Welcome to my world!

For those of you who are reading this, let me just say, thank you for your bravery.  Hanging out with me, & my family, on any level, is not for the weak hearted.  We are a lively bunch, who find great humor in some of the oddest of things.  I have been encouraged to write this "blog",  by so many of you, who read my little quips & quirks and said I should be writing these things in some way, or the other.  The term "blog" is foreign to me, as I am not very computer savy.  Someone actually had to explain to me what a blog is, (thanks Lora!)  and how it works.....or at least she tried to, anyway.  So I hope this thing doesn't explode my computer, or worse, YOUR computer! 
   As with anything new, there is a great fear, that this will not be recieved well, or WORSE, will be viewed as one of the more rediculous things I've done in my life.  Fortunately, I have plenty of people who love me, and will remind me of things that I have done, that are far more rediculous & embarassing, than writing this blog. 
   So for all of the little possative things people have said to me along the way, or offers of encouragement, I really appreciate it.
