Hi everyone!  Well, I did it.  I created a new blog, and a new email address (which will not be my primary email address, so use the other one if you really want to get a hold of me.)  I will still maintain the other blog (which will be primarily about my family) which offshoots from my other email address, as well as create another blog about life and widowhood which will be completely public.  Still working on the privacy settings for the other two blogs.  Thanks for your patience and for reading/supporting me in these endeavors:)  I have a lot on my "plate" and a lot on my mind and I look forward to this journey into the world of blogging.  Please read along!!!!!
