Thank you all for your lovely comments and coming my way. I look at Marilyn's site and am so overwhelmed by what she does each day. Some day I will get there, just need to brush these corn tassels out of my hair and find my way. It has taken me months to get up the nerve to do this and now I see why. To expose one's self I feel there must be some substance worth sharing and I am not used to doing that.
Today I spent a large part of my day going over old pictures and their dates, places & people's names. Mom left us kids a couple of large boxes of photos, most unlabeled, when she passed away. I discovered two people in my family that had ALS (Lou Gerhig's Disease), that twins run pretty rampant, that brothers and sisters sometimes do not look like they belong in the same family, and there are several thousand Thomas Jackson's when I scan the old census records.
The temp seems to be dropping rather rapidly here now. We had a summer from hell with heat hotter than Texas for days on end, rain that turned everything into mildew and flooding from the Missouri River that almost managed to reach my backyard. Am almost afraid to see what fall and winter have in store for this part of the country. I have a roof and siding that were hit and ruined by baseball size hail. Waiting on the contractor to get to me and several thousand others.
Ramblings from the corn and soybean fields of Iowa. I am amidst this maze somewhere.

Good luck iwht your new venture. You'll soon enough find that it's addictive and you'll wonder what you used to do before!

It's easy to feel that you have to have done so much or have so special things to tell. And to compare yourself with other bloggers. Forget about that, and try to find your own path. It might take a while, but that doesn't matter. When I started blogging, it was mostly my thoughts I shared. Could never have guessed then that it would turn into a blog mainly about needlework and other crafting. Just don't be discouraged if you have a down period and don't write so much, we all do! Good luck with it!
