Blogging

OK............This is long ..........but, there is a point to all of it.

The only thing I ever heard about blogs were the creepy people

in there underwear in dark rooms spewing political

crap, that I didn't much care about.

Until this past Christmas when I bought Only Daughter Dawn

a cook book. I started reading it, but only got half way

when I had to stop and wrap it up.

So like a good Red Blooded American I bought my own.

"THE PIONEER WOMAN COOKS"

BY REE DRUMMOND

"Going Threw Life One Calf Nut At A Time"

At the end of the book was the comment Ree Drummond

has a successful BLOG. So I went on line to check it out.

"I was Hooked!

It Had Wit, Ranch Life, Kids, Dogs, and FOOD."

After about two months of reading Ree every day, it accrued

to me that there had to be other ranching, farming,

gardening and FOOD blogs out there.

( Yes......Two Months.....I'm a little slow).

Here are hundreds.

The ones I really liked I saved and lots of others I passed by.

On one site the words (create your own blog) came up

so i did. With no idea of what I was going to do with it.

S0...............now I'm here.

I think I have a good start and it looks nice.

99% of the photos are mine,one from Mom and Mexico

pics from Youngest Son Zach ( I was with them ).

Can't tell you how much I love reading the comments

you leave and will work on the spelling, but not going

to lose sleep over it. It's a work in progress

and the designing is the easy part.

What do you talk about ? What don't you talk bout ?

"Yes I'm getting there!"

The other day Ree had 10 points about blogging the most important

"Be Your Self"

A few days later another blogger started a post with and

apology, thinking she has offended her readers.

By the comments left, she had not.

I felt strongly about one of the comments and that

it pretty much summed up blogging for me.

"For whatever it's worth, I write my blog for me. I always love

reading comments if anyone has anything to say about what I

write, but I started it for me and it's always been for me.

I read other people's blogs in the same way. It's their life and

it's what they want to write about. If I don't agree with it, I

move on (If you have nothing nice to say then don't

say, anything , sort of mentality)."

So I make you this promise,

"I Will Be Who I Am, Good, Bad or Indifferent".

If you like what you find here, visit often and comment often.

If not, I hope you fined what your looking for.

Have a great day.
