My First Blog!

Good Day!
After reading blogs from others, I decided that maybe it would be a good thing for me to try this. I like the idea of having a place to record my 'Little of This and a Little of That'. You see, I have interests in many different things. I LOVE to craft. I just wish I had a magic wand for such mundane things as laundry, dusting, dishes, meals... I knit, scrapbook, bead, sewing,gardening, surf the net for research in health topics (my dd has health problems that no doctor seems to help with), and the list goes on. Kind of a 'Jack of all Trades'...you know the rest.

I am married, 33 years, have three daughters (two soon to be 31 and one soon to be 28), a spoiled kitty, Mirage, and 4 grandbabies. We winter in what we have called home for 30 years, and summer a whopping 15 miles north of there. We like to say we go south for the winter! Home is in the middle of the woods. Summer is on the shores of a beautiful lake. All of this is in the middle of Michigan.

We are raising our eldest grandson during the week. He goes to school at our little K-8 school here. He is in the 6th grade. His class has both 6th and 7th grades in it. There are 15 students in his room! D has had many problems with school over the years; a lot of his troubles come from his stepdad. He is a brillant child and has ADD. There have been great strides since September. He still has many things to work on. We are very proud of him. He has been a pleasure to have around...and a lot of work! I am not used to raising a child like this again after the years of not raising children.

My plans for this blog are to:
-track my projects
-notes on family
-and who knows what at this point!

So this is the first of it all!
