Introduction

I am so excited to be blogging again. It's been over a year, I think, since my last blog post, which is far too long. Since then I have mostly abandoned MySpace in favor of Facebook, mostly because more people I actually want to talk to are on Facebook. The one thing Facebook seems to lack is a good blogging option. However, over the past several years I've notices people writing lovely looking blogs on Blogger, and I thought I would give it a try. I have an old and moldy blog on Livejournal, and I have no idea if I will still keep it up or just let it gather virtual dust... I will have to see how it goes. I think I like the set up options (such as following friends blogs on other sites besides Blogger) and feel of Blogger better.

What will I be likely to talk about? Will you be interested? I'm likely to talk about my family, my land, some of my family's health issues, my passions and hobbies, our animals, and anything else that catches my attention. I may bring up my spirituality in small doses, though I do not expect any of you to share my beliefs. My beliefs are important to me, but I am not likely to hit anyone over the head with them. Although I may occasionally comment on current issues, I'm unlikely to talk about politics. My husband and I have somewhat different views and I am not a person who enjoys debate (at least not about politics) so I will likely keep my opinions on that largely to myself. I get enough politics at home whether I wish to or not :).

You are likely to get to view a vast number of photos. I'm an avid amateur photographer and take LOTS of photos. I just wish I had a better camera. I have not yet experimented to see what posting photos here is like. I hope you don't mind visiting a few old favorite photos, because I might post a few over again.

There may occasionally be reviews of music or books that I am enjoying. I'm a big fan of librarything, and if you are curious what kinds of books I read or subjects I am interested in feel free to look. I made sure to put my librarything widgit up first thing, before I even managed a post.

Also be prepared for a healthy dose of family research and history. That seems to be where most of my energy is going these days, partially because even when my fibromyalgia is acting up and I feel like hell, it is something I can still do and enjoy. It is also excellent for nights when I can not sleep.

If you are really really really lucky, I might even post a few of my poems or drawings.

I hope my friends and family will come visit me here, and though this does not take the place of phone calls, letters or emails, it will hopefully fill in the gaps between them. I miss and love you all, even if I do not say so enough.
