Yes... it's me...
Maija decided I needed a blog. And for those of you that know her, know that if she wants you to have a blog, then a blog you shall have. I spent a few days her recently and thought it was the cats or dogs that were sneaking into my bed, but no... it was Maija whispering her sweet blot nothings in my sleepy ear. Sort of like hypnosis doncha think?
Seriously... I was so blessed to stay with Maija while we both took a wonderful class which I will post about later. She is the most gracious hostess and I felt like a princess. Not a queen mind you, because that title is reserved for Maija! She has the most beautiful home and a lovely family! Her husband makes up funny names for people and brought out a telescope to show us Mars one nite! Her boys are very nice as well. The oldest was very friendly but had more important things to do than hang with us. I offered to go clubbing with he and his homies, but they declined... go figure! Her youngest is very bright and we spent time together discussing sports, religion and a bit of politics.
So... here I am in blog-land, flailing about not knowing what to do. I beg your patience while I learn, which as some of you that spent the last few days with me, know is quite a presumption on my part. Learning that is...
Since I am new and don't have a clue... (seriously... I did not mean to rhyme) I am going to try to insert a photo of 
somthing I made a while ago... bear with me folks!
Yippee!! You are here!
I love you and I wrote loving things about you on my blog!

Congrats Tanya!!! You know, this story sounds so familiar to me...you see Cindy Dean did the same thing to me! Well, except for the crawling in bed part but she does watch my house when I am gone so you never know there might be something planted around here! It was so fun to meet you and Maija, I just had the best time talking to you two! Keep up the good work on the blog...mine is still under construction and it has been almost a year :)
