In the Beginning, there was a Blog…

It’s Wednesday evening, and Jenna is not feeling well.  I took Haley to Missionettes tonight, and while she’s there, I’m hanging out at the Marengo Public Library.  We didn’t want Jenna to feel bad for having to miss church today.

I’ve set up several different blogs in the past, and they never really caught on.  I think that’s because I never feel like I have anything important to say to the world in general.  I think this blog will be different.  This is for me.  I don’t pretend that I have anything important to say, and some, if not most, of my posts will be kept private.  This is just a place for sharing what’s going on in my life.  My kids may find that interesting someday in the future.

My mother is 72 this year.  I’ve often encouraged her to write memories of her life to share with her grandkids when they’ve reached an age of actually caring about such things.  I don’t think she has ever written anything.  I think she feels she needs to have her thoughts clearly organized and well thought out.  I realized some time ago that while I’m encouraging her, I should really be doing the same thing.  I’ve procrastinated long enough.  Please don’t expect these postings to be frequent or chronological.  As I feel the need, I will write.  Hopefully I wll feel like it often.

Okay, that’s enough of an introduction.  Time to start writing stuff.
