So many of you have been an encouragement to me in my blogging "journey".  I started with a family blog.  A lot of my family lives so far away that I thought it would be helpful to blog about things happening in our lives.  My friend Lori helped me get the blog going.  Thanks, Lori!  I then started this blog...hopefully to be used to encourage others to enjoy taking care of their families...and to have fun doing it.  Boy, was I surprised...those reading the blog ended up encouraging me!  This has been such a blessing.  So...

First time for everything...
