What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 134
I have nothing to show you that you didn't see last Wednesday. I'm also sorry that I didn't make it around to all the desks last week, I just couldn't give up the time; see, my Sissy lives in California, so we don't get Christmas together too often, and that's why.
So instead of a desk, here's a picture that has touched my heart. I was sitting on the sofa behind my father who was sitting on the floor, leaning against the sofa (by choice!). He was playing with his new Kindle and not having a lot of luck with button comprehension. So my darling Miss Dunnit sat beside him and explained, many times, the 'home' button function and where to go from there. He's still giddy at the fact that she loaded 1500 books onto it in about 5 minutes flat, so I'm not sure how much info he's taking in at this stage......

Happy New Year. Sorry my WOYWW today is a bit sad but that's been how it is.
Thanks for a great WOYWW year, Julia! Wishing you all the best blessings for the coming year!
I love when the young get to turn the tables and teach the elder! Great Pic! Thanks for a wonderful year of WOYWW!!
Lovely pic of the young bamboozling the elderly in a caring way. Wishing you a very happy 2012 and thanks for all the peeks at your desk and many others.
Merry Christmas and a happy WOYWW to you! Fab photo of the Dunnits Jnr and Elder, and a sweet story.... LOL
Awesome story about your Dad and Ms Dunnit. It sounds like you had a great Christmas! Hope you have a great week! Happy New Year! Vickie #10

Wonderful picture! Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas :D. Thank you for the holiday deadline advice, I did follow it after a fashion. But in previous years I'd have handed out coupons for gifts that would have kept me going until February lol. Hope your New Year is marvelous :D. #17
Happy New Year!
Lovely photo Julia. My old Dad would have been fascinated by the Kindle - he loved books of all kinds.
I'm back off to bed for an hour - if you read the last bit of my post you will see why.
Happy New Year in advance
I love it when the older generation embrace technology, so good for their brains.

Wonderful Julia! I found out last week that my elderly honorary Uncle has taken up computing and I keep hearing from him via Facebook! Super photo BTW. Di xx
This is a beautiful photo Julia and what a lovely memory! Thanks you for taking care of us, even when you're so busy!
Hi there dear Julia and so very glad that you had your sister there too and also, your dad and your daughter were getting on well together, learning. Even if not all comprehended at least there was fun had - thanks for much for WOYWW this year - it has been an awesome year indeed discovering this in January and taking part throughout the year. God's blessing dear blogging friend, Shaz in oz.x
This was the year of the kindle. My parents gave me one and at least 5 other friends that I know got one. I love it
Fab photo Julia. I hope he has many wonderful hours of pleasure from his new 'toy'.
I haven't heard from the 'house of poorly' this morning yet but last night I offered to have the twins for the day today so I'm not sure how many desks I will manage to get round today.
Thanks for all you do to keep us all together.
Hugs,

Ahh Kindle, you've said my next favourite word after scrapping, stamping, crafting and WOYWW.
Can't do without mine. My mum took awhile to get the hang of hers (she's 73), but now can't do without it.
Glad you had a lovely Xmas...big hug to you.
PS: want to feel old, take a look at my Lou's shoes!!!!

What a lovely picture and a treasured memory! I hope you enjoy your kindle; it seems like it's been the gift of choice this year! Thanks for hosting WOYWW this year, I've really enjoyed our "visits" and look forward to more in 2012!
Hello!
I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas with your family! Wishing you everything good in the new year!
Hugs,

Hi Julia - Dumbo here put the wrong link at number 23! I've added the right one further down but you might like to delete 23 please. I blame too much turkey meself!! Di xxx
Please tell your daughter that her hair colour is to die for!!! Its wonderful! Glad you had a great time, I think a lot of us didn't get around to everyone last week- Christmas sort of pounced! I have so enjoyed all the weeks I have been taking part in WOYWW, so thank you so much for all you do bringing us all together- have a great New Year, love Shaz xx
Thanks for sharing the photo. Love it when the elder will try the new tech. And your daughter, well that's what Christmas is....sharing.
and may you and yours share some merriment for the NEW YEAR. Have a Happy One.
What a lovely photo! :)
Lovely photo! Seems the Kindle is very popular this year - I love mine! Have a great New Year! x
The new technology... I had to use google to find out what the Kindle is :)
How nice that your daughter helped your father! Lovely pic, indeed!

Great pic Julia - I hope you are enjoying a wonderful Christmas break and that your New Year celebrations are fun too. x Jo
A memorie to last a life time. And your Dad is soo lucky, I asked for one of those Kindles, and hubby thought I meant a magnifying glass for my other E-reader, and couldnt gert hos head around the concept at all, NOw he has promised I can have one for my birthday, provided he has the money for it, erm dont think I will wait that long, can see a parcel arriving for me in the new year somehow, cant you?
Happy WOYWW hun, and thanks for hosting such an addictive past time!! Have a wonderful End of Year celebration, xxx
Hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas break and I'm looking forward to visiting your desks today x
That is a gorgeous photo.
I love this photo. Thanks for a look into your life! Have a wonderful New Year!
What a gorgeous picture! Don't you just love those stolen natural images the best?
I've just gone bonkers in the Amazon kindle book sale. You merrily click away thinking ooh, how cheap - 99p here, 99p there... forgetting just how quickly those 99p's add up! Oops!
Am in a hurry so can not stop long - but I wanted to wish you happy in-between Christmas and New Year time and hope that you are having a wonderful time xxx Loved the picture btw!
I am sure your Dad will love his Kindle once he gets the hang of it. I would not be without mine, how else can you take hundreds of books on holiday without destroying your weight allowance in one fell swoop. I love the fact that it will remember exactly where you are in a book, even if you you do as I do sometimes and have several books on the go at a time. Of all of us, you are certainly to be excused for not visiting everyone, and taking time out to enjoy your family. Have a special New Year too, and take time for yourself. Hugs xx Maggie #50
What a wonderful moment to capture of the young teaching the old. I have one of jake and dad whilst jake is explaining what 'apps' are!!
Oh I have a bowl!!! When I get home I will be sending you many picture texts!!!
Happy new year my dear friend see you next week
Laura x x
What a wonderful moment to have captured! I'm so glad you enjoyed the holiday with your family!
Julia, Thanks for hosting WOYWW. I've enjoyed it so much. The photo of your dadis great. I'm glad you had your sister visiting also.
Lovely photo im sure he will love and get used to his kindle soon.
Here's hoping you Have Happy Healthy,Creative New Year
Hugs Judex 57

It's a lovely pic of your dad & sister,he will grow to love his kindle, Thank you for WOYWW, happy 2012, Hugs May x x x x x x x
Not blogged for a few weeks so time to join in with WOYWW again!
Fabulous photo, hope you are having a wonderful christmas Julia. Finally got a day to myself so thought i would join in and have a blogging day, still in my pjs.
I’m sure that no one was expecting to get around to absolutely everyone last week Julia, or any other week for that matter but it’s always nice to see you when you do make it.
Looks like you had a lovely family Christmas and I see nothing wrong with choosing to sit on the floor….that’s where I usually end up too!
Happy New Year to you and yours!

Hi Julia, great photo and love the story of your dad's struggle to get to grips with the Kindle. 1,500 books ... how long would it take to read that many books? Hope you enjoy the New Year celebrations as much as you have enjoyed Christmas and that 2012 will bring health, happiness and prosperty to you and yours. Elizabeth x #65
Love that picture of you and your dad. Such a sweet moment.
Happy New Year!
What a lovely photo and a memory to treasure. I've not joined in during December, as I just didn't have the time to visit everyone else! Looking forward to sharing again in the New Year:)
It's so much fun to be back and see what everyone has been doing! I got through 24 of your posts while waiting for pictures to load on my newest post! My computer may be a little slow...but I'm thankful for it!!!
Awwww....nice picture:)
Drats. I tried to post this from my phone and it didn't work..... can you delete #54 as the link doesn't go to my site...... I re-linked up on #72.
505whimsygirl - that won't try this from my phone again!!!!
It's my first time on here! It's great to see what everyone is up to :)
That is indeed a super picture. Glad to hear you had a fabby Christmas!
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Hugs

isn't there a song going round at the moment saying its not what is on/under the tree it's what around it that counts?
Family - can't beat 'em,
arn't grandads and grandkids The Best for Tear Jerkers?
hope the Dunnit Sissy stays ages and ages so you get enough of each other to carry you over the next separation.
Dxxx
Happy new year for the weekend too
By the way Julia, I have just posted how I get my rosettes to stay together long enough to stick!
You left a message on my post saying " Four sets of school holidays, it's a miracle you ever see each other!" During termtime, we don't! When we're all on holiday, we are all more relaxed. It's the recipe for a happy marriage!!
I had nothing last week but am back this week. I had to smile:-)))))
Carol
LOL, I also had to help out a friend who couldn't figure out why her WIFI wasn't working on her computer, her sister and her husband had also tried to figure it out to no avail...hee hee...they didn't toggle on the wifi button on her lap top! Glad Miss. Dunnit was there to help your Dad out! Family is just another word for tech support!
I love your photo - we had the same issue showing my Auntie how to work her new phone.....
I so love your Dad! How fun! It is always great to see our folks become techie in these times! My Mom is almost 80 and can not live without her laptop, ebay and craiglist sites! I hope you Dad loves his Kindle! My best to you and your family for 2012!
Oh that picture is the best with your Dad!!!
What a wonderful gift for him.... he will be so prode to just find somthing on it!!!
Happy New Year!
.....(I whisper...) how did you know about the sequinned knickers!?!
glad you all had a great Christmas.
know how you feel with you Dad my mum is the same she actually managed to read the post I did about her ironing but making a comment was beyond her.
happy new year to all the Dunnits and thanks for bringing sooo much fun and inspiration to my desk over the last year, here's to

Happy day to your and yours. Looks like great times in the Dunnit household. I cleaned my desk. It's not the sign of a grave illness but of an intense desire to get the holiday stuff off it.
Sorry i missed the last of the year but I will be there for the first hopefully. I actually lost track of the days ...they sort of flow into each other. Glad you had a good festive few days ...hope your dad has got to grips with his kindle.xx
What a wonderful picture! Living so far from home, I bet she doesn't make it home very often. That is a very long and usually quite expensive trip. Glad you got to spend time together for the holiday. -Meechelle #86
Technology, don't you just love it? Look forward to seeing your desk and glasses again. Our contained arrived two days before Christmas, not ideal but almost sorted now. Wish you all best for 2011
Lovely "generational" photo there, I always love it when the older folks get to grips with technology. Andrew has a very distant relative over in Wisconsin who turned 80 this year, he's a very keen genealogist, as am I, and can run rings round me with his internet research! Watch out Miss D, that's all I can say!! Hope you have a wonderful New Year and here's to 2012.
Hugs

Bless what a lovely picture! No I dont collect new coins but for every year (and there have been 44 of them!) my Mom has always put one of each coin from that year (apart from a £5 coin) into my stocking - this year she did the same for my two boys so I have bagged up the money as I will probably buy them something and pay with a card rather than cash so its all mine, mine I tell you! tee hee! Hope you have a fabulous New Year - thank you so much for keeping us all so entertained on a Wednesday - makes life so much more fun!
Thanks Julia for visiting my blog as usual and Happy New Year to you and your family
aw a treasure of a photo :) i've downtime from online and really enjoyed family time instead so no crafting here :) xxx
