The Mundane and The Memories

When I started down this blog road I had a flood of things to say and memories that I felt needed memorializing.

This all materialized over the winter and into the spring, which coincided with a new "Christmas" computer, and availability of easier internet access. I tip-toed into Facebook and fell soon thereafter into Skype and the blog thing.

Wanting to follow directions/suggestions I have tried to say something fresh on the blog daily. I have nothing to sell and no terribly dramatic stories or adventures to titillate a throng of readers.

What I do have is hacked-up memories of my life growing up in Rochester, NY and a rather positive outlook on living a considerably ordinary live. Oh, I also have a habit of looking for a way to find a  dry irony (I prefer to call it humor but many would argue differently) in almost everything.

I also have a tendency to blurt out these thoughts for whatever cheap laugh, pursed lips or raised eyebrow I can get. It makes me smile and, more recently, makes me just start giggling like a school girl at myself before I can get a word out.

I really hope for followers, readers and family to roll on the floor laughing and "get it",  but I may have to settle for being my own best (and almost only) true fan/stalker/paparazzi. I will try to be true to my roots and not just write a word or two because its the next day, but only write something with a message (I use the term "message" quite loosely).

For my loyal family members and possible friends who happen to check in now and then ~ Thank You So Much!!
