First Blog for me
Posted 08-06-2010 at 06:20 AM by CSD610
I must admit this is the first time I have even looked at a Blog let alone written one so my apologies in advance if I fail to follow specific protocol, guidelines or rules.
Today is a busy day for me for a few hours anyway. I have a friend moving to Fayetteville, Arkansas from Granite City, Illinois. My first chore today is to go and pick up the moving truck with her. She has never driven a 26' moving truck with a tow dolly on the back and I refuse to drive her mini van so it works out well for both of us.
After that I get to come home and mow the 2 acres I have to mow that is in desperate need of attention. An outpatient procedure on July 16, 2010 has kept me off the mower until today because of Dr. orders; I'll be glad to get back on the mower.
Is this how a Blog works? I am just not sure however, I guess I will find out if anyone actually reads the thing and let's me know if I have done anything wrong.
I suppose I should get my day started since the drive to my friend's house is 60 miles one way for me and I need to shower and take Walter (my hound) outside for a bit before I leave.
More later~~~~~~~

Judging from what you did, that's a pretty good start. Basically, with blogs, all you have to do is write a journal. That's the purpose of blogging. You just pick a subject (hopefully appropriate
) and start writing. Much of what I write here comes from personal experiences. We do have an abundance of writers here with a variety of subjects, and a lot of the things we have here are really good. And then there are others who come on here without a clue of what a blog is. But in your case, you came to the right place. Just write about your experiences and be sure to follow the blog rules. From there, you'll be just fine.

Thank you for the vote of confidence; I have been writing in a journal almost daily since it was an assignment my freshman year in English. I thought at the time it was pretty stupid but as I got older and wiser it has come to be not so stupid after all. Finally home after the big day out. What a story to tell from that adventure. I am certain every graduate of the "Moron's are us" school of driving was on the same road I was traveling today. Twenty six feet of U-Haul truck with about six more feet of vehicle tow dolly behind me and the race was on. The interstate looked like a parking lot with road construction slowing everyone down. It took approximately 35 minutes to drive 3.5 miles and that is only part of the story. I am wore out and all I did was drive that truck from the U-Haul company to my friends house. Oh well, thank goodness there are naps involved in one's day if they want one.
