This blog is created to allow me an outlet for various thoughts and rantings, recipes and miscellaneous meanderings that come to mind.
I admit to being a person of many interests. I cannot pass up a bookstore without walking in. I cannot watch C-Span's Book-TV without wishing to read the book discussed.
My family has always been interested in Politics, and the conversation at the dinner table was often about local politics in Alabama. I support several political organizations and have worked on several democratic campaigns.
Even though I confess to being an atheist, my Judeo-Christian childhood calls Biblical verses to mind whenever they seem appropriate. I support a Universal-Unitarian Church monetarily to a small extent. I have trouble with some of the tenets professed by the "Apostles' Creed". I admire John Shelby Spong, retired Bishop of Newark, New Jersey.
I study the American Civil War, and I will be installed President of my Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War, 1861-1865 January 2007. It will be my second time in this office. My Great-grandfather Potter was in the Wisconsin 1st Light Artilliary and the 89th Illinois Infantry. My grandmother's uncle Lt. George W. Seaman was in the Confederate Army. I've lost track of him after his trial for horse stealing in Lewis County, Kentucky in 1865.
My dog is a retired Champion Papillon bitch named Wildways Pentangle Pennyroyal. She has been with me since June 2005, and we have a lot in common: two retired old ladies who like a certain amount of exercise interspersed with naps!
Now that I have created this blog, I hope I can find it again, and add to it.
