This is my first official blog. I feel so 21st century. I think this must be how my parents felt when computers were first introduced or they tried voice mail for the first time. I'll be very excited if my words and picture show up in the same place! I love the idea of being able to post my photos and thoughts on the web for my friends and family. It seems so easy. Now, since we currently have no human children, I thought I should post a picture of my furry children. These are 8 of the 16 paws in our house. Some people collect china, some people collect cars, we, as it seems, collect animals. We love them like children and as I am sure it is with children, we often wonder what we talked about before we had animals!
