Well, hello there!

Yes, I’ve taken the plunge and decided to start a blog. Is it because all the cool kids are doing it, or because I think I’ll make so much money, I can quit my day job and work from home? Erm, no.

I have many blogs I follow as time allows, which I really enjoy. I learn things about fashion, travel and food (all my favorite things), and get fascinating insights on people’s lives in places I’d like to visit or live. Their posts are like letters from friends – remember back in the day when we had to write real letters, on actual paper?

I don’t confuse them with REAL friends (and I do have some absolute treasures in that department – I’m sure you’ll be hearing about them!), but I enjoy interaction through commenting on their posts, and I figure that’s what the Comments are for, right? I am a champion commenter, because I have definite opinions, and I believe in making them heard. I actually have made one friend In Real Life, who is my blogging Fairy Godmother (thank you, Jodie & Rob!)

I’d like to share some of those opinions in this blog, as well as stories, memories and insights. I hope to make you laugh, maybe cry occasionally, and scratch your head and say “Hmmm….”

I still have a full-time job, a wonderful husband, responsibilities on my family farm, sing in 2 choirs and a fairly full social life, so although I’m hoping to post weekly, we’ll see how that goes!

So buckle up, and let’s see what mischief we can get into, shall we?
