Hello and Welcome

Hello and welcome to my first attempt at blogging! I am so excited to finally be up and running. With wonderful encouragement from friends and family I am actually beginning a journal of my life and interests to share with you all. Mostly this blog will be a combination of everyday life, crafts, decorating, holidays, books and recipes. Please be patient as I am a newbie to all this. Thanks! I look forward to old friends and new friends alike coming to visit and sharing what I hope are things you will like seeing.

First let me start by introducing my family. My husband Dale who I have been married to for nearly 23 years now is a chief electric lineman for a local power company. He loves his job and is very proud of the work he does but it also means he is gone a lot too. I have learned to be very independent when needed. My kids Dale, Jr. 20, and Brittany, 17 both live at home . Dale, Jr. attended electric lineschool hoping to follow in his dad's footsteps but is still waiting for the right opportunity to come along and currently works for a major cable company. My daughter Brittany will be a senior in high school this fall and is currently searching for the perfect college to become a secondary English teacher. We all live comfortably and happy together in our small log cabin on the hill.
