“Visit your Relatives” Day
On May 18th, it is national “Visit your Relatives” Day. For some of us, that is a simple task: walk across the street or hop in the car and drive for a little while. For others, this is a rather tricky and effort-requiring undertaking as the relatives aren’t right across the street or a 2 hour car ride away. Not to worry though: with Microsoft’s Skype (click here to download) you are being given a wonderful tool to help out in exactly those situations – and it’s FREE!
