I started my "Journal" on Monday, July 23, 2007. This past Thursday was the 2nd anniversary and I have posted 279 entries over this period of time. Two years = 730 days or 104 weeks. So I average two or three a blogs a week.
I started out putting down things I wanted my grandchildren to know about from my early childhood, living on the farm and growing up. As they call it, "the olden days". I have such good memories of that period of my life. As farmers, we didn't have a lot of money but we didn't have TV to tell us that we need "things". Somehow we always had everything we needed and that freed out mind to enjoy those things we did have. School was a lot of fun and we never wanted to miss a day. Church was the center of our social life and VBS in the middle of summer was so much fun.
After I ran out of things to talk about on the farm, I started recording things about our children and their lives. Then I talked about places we have lived and traveled.
I've had a hard time writing my blog since our son James died on Feb. 2 this year. For 52 years he has always been by my side and I've taken care of him. We miss him so much.
The past few months have been more about daily occurrences, trips, happenings, etc. rather than my past.
My first blog was about going to WW and losing some weight. Guess what... I weigh about the same as I did in July 2007. I think I am healthier maybe but I can tell I am aging. I will be 3/4 of a century old come November.
I think that will be a good subject for my blog - to show how I have changed (aged?) over the years. Keep watching for this; might take awhile to get the photos scanned. I will do this especially for my granddaughters.
