Welcome to "A Frog's Life!"

So people, I thought I'd give this blogging business a whirl. My summer has come to an end and what better way to welcome the new school year in than starting something new and different. So here goes...

Hi there! It is the first day of Septmber, just one more precious day of vacation before school starts on Tuesday. I've been inspired to try a blog, mostly by reading Jessica Guthrie's. She's funny! I met her this summer, she organized the shopping bus trip from Southern Calif to Provo, Utah for CKU. I enjoy reading blogs, I love writing, spelling not so much, so bear with me. I hope you enjoy a little glimpse in my life.

Dh, aka Nevin, is watching Fox News in the other room. I must tell you, we have a "mixed marriage", he is a Republican and I am about as liberal a Democrat as they come. Politics are always a lively topic around here and this election is no exception. For the first time, let's just tackle the controversial topics first, I'm not sure who I will vote for. I watch and read a lot and I like both canditates for VP, just not thrilled about my choices for President.

My family is meeting for a Labor Day brunch in the instead of the usual barbecue so my nephews can be there. They are busy later at a birthday party for one of Elaine's kids. (my first friend I've mentioned!) I'm going to make a pasta salad. I'm good at those.

I am the oldest of five girls. My folks live right across the street and no, it isn't like Everyone Loves Raymond. We are all really different, well I think so, but things are generally pretty smooth. The bad thing about living across the street is that my parents' house is beautiful and their yard looks like a park and our doesn't. It needs work and we have a PODS parked in our driveway which probably isn't too pretty to look at. We're used to it.

Happy Labor Day!! Robin
