Visions of What's To Come

As I looked through my pictures trying to decide what to write about this week, this is what I found:
A birthday present - quite high tech - a personal word processor! It meant I could participate in a tutorial-by-mail writing program I had recently applied for. It meant much neater work on the essays I was beginning to be assigned for school. It meant being ready for high school honors English. I was able to save to a floppy disk, see my writing on screen before printing, and write drafts and make corrections.
I just had to laugh when I saw the picture - it really speaks to the writer I became.
