I guess blogging is kinda like keeping a journal, which I am not the greatest at doing. I have probably written in 20 pages of a journal during my entire life. I know that there have been many great experiences that could fill thousands of books, but I have neglected to do that for myself and for the generations that follow.
Just this week I have finished reading a book that has been compiled about my Great Grandfather, Philip Bender. I never got to meet him, yet through the memories of others and some journal entries that have been kept, I have learned so many things about him, and those that were a part of his life. He was a great man and I may blog about him later.
I hope that this may become a kind of journal that family and friends can read and comment on, and then as my children get old enough, contribute to and look back on and be grateful that I cared enough to do it. I am sure they will they are girls, and girls tend to appreciate things like that.

A bit about the choice of the background. I believe that life is all about growing to reach our potential, while helping others in the process. I often think about ways that I can improve myself, and have been pushing the boundaries recently and trying new things, developing new talents. It has been fun, I just need to relax and sing a little louder.
I also love to spend time in the garden. This year was the first year that I have had my own patch of soil with which to grow a garden, and a great garden it turned out to be. I am all pumped for a bigger and better garden this year, and hope that we can share our produce as others have done for us.
