What's this all about?

I'm an on again, off again blogger. I blogged over a two year period when my sons were deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, I blogged during the election of 2008 and I've blogged about cooking.  Blogging has been a part-time diversion for me.  Jan, on the other hand, has never blogged and never expressed interest in doing so....until recently.  A recently developed interest in Pinterest has exposed her to numerous blogs and given her an appreciation for sharing knowledge, skills and abilities with others.  During a recent weekend we spent at Smith Mountain Lake she brought up the notion of doing a blog together.  After thirty-five years of marriage we felt we may have a few things to offer to others.  We spent part of the weekend brainstorming a list of things we could share that may be of interest to others.  Much to my surprise, we're blogging.  Let's see what happens.  Hopefully we have a few things that you may find interesting.  Let's get started!
