Imagine!!!! I actually have my own blog now, thanks to my sweet patient daughter Sue, who walked me through the whole thing. Dick isn't sure why I ever needed this, but at least I am going to have one. I guess I can have a blog and never write anything in it, but I think that will not be the case with me. As I get a little more familiar with this new thing in my life, perhaps I will become a regular blogger, who knows.
In the meantime, now I can access the blogs I want to read more easily. It is still hard for me to believe I actually am now an official blogger. At 83 years old, I guess I can be forgiven for being so stupid, or at least feeling stupid in creating this blog. Now all I have to do is to get Dick to try to put a picture of me where it is supposed to go. I may just have to remain faceless as he was not too happy about my doing this. He never wanted to blog and I think now he feels that he has to find out all the things I don't know so that I won't have to call Sue every time I have a problem or a question.
At any rate, all I can do is try, right?
I think it's fun that you have your own blog, Mom! How cool is that? You are totally with it!!
ReplyDeleteAnd feel free to call me for help any time at all.
Love you.
=)
PS. And you are anything but stupid!
ReplyDeleteYou are being generous, Sue. I will need help in doing my complete profile. I don't think anyone will be reading it anyway, so maybe I'll just leave well enough alone.
ReplyDeleteHi Darlene! I love your daughter and can't wait to get the know the mom who reared her!
ReplyDelete"Stupid" should, perhaps, be replaced with "nervous, excited and ill at ease". Each of those will work well for you.
Welcome to Blogland!!
Welcome to blogland Darlene! I love Sue, and was so excited to hear that her mom had started her own blog. You'll do fine. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature. And this is coming from a gal who declared the coming of the PC and the end of the typewriter era the end of civilization as we know it haha. Kat
ReplyDeleteSure you can! My Grandma was totally into emailing when I was in college. She beat me to it. She's not around anymore, but I'm sure that if she was...she'd be blogging like crazy! Welcome to blogland! :)
ReplyDeleteWell Welcome, Sue's Mom!! I sure enjoy reading Sue's blog and would love to check in on you.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the crazies, Darlene! Nice to have you sticking your toe into the blogosphere.
ReplyDeletePJ took the words right out of my brain. Nothing merits stupid. NO THING.
Starting a blog at 83 says a lot about you Darlene; that you are willing to try new things and aren't stuck in a rut. Good for you. I bet you'll have fun!
ReplyDeleteMy dear sweet lady...do not call yourself 'stupid'. This Ozark Farm Chick is just so very impressed that ya'll started a blog at all. You are a role model to us all sweetie!!!
ReplyDeleteGod bless and have a wonderful day from the chilly hills and hollers of the Missouri Ponderosa!!! :o)
You go girl!!!
Darlene,
ReplyDeleteThis just goes to prove that it is never to late to try something new. I hope your blogging experience will be as satisfying as mine has been.
Congrats and Welcome.

Hello Sue's Mom! (Darlene!) I'm a big fan of your daughter's writing talent and she obviously inherited some of it from YOU! Your first post on your brand new blog is just great! Do not fear! None of us know everything about blogging and we ALL were beginners at one time, too! Definitely do not call yourself stupid! (PS I don't just like Sue's writing, I like HER, and I've never even met here...other than here in Blog Land!) Have fun writing and blogging and enjoying the New Year and the New You!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blog land. I'm really looking forward to learning more about the woman who raised Sue. I've would love to read about your every day life.
ReplyDeleteHi, congrats on getting your blog on-line. Who cares if you're only just getting up now... the thing is that you got it up! Hooray for you! And hooray for us who get to read it! Thanks for raising such a lovely daughter. She's awesome.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hearing what you have to say!

WHAT? You are going to share all of your humor and insight with someone other than family? That is awesome, just like you! Love You Lots
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blog land! I am looking forward to reading your posts. Sue is precious and I know you are also, being you are her mom. 83 is a good age, my hubby is 83. Have fun with your blog! Hugs
ReplyDeleteJust adding to the love fest over here. You've commented on my blog a few times, so I'm returning the favor. Welcome!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and welcome to the blogging world. Being a blogger is like being a modern day columnist--the only difference is that we "employ" ourselves and our medium is the internet versus an actual paper.
ReplyDelete:)
Welcome to the blog world! :)
You remind me of my mother who got a college degree at age 50 and then a Master's at 55!!! She was an adventurer and finally author! I think you are spunky like that!! Have fun blogging!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue's mom! Happy Blogging Day.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the wide world of blogging! I am so excited to meet you and learn your about your journey through life. Kuddos to you for entering the wide world of blogging!
ReplyDeleteYes you can try and welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. Where it seems most of us share and care. Isn't that a blessing?
ReplyDeleteAdd me as another person grateful to know Sue, and looking forward to getting to know you better.
