Lost and Found

I was looking to see if I had Google Sites available with my personal email address when I rediscovered I had a blog.  lol  It seems every few years I'm going to rediscover this.  It shows how much time I actually spend in front of a computer when I'm at home.  I have pretty much given up Facebook because it is such a time suck.  In the process I've taught myself to crochet and have made blankets, rugs and purses.  We also have been fixing the house up.  Now that I work full time at Augustana I don't have time for a lot and spending it on Facebook is not how I want to spend it.  And I thought I was busy homeschooling.  That is nothing to having a full time job. I may sit at a desk all day long, but it drains me mentally and physically!

I was reading my past blogs to see what it is that I wrote about and noticed there were 30 grand kids and soon to be 7 great grand kids.  We now have at least 30 great grand kids...not me, but my mother in law.  They would be my grand nieces and nephews.  My kids are pretty much grown up now.  My youngest will be 13. Two still in college and the rest are living in the real world now.  Michael and Bonnie have been together 3 years and Danny will be getting married June 13, 2019, to Elly whom he's been dating for over 5 years.  Joe is in Chicago living the dream.  Caity is in Guatemala right now.  (She is spending 3 months living with a family and doing an immersive language course.  She is also teaching English to employees at a weaving cooperative in exchange for weaving lessons.  She is making scarves for everyone for Christmas.  She comes home December 9th only to go back in January.  When she returns she will be volunteering at a special needs clinic.  She has been applying for grad school.  She wants to be a bilingual therapist.) Andrew and Lisa are still at Augustana College and Michelle is at Williams Intermediate in the Special Education program.  (She has been participating in Penguin Project the last two years.  Last year she was a whoville citizen in Suessical the Musical Jr and this year she is a Gazelle in Lion King the Musical.)  My kids will never see this but, no, Caity and Michelle are not my favorites because I went into more detail on them. lol

I was wanting to create a website to hold all of our family traditions and recipes, but I'm not sure a blog is the format I am wanting and I do not want to do it using Google Sites from my work email - ha! I will have to research and see if there are any free places to develop websites.  If I remember (lol) I will come back and let you know what I discover.   Hopefully, it is not that I have Alzheimer's!
