June 26, 2014

Over the last year or so as I have gotten into photography, I have been told I should start a blog to keep as a ongoing "record" per say of what has happened with my pictures and my day.  Tonight as I sit with my grandson Daylin and watch "Adventure Time" for the millionth time I have made the decision to start a blog this summer.  As I sit here and try to think of how to start, I find that it is really hard to write an opening, a start, to this blog adventure.  I think I need to just approach this day by day to see what develops.  

Tomorrow morning Jerry, myself and Daylin are heading back to Illinois for a family reunion.  Its funny how I have not lived in Illinois for over 2 years but I find that I always refer to it as home just as I refer to Arkansas as home.  Will this ever change?  Will there ever be a time when I do not think of Illinois as home...or will it always be this way as I have children and grandchildren there and not here.  I have however found a new and unique life that I had never thought I would have.  I find that I LOVE living in the woods and forest that is Arkansas.  I love the wildlife, I love the lifestyle, I love the simplicity of my life here.  I do NOT miss the stress that my life had become in Illinois.  

As we ready for our road trip, my house is such a disaster!  Why is it that you think you know everything you need to take but in reality when you start packing, the amount of "stuff" doubles in size.  Really...will I use all this stuff?  How will all this fit in my little car?  Really!!!?!!!  The sad part of this trip will be that Daylin will be staying in Illinois, our month of fun is over.  The upside, and I am sure more adults can appreciate this, is that we will NOT be subjected to Cartoon Network!  How awesome is that!  Cartoons are so overrated! 

Well for a starting entry I think I did okay.  I think it will be a very different experience writing in a forum that will not have the feedback that you have from Facebook.  This should be a very unique experience that I hope I am up to the challenge!
