So this thing is a “cloud based” WI-FI enabled picture frame, the darn thing actually will play short instagram like movies. Now - Grandma is NOT good at seeing pictures on text, email, or facebook so everyone sending her a picture has had some major, major problems. The way it works - Someone sets it up (contacts it to Wi-Fi, and creates the cloud account off their website), and it will send emails to who ever you invite. ALL those people get to download an application on their IPhone / Android / IPAD etc… that lets them upload pictures to the cloud that automatically show up on the picture frame … The picture frame monitors “light” in the room, and shut off when the lights are turned off, it uses the Wi-Fi to download anything people uploads automatically, you can use your finger to “swipe” to the next picture. The thing shows pictures and will play movies with sound that you take with your smart phone. My mom took her old photo album, had the kids take pictures of what she wanted and upload them… Next thing you know there is 160+ pictures on it.. and some movies as well… The best part - Mom doesn’t have to check email, texts, or face book for pictures … If you have an older relative that doesn’t do well with getting pictures - this is your huckleberry… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X1XW8LC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

 God, how the times have changed! I’m absolutely certain that the best presents I gave for Christmas were guns! Ben’s .22, his 20 gauge, (May have been birthday, I don’t remember), Penny’s .22 ( Ruger American). Best I ever got was guns too, a .22 Marlin, and a 20 gauge single shot. I must be getting obsolete! 7mm

This reminds me of my Mom.
She always had dial phone.
When I got outta the service, Carol and I got her a digital phone with big numbers and a 10 number program.
When we gave it to her, she didn’t want it, but we programmed it with the garage and her sisters numbers, and showed her how to use it.
After that, She loved it. Push one big, easy to see button, and the phone did the rest

We game Mom one of those frames a few years ago. It’s the Skylight brand but exact same features.
Moms first reaction wasn’t so hot - thought it was a standard digital frame. When I told her you emailed photos to it she started setting it up right then! She loves it. Especially since my family is spread out it’s a good way to keep up

Run it up, until you blow it up, then back it down a bit.
