Fun Monday

It is Fun Monday--I tell all about it below and it will explain why all of these idiotic pictures are here!!



























It is fun monday and this is the topic: (there may be a gap here--I'm having problems--see down further)






"Now, the reason you're here: the topic for Fun Monday on 14 January. I want to hear about a web site and not just about any old web site. I want to hear about a web site that's changed your life. A web site that you can't live without. A web site whose inventor you'd like to see win a McArthur Genius Grant." it is hosted at http://forthelongrun.blogspot.com/ . you may have to go to her Jan 9 th post to see the other participants. There are over 50 I think!




The blog I can not live without is http://shiningmaiden.blogspot.com/ .Why?? It is of my first grandchild (and a second one is due to follow in July). Since they live a distance from me, this is the way I get updates and see movies and pictures of my little wooo .




Only Grandma's and Grandpa's will understand this driving need to see constant updates of their grandkids! Also that blog is what got me started on blogging and therefore that in turn has been a rich blessing of creative ideas, encouragement, fellowship and knowledge. Thanks ya'll.

  2. What a gorgeous baby! I think that a whole lot of bloggers got started that way. Ree over at the pioneer woman started her blog so her mom could see pictures of her kids.

    Great post!

  5. Great answer!! I know when I had my first child (my mom's first grandchild) all Granny wanted to do was see him!! Thankfully we live in the same town and she had a job where she could come visit almost every day. It was the happiest time in her life. :)

  7. Very sweet post. I love it. And I have a sliver of an idea what it's like to want updates. The Internet makes it so much easier to live on the other side of the world.

  14. That might be the cutest, prettiest baby in the world! How did you get her to look sideways like that in the first picture? That was adorable.

  20. Your pictures are so cute. And what a great website for you to keep up with your grandchildren. That was a cute picture of you with her.

  21. That is great! I keep a blog on my grandson but it's not only for him to read when he can read ;0), it's for his other grandparents in other states. Babies are wonderful!

  22. I love family members with blogs I can appreciate even as just the auntie.

  23. What ADORABLE photos!!!! The one with your granddaughter looking at the chicks is PRICELESS. She's absolutely beautiful. :)

  24. That grandchild of yours is absolutely precious!! No wonder you're so in love with her.

    I don't think there's a blog type thingie I can't live without except maybe our private family forum that I share with my mother who lives in NY. But the one webpage site I can't live without would have to be Biblegateway.com which helps me research a full scripture I have in thought.
