About my Blog. . . .

One of the first things I do when I get up so early each morning is to check the blogs that I follow. I love doing it and it keeps me connected with my family whom I love so much. I had been thinking for several months that I would like to start a blog. Since the blogs of my daughter and grandchildren keep me posted with pictures and narratives of the people and events that are important to me in my "now" life, I have decided that my blog will be stories from my life as I was "Growing Up Ina". I am hoping that my children and grandchildren will enjoy reading them and that the stories will preserve for them a rich heritage of people and places. Perhaps, even making them laugh and cry (heaven forbid). I am not going to try and do this in chronological order which would take the fun of spontaneity from it, but rather I will write it as a particular memory creeps into my mind and into my heart.
