Our daughter has insisted that we have a blog. She has a wonderful blog and sees it as a must for keeping everyone in her circle of friends updated. Our son, on the otherhand, fears that we will become like those bloggers--of which there are apparently many--that have one post on their site and never go further. So, as you can see, the jury is out but we love a challenge. We won't be equal to Miriam, but we may surpass other hip people our age. We're wondering, do any of our friends even have a blog? We'll see.
When our children were in high school they made new friends who we enjoyed having in our home. When they were in college we looked forward to roommates and others who followed them to our place for a visit. Now that they're adults with families of their own, we continue to enjoy the fun and interesting people they bring to our home. This summer we enjoyed hosting Michael and Stephanie, native Texans, when they joined Andrew and Sarah for a road trip to Missouri. More recently, Alex's friends (Gareth, Chantel and Gabriella Bickell) from Zimbabwe/ South Africa (currently living and working in St. Louis) joined us for Christmas.
