Bits and pieces

And the winner of the wet sweatpants contest is … me and everyone else who braved the weather today to run/walk/jog. Every time I saw someone today, I wanted to give them a high-five for being out in the pouring down rain and blustery wind.

My sister and my sister-in-law are my fellow Pickle Princesses. Every summer, we make several dozen jars of pickles – always lamenting we haven’t made enough. I love spending time with them whenever we get together – they are funny and creative. I asked them if they would be interested in writing for my blog once a week. When I talked to my sister, her answer was she wouldn’t want her name with it because she’s afraid she might offend someone, adding she can be too sarcastic. I disagree.

That is the challenge of writing a blog – there is a lot I want to say but I hold back. If I ever do say something that offends you, please accept my apology in advance. I hope my sister and sister-in-law will join me in the adventure. Because I believe they both have something to say that’s worth reading.
