In A New Place

Well, I’ve finally done it. I’ve been telling myself for quite a while now that I would start to blog.  I should start soon. I should start tomorrow.  Well, tomorrow has finally come, and so here I am.

I live in the celebrated Sweetest Place on Earth, Hershey, Pennsylvania. My three grandchildren live nearby. I truly am a grandma in the Land of Chocolate.

After spending my youth in a Philadelphia suburb and my married years in historic Bucks County, my recent arrival here is opening a new chapter in my life. Although I enjoy living here and meeting the friendly folks in the area, I sometimes get homesick for the friends and family members I left behind.

Writing this blog will be therapeutic for me and I hope it will be interesting for all you who take some time out of your day to read it.  I’ll be writing about the journey that has brought me to this place in life.   I’ll be writing about the things I’m passionate about.  It will certainly be a mixed bag. I love books, and music, and food, and the Philadelphia Phillies. I play in fantasy sports leagues. I’m an amateur historian, and gravestone photographer and transcriber. I have a profound respect for our military veterans and for those who made the supreme sacrifice for freedom.  I’ve done volunteer work, singing “the old songs” in a V. A. nursing center. I love to laugh. I have lots of opinions. These things, and more, will be  topics I’ll be talking about here.

Welcome to my blog.
