About Blogging and Blogging Books

I have been composing posts in my head for days and days. I really think that blogging is such a great way to record history. I have not been good about that the past 20 or so years and there are so many events, moments, clever and profound sayings that are lost forever. So I have been feeling resolved to do a better job of writing things down in this form because it serves so many purposes--keeping in touch with people I love, family history, improvement of my pitiful typing and writing skills.....My sister, Sarah (I only have the one), inspired me to start blogging with her fabulous blog Toad, Sue, Roo and Boo Radley. My husband made sure I got my blog started and he helps me whenever I have technical questions which is very often. I also love my friend,
Denice's blog and my friend Jen's blog. Anyway, Sarah's sister-in-law also blogs. Actually, she is the queen of blogging. Yes, I think she really is. On her most recent blog (Feb. 4) she shows her blog book that she just got in the mail. You have GOT to see this. It is history done so well and so cool. Really, check it out and while you are at it just look at some of her other posts. They are incredible. She is very creative, takes great pictures, writes well, and is very consistent in posting and keeping up to date. Me too--starting now. http://gingerandfreckled.blogspot.com/

Wow, that is truly cool! When I grow up I want one!

Actually, it really is a good inspiration for putting more effort into this process.

And by the way, we need chocolate...

Wow, I feel loved...not really. I guess you didn't mention a couple of people, but I thought that you would have the decency to mention your daughter/ :) Just kidding mom. It's good to see you blogging again! Love you!

I think I would like to get something like that done when I am finished here on my adventure. AND I didn't even know that Joe and Leslie had a blog--so now I have another one to read! yipee! thanks for sharing!
