As some of you know, I have gotten wayyyyy out of the habit of writing posts here. But recently it occurred to me that I should have been making copies of each of my posts as I went — instead of looking at copying almost 1,000 of them now.
Soooo, as I started copying them (and actually enjoying reading them again), I decided that I would post the ones I copy again, as I make the copy. We’ll see how this works. I may even slip in an original once in a while.
I started this blog in September, 2007, at the strong suggestion of my daughter (If you know her, you know how “persuasive” she can be — read that “pushy”). But as it turns out, she was right — I’m so glad I got all these stories down. Thanks, DD.
Here is post #1.
An Introduction to My Mother
My Mom is a funny lady. She is hesitant about starting a blog but I know she will love it as soon as she gets a few comments (don’t forget to leave one). Mostly she is truthful except everything she writes about me which is a complete fabrication. She drinks (tea) way too much. Actually, if she would have a real drink once in a while she’d think blogging is a terrific idea.
She lives with my Dad in retirement bliss (his entire family is within earshot). They’ve been married forever and are the only happily married couple that I know. Okay, that’s a bit of an overstatement…..they are the happiest married couple I know.
Growing up with a funny mother has lots of advantages and one disadvantage — the funny is contagious. Here’s hoping you enjoy her wit and charm as much as I do. I love you Mom.
You’ve definitely had some past posts that bear repeating every five or six years.
Your lovely DD is indeed persuasive, as evidenced by her enticing me into the blogging world, too. You’re right about the copying. One at a time is much less challenging than hundreds at once. I started a project like that with my own blog awhile back, but my enthusiasm waned before I got very far. Time to get back at it.
Well, read “L” as “Linda.” I guess I got tired of typing before I finished my name.
Thanks for the encouragement, L … I mean, “Linda”.
I missed you!!! Please come back… Your perspective is so great!! Encourage your daughter, as well. She is missed as well!!
What a great introduction!
Your daughter is a funny lady, too.
Oops, I forgot to say how much I agree with you about printing them off from the start. I didn’t do that either, and even though I don’t have 1000, there are still a lot.
(And speaking of re-reading, t’s not very pleasant to come upon those grammatical errors in my old posts, but perhaps it will stifle my urge to be such a Grammar Nazi to others, meaning: I should get the log out of my own eye first.)
