Welcome to my world!

I was 6 years old in this pic and could not be told that I wasn't already a fully grown woman with my own ideas and opinions. Too bad digi cameras were not around during this time--hence the really bad picture quality. No matter. I still loving looking at it. Things were so, so simple then and I didn't even know it. As the saying goes, "youth is wasted on the young."

When I look at this picture I think of all the names I've been called by my family over the years. Baby girl. Lil’ girl. Baby. Little sister. Those are some of the more endearing ones. Back then I was also called hot mama, spoiled brat and so on. I always observed when certain names were used and by whom.

Actually, I’ve always been an observer. Being the youngest of 12, one can imagine there has been much subject matter at my disposal. I could blog for years about my family alone. Fortunately for them, however, I have many other interests and experiences to share.

As if there aren’t already enough folks out here sharing their lives online, I’ve decided I might as well join the fray. I figure, why not? I’ve become pretty accustomed to being caught up in the masses anyway.

I'm hoping this little blog entertains, informs, inspires, educates...all those things and everything in between. So come on in and as we say in the south, sit and stay for a spell.
