my sister made my day
My sister sent me an email that said she and BIL were going to shooby down to Ruby's on the HB pier for breakfast. She said she'd call me when she got there, and had me go to www.hbcams.com and choose the south view.
She called. I looked. I'll be damned, I'm talking to my sister on the phone and seeing her live as she sat with BIL on a bench on the pier, the rock of my life. I took a screenshot. Such a simple thing, but I'll treasure this little event forever.
And I am so homesick that I cry sometimes.

The phone does us well, and we trade pictures all the time. This was unique, and inspired.
I know how you feel.
Miss my sister, my brother and my sweet home Chicago. 
Glad you got that moment.
You should use Skype! It's free when you both use computers. The only drawback is that your computer must have a camera...
although I think that technology is amazing.

I've only used it a couple of times, and I am always amazed at it!
