Welcome!

Hi there, and thanks for checking this out. And remember that it's a work in progress.

I put this blog together because, despite best intentions, we don't see each other nearly enough, and I thought it would be nice to have a place where we could share what's going on in our lives -- little things, big things, etc -- with the emphasis on little things, which are often more fun to talk about with family and friends.

Please don't think you have to have something "important" to share in order to post it here. With blogging (more on the general concept of blogging soon in case you aren't familiar with it), we can share stories, photos, all kinds of stuff.

It will be kind of like Thanksgiving dinner... without all of that sleep-inducing tryptophan. More to the point, the blog is here so that you don't need to say, "so, what's going on with you" at Thanksgiving. You know, so we can concentrate on the important stuff, like the football game.

Case in point...

... how long ago was this photo taken?
