How do you work this thing?

I'm still not sure how this blogging thing works, but this is my second attempt...  I am impressed with myself for finding it again! 

For my next trick... I will attempt to post some photos.  These will be photos I've taken along the way, and I shall choose random pics that represent me and what I think about...



Here, we have Wintry the ginea pig, and the day I brought home an orphaned duckling we found at the summer camp for disabled kids where I worked...

..and speaking of stray animals that I've brought home, who could forget Coco the dog, who died in my arms two weeks after we took her in, emaciated and alone in the world ...

 

...and, just one more animal shot before we move on...  This was the groundhog who dug his way under our front porch one afternoon while we were out.  I'll admit, this is as close to "wild" as I get, and I was pretty nervous!




 

So, I can see that this website will allow me to post pictures of anything I like and want to share, regardless of who I might bore to tears.  I don't have time to continue today, but I plan to get down to business real soon.  We'll see...

Everybody's doing it...

I am having a little competition with a friend...

My friend said she wanted to start a blog.  I have thought about blogging for a long time now, but my excuse for not getting started has been, everybody's doing it.  Anyone and everyone can blog now, and anyone and everyone pretty much does.  So, when my friend expressed that she would like to start a blog, my thought was, why not? After all, everybody's doing it!

(Please note, this was NEVER my attitude in high school!)

The problem was, for both my friend and myself, neither of us knew how to get started. 

Now, my friend is ten years younger and a good bit smarter than I am.  We both enjoy a challenge.  So, I challenged her to a race - to see which of us could figure it out first!  Here I am, the next day, and this, my first blog post is just a warm-up exercise to see if I can do it, and if I will be able to find it later...
