Techno-nightmare!

I spent the whole morning trying to download a picture from the reccommended picture gallery. Something that has no fees, licenses and sudden surprises. The first half of the morning I was trying to download some clip art and an error message kept coming up. That's when I finally realised that I can't just download anything. Earlier on, I was exploring how to create a WebQuest and thought, hey, this is interesting although I could never create anything like the work of some of the students who did it last semester. After I finally inserted the picture from the photogallery, I was thoroughly dejected. If i continue like this, I'll have to finish the Masters when I'm a grandmother... scary thought!

First steps....




Hi! I'm Nilly.
My primary occupation in life is being a mother. I have two children aged 7 and 9. My chief interest is to see how these two kids develop - spiritually, physically and intellectually.

I have a quite a few interests - one of which is getting to know people from different nations. I have also had people from different backgrounds staying in my home as boarders and as visitors. Since I have also been offering board and lodging to international students I have had quite a few staying with me. These students have become part of my extended family. Two of them even met their partners at our home and have now married them. so I also take on the role of matchmaker - accidently! The most momentous of my matchmaking efforts was when a Chinese student who lived with me married one of our friends. My husband gave the bride away and my two kids were the flower girl and page boy!
