Well, I did it! I created a blog page for our family- incredible! OK, it wasn't as hard as I thought, my younger cousins were right...don't tell them though! When did I become this old lady who isn't caught up on the latest technology? Wait a minute, I don't think I have ever been caught up on the latest technology, whew! Still not old...

My goal with this blog is to keep whoever is interested caught up on our family's wanderings around Europe. Our daily lives in MN are not so interesting to merit a blog, but who knows, maybe I will love this style of public journaling and keep it up when we get home. Or maybe not...

We are t minus 3 weeks to leaving for a 10 week trip to Europe. Exciting! But I have a lot of packing to do. Consequently, I haven't done any. Typical.

I will spend the day shopping for stuff we need to bring with us, maybe that will inspire me to pack. We'll see. However, my folks remember fondly how Jim and I packed at midnight the night before we left for a year-long European trip. Proof positive that last-minute preparations and procrastination really do work.
