for him I would still be in dark ages when dealing with all this new age stuff, including my iPhone. I have no idea how it finds these pictures, some from recent events and many from long ago. The picture shown is me with my daughter, Amy, my sister, Joan and Celia taken in 2013. This device also tells the time, weather conditions, news events, plays music and many other things I'm not familiar with yet. You can even talk to it and tell it what to do and it will talk back, more than what my cat will do. I have tried this a few times and my cat looks at me as if I'm going crazy. It can distract me from doing the things that need to be done, such as cleaning house and making order out of chaos. At this stage of life I can live with the chaos, but not without the memories of the past.
I wonder how we could send some photos to your Google nest hub time machine. Post the link or e-mail addy so I can send you a bunch too, Mike!
