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?

  3. You 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.

  4. Hi Darlene! I love your daughter and can't wait to get the know the mom who reared her!

    "Stupid" should, perhaps, be replaced with "nervous, excited and ill at ease". Each of those will work well for you.

    Welcome to Blogland!!

  5. 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

  6. Sure 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! :)

  8. Welcome to the crazies, Darlene! Nice to have you sticking your toe into the blogosphere.

    PJ took the words right out of my brain. Nothing merits stupid. NO THING.

  9. 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!

  12. 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!!

  18. Congratulations 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.
