I started the bloggy-blog for 2 reasons. 1) because if I had a place to write about fun things I did… Maybe I would do fun things instead of being a couch potato and 2) because I wanted a scrapbook of my life to share with my nearest and dearest – prior to this blog I would write pages of my trips…. Always meaning to type it up and put in a book – as evidenced here…. It never made it to the finished product.
