Post #2

In case you're wondering what I've been reading, they're two completely opposite books. The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a bleak look at the future. It's well-written and all, but be prepared for vivid descriptions of grayness and the things desperate people may do in the case of a nuclear annihilation of the human race. (Well, maybe it was just an asteroid that hit the earth--he never says exactly.)

My church book group chose The Ultimate Gift, a quick read describing the 12 keys to a happy life (as long as you don't get caught in a nuclear war or maybe get in the way of a stray asteroid). They were both thought-provoking in their own way.

Edited to add: Since you 3 readers are lucky, Elise broke into my blog and posted the pictures for me!

The Beginning

This blog is just to let all my readers (I believe there are 2 or 3 of you) know that I am finally beginning my blogspot. Step 1 is figuring out how to post a blog--which is today's task. Step 2--posting pictures--will have to wait until another day. I'm not even thinking about posting videos at this point.

Today is a gorgeous day in Idaho Falls. If I were to Step 2, I'd post a picture of the azure sky. But since I'm not, you'll just have to use your imagination. Greg and I are feeling the beginnings of becoming empty-nesters as Allison is in Pocatello with Kristie for the day. I made a very nice dinner for 2, we completely cleaned the kitchen, and it was only 2 o'clock! What to do with myself??? Oh yeah, figure out that blog thing . . .

I'm going to sign off for now because I can see that this would be much more interesting with a few illustrations. At least the two of you know you have something to look forward to in the future.
