Dear Friends:

The News Page of my website has always been a wonderful way for us to keep in touch but now I realize that it does have its limitations. For one, it takes too many people to keep it fresh.

I've heard what you've been saying... I've been awful at posting updates here for several months. You think I've retired, fallen off the face of the earth or don't care about you anymore... NOT TRUE, couldn't be more wrong! Kicking and screaming I'm trying to adapt to the world of Twitter and Facebook.

I HATE CHANGE but because I love you all and you're always so generous about wanting to stay in touch, I'm learning to use social networking tools. (I can just hear Frankie laughing his head off in heaven; he always loved all the new gadgets and would have insisting I do this long ago).

Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can. I am so technically challenged but it's easier than you think it is. In the old days, I couldn't even work a VCR (thank goodness they have been replaced).

Enter the world of Facebook and Twitter.

They will make staying in touch much, much easier. I wasn't sure I would know what to do with them but since I got my new MacBook Air laptop computer, I'm learning.

I hope you'll give it a try.

I'm already tweeting on Twitter. And I'm proud to announce that the new Linda Dano Fan Page is up on Facebook. I've started discussion topics so that we can connect and listen to each other on some critical issues of the day. Feel free to start a new topic. I'm extending an invitation for you to post photos we've taken together — can't wait to see them!

I'll link to what I'm up to, dates and places where we can see each other. You'll see pictures of me, MO & Mabel.

As soon as I figure out how, I'll also post videos... If you're interested, you can now have a window into what I'm doing and when which should give you a laugh!

Change is always hard, and I'm the first one to resist change but I now realize that loosing touch with all of you is much worse than learning how to use Twitter and Facebook.

Please come over with me... please.

My love to each of you!
Linda
