Welcome to my blog! “What about this?” is a phrase I frequently catch myself saying, because I’m always thinking of ideas. Like this photo and the photo header above, both of which I took at a Chihuly glass exhibition, I wish this blog to be a bright and colorful record of my thoughts, ideas, and endeavors. Although I intend to post about some of my favorite topics – food and creative projects – I will also include posts on style and fashion tips, ways to help others, and basically anything else that pops into my head! Pretty random stuff, but sorry that’s how my brain works.
What about me? Let me introduce myself. I’m Linnell, a fifty-something-year-old woman, who is a wife, mother, former dental hygienist, community volunteer, and part-time sales associate. I put my husband through graduate school more than three decades ago and today he is a successful professional. Hooray for him! Making the decision to be a full-time stay-at-home mom was easy, but raising three children was the hardest job I’ve ever had. I love my kids, but hooray, they are all out of the house now! I’m ready to embark on the next fifty years of my life. It’s my turn to discover all that I can be. Want to come along for the ride?
What about this? 
Beautiful job Linnell! I look forward to following along with your random thoughts. It’s a very exciting time as you re-discover who you really are. Keep on keeping on!
Linnell,
Love your blog so far..I think that is SO cool!!!! I am basically nosy, so this is my kind of fun..see what someone else is up to! You are so creative you’ll have loads to talk about! Keep it up!
I am going to be virtually craftsy/creative via you, Linnell! Keep it up. I’m going to figure out how to do a feed every week for your blog. Hey, look what happened to Julie/Julia Child!!
Yep, white after labor day. Women “of a certain age” cringe at the thought. But I agree that it could be a matter of fabric! I’ll have to go to my fashion consultant at Chico’s and ask her to deck me out in white for the winter!
