Welcome to my blog!

I have now officially joined the world of blogging with help and encouragement from my daughters (which when I say "daughters" also includes my daughter in-laws -- the same applies to my son in-laws). It is my hope to keep my friends and family up-to-date on what is happening in my life but more importantly to serve as an electronic journal. I am a miserable journal writer. I understand the importance of keeping a journal but that doesn't mean I have kept one. Having been strongly prompted to do so, I decided that a blog would be a fabulous format to use to act upon that prompting. In addition, I am using the learning process as a Personal Progress Value Project (more about that later).
