I’m sharing recipes and tips on being frugal while polishing up my photography and creative writing skills. There’s an occasional spiritual discussion, a book review here and there, and probably more pictures of my dog than are strictly necessary. It’s part chat with a girlfriend over a glass of sweet tea, part conversation overheard in the grocery store checkout line, and part Thanksgiving dinner with the crazy branch of the family.

Revisiting My Very First Blog Post

I'm excited about the SITS "Back to Blogging" Event that starts today! Each day this week has its own assignment, and today's is to re-upload your very first blog post, and re-write it if you like, doing a little "before and after" critique. I was hesitant to even look at my first blog post since I was sure it was something amazingly stupid and I would cringe in embarrassment, but it's actually OK:

Jack's loving Camp Shakespeare! They are performing "Romeo and Juliet" on July 3, and he was SO worried he would have to do an "gross" love scene, so he was very pleased to find out today he has been cast as Lord Montague (Romeo's father)- WHEW!Spaghetti Carbonara for supper tonight - fast and frugal and everyone loved it.

No picture, but I figured out how to include a link! And it's brief, which is something I need to get back to. I'm WAY to long-winded sometimes. This post brought back memories of when John was still Jack, wasn't yet a 'tween, and wasn't interested in girls - sigh. And I haven't made Spaghetti Carbonara in forever - need to fix that again soon. Hmmm, and apparently my font was larger - when did that change? Should I go back to a larger font size?

By the way, meet Thelma and Louise. They will go home with one lucky participant in the SITS Back To Blogging Event, and I think they would be happiest at my house. In fact, I am prepared to repaint and replace the flooring in my pantry / laundry room just to make them feel comfy. Here are the people responsible for Thelma and Louise: Standards of Excellence, Westar, and Florida Builder Appliances. I don't know who the genius is that came up with the idea to manufacture these in that perfectly gorgeous shade of turquoise, but I hope they got a big bonus!

I would have loved to have gone to a Shakespeare Camp when I was a teen. I was active in theatre and such in high school but in the summers there wasn't anything like that offered.

I'm super excited to see your new design and re-branding when you unveil it. Be sure to announce it on the BlogFrog community when you do!

Isn't it weird to read our first words as bloggers? I started blogging in 2007, and wow, I feel like a completely different person! Stopping by from SITS. Happy Tuesday!
