Ramblings

Ok, I know that a water lily doesn't exactly look like me, or really represent me, but it's a picture that I took & one that I like, so I used it. Don't like it? Sue me. LOL. Oh, wait, maybe I'd better not put that idea into anyone's head.

We just had a 4 day visit from a very dear friend of mine & what a great time we had. We talked & ate & thrift-shopped & talked some more & ate some more; well, you get the idea. It's soooo nice to have really close-close friends to spend time with. She drove for 11 hours, each way, just to come visit & I thank her for that. As much as I enjoy riding, in the past few years I've lost all desire to drive (ride) any distances. Even stopping & making the trip in 2 or 3 days doesn't appeal to me. Old age setting in, maybe? Hmmm, there's something to ponder.

My brother is a photographer... not just any photographer, but a great photographer. Ok, I might just be a tad prejudiced but I don't think so... his photos speak for themselves. His step-daughter started a blog that I started reading a few weeks ago, then he started one & that's why I thought it might be fun. Problem is, I have trouble thinking of topics I think might be of interest, where they don't seem to have any problem at all. It must be a talent some people have that just isn't present when I want it to be. Maybe I need to think harder, but, golly, when you're retired, you just don't want to have to think that heavily. But, I'll try... honest.

Bye for now :)

Beginnings again

Well, this is going to be fun. I sat here & typed & typed & typed, clicked on 'save now' & closed the blog. Came back to see what it looks like & it's gone... nowhere to be found (yet.) I have a feeling it's somewhere out there in cyberland but it's showing me how little I know about what I'm doing, so it'll show me who's boss! Gotta love modern technology. Basically all I said earlier is that we've come a long way. Fifteen years ago was the word 'blog' a word? I'll master this thing yet.
