After many months of family and friends encouraging me to start a blog and me claiming, "I don't have time for that" here I am. Although I usually have a lot to say, I don't presume that anyone else is really interested in my chattering and meanderings....after all, I am just an ordinary homemaker living a simple life. Not a boring life, but a simple life. As a matter of fact, I can't seem to hold a conversation with my son for more than 3 minutes and 23 seconds before he gets that glazed over look in his eyes and I know I have lost him to somewhere far away, so why would anyone else want to listen to (or in this case read) my ramblings? But, alas, since I find myself with too much time on my hands and unable to do much right now, I decided to give blogging a try. I will do my best not to be boring or monotonous, but I guarantee nothing.
The reason I have time to spare is that I am recovering from surgery. I had a big, old, ugly hysterectomy Nov. 16 and I have to take it easy for a while. I am feeling great, but am not allowed to do anything, so the restlessness has set in and I turned to the computer. I shouldn't really complain because I have been blessed with so many people, family and friends, who have all spoiled me rotten these past 11 days. I have received so many gifts, flowers, cards, food (lots and lots of good food), and phone calls that I am humbled. My hubby and kids have been especially wonderful in taking care of me. My youngest son, who is not very fond of hospitals, rarely left my side for 2 days while I was hospitalized, and my older son drove 6 hours each way with only 2 days off just to check on me in person. I am blessed and thankful.
I hope I have set this up correctly...it has only taken me ALL day!! But of course, you ask, what else did I have to do anyway?? So, if you happen to find yourself reading this blog, be kind with comments since I am new and remember...I guarantee nothing!

Glad to hear you're recovering and doing well. The blog looks great except I don't understand why you have the outdoorsssssphotossss.net as your favorite link.
Do take care and let us know how you're doing.

Steve's Girl,
This is a wonderful first post!!! Way to go!! I think that you have a lot to say and am always interested to hear ...and now read all about it. =)
Hey, you had surgery on my birthday! You should have checked with me first. I would have asked to eat cake on the 16th and wait for the next opening. ;-)
Big {{{{HUGs}}}} and speedy recovery. You must be miserable under restriction! I think that the blog is a fantastic way to spend that time, just don't stop blogging when you are 100% again.
Take care,
darlene
Thank you all for your kind remarks and encouragement.
Dee, Take care of yourself and give Ed and Nick a hug for me.
Jim, Quit picking on my kid and go take care of all your babies!
Darlene, You are very sweet. Happy belated birthday...wish I could have been there, but I slept through most of it. :)
Thanks! It would have been great to have you here on my birthday! I hope that you are feeling better each day. I'm looking forward to the next post!

I'm glad you have a blog...FINALLY! I really like the picture of Lucy, and I think you made an excellent choice for your favorite link. :)
By the way, Jim. I tried going to
outdoorsssssphotossss.net, but it didn't work. Perhaps you have a typo in your address. You know it's your favorite website!
Say hi to Lucy for me, Mom. Love ya.

Thank you Kykers. Lucy says "woof" right back at ya!
Maybe Jim needs a new keyboard from Santa; it seems that his 's' key is sticking!
