Now that the political conventions are starting I would like to share one of my favorite quotes
"If you are not a democrat when you are young; you have no heart.
If you are not a republican when you are old; you have no head."
Winston Churchill

So much for becoming an expert blogger...The grandson that I am so eager to blog about is stubborn, and has not made his appearance - I have tried to post pictures of the other love of my life - Pip, our Australian Shepherd -and that hasn't worked...
And I am someone who likes to consider themself "computer savvy"! Not much in my life has seemed to go right recently though; so I shouldn't be surprised! My vegtable garden is a complete disaster this year - If I get the photo stuff figured out I have a great picture of my one cherry tomato (next to dime for comparison). Our yard is a mess, I have not had our annual garage sale yet this summer, and my porch painting project is nowhere near finished...
If you enjoy things like watching paint dry - stay tuned to my blog for more exciting adventures!! LOL :)

A Beginning

I am new to blogging - hope that this will turn into a worthwhile adventure! I started reading the blog of my son's girlfriend and then hopped from blog to blog - learning all kinds of things about all kinds of people! From this humble start I plan to learn how to post pictures, offer bits of wisdom and humor, and have a place to share my new life as a Grandma - which is due to start soon! I can only hope that my blog will be half as interesting as some I have read recently!
