“Here I come, ready or not,” I call to my grandchildren when we play Hide and Go Seek Tag in the back yard.  That’s the way I feel today as I launch my Blog and invite all of you to join me in sharing stories and interesting events through which we learn and grow – and laugh, especially at ourselves. 

“Create a blog,” friends have been telling me, but I avoided it until today.  “You’re a writer, so you should be writing a blog,” they all insisted after my second book was published.  “Not until I have a list of fifty items to write about,” I laughed and ignored them. 

So, now I’m sitting here with a list of over fifty things I want to discuss with you all.  One thought or idea each week takes me almost to a year.  Wow!  This may not be as hard as I thought. It sounds like fun to me, and I hope it will be fun for you all out there.  Do the words spirals, dogs, trains, luddites, swinging, write girls, and grandchildren sound like adventures we can all enjoy together? 

 

I hope so, because “Here I come, ready or not.”  Get ready to speak up, and I’ll see you next week!
