First Post--this is scary

Okay, this is a scary thing to do, but Kristen has been a good example of journaling, and this is a good way to play at being a techno-whiz while spending time at the computa. She is going to show me how to put pictures in and make this look like I know what I'm doing. (now if I had only learned how to use the keyboard better...) but all of you reading this don't have to know how long it takes to type a sentence or correct all the typos that magically appear when I look up from the keys...so now I want to see what it looks like when I put it on the blog! (which will probably be boring for a while, although I am in a very good place to learn from my daughter...)

For those of you who are not yet aware, Kristen and her husband Aaron are living in Buffalo NY so that Aaron can attend dental school at the University of Buffalo, and he is almost 12% finished with the program...they came out here with our first ever grandchild, who is due to be born on or about December 9th. My fam and I came out to spend Thanksgiving week with them (Brian closed his office for the week before T-Day); and they (Brian, Phil, and Michelle) will head back to Colorado on Friday so that they can get back to work and school, etc etc, while I get to stay here and play GRAMMY!!! My plans are to stay, give support, fix meals, and hold the baby, so it's time to get with the program, baby Chase!

I will have plenty of pictures and stuff to put in this blog, so the time to learn is now. (Hopefully things will improve as we go along, doncha know!) Meanwhile, looking forward to the wonderful Thanksgiving meal we get to enjoy and the wonderful people we get to eat it with tomorrow at Dave and Melba's house. seeyabye
