I do not know how to do this yet, but I will take a step into the dark. The intention of this blog is to record and make available to our family the love that Carolyn and I have for each other. At times, it will be silly, at others probably quite serious, though I suspect silly may prevail.
Intend to make it available for comments and suggestions, but don't know how. If you are a family member, you know my email address, and are a friend on facebook.
