Welcome to my new happy place!

I have always felt the need to express myself in writing. In many ways, I am verifiably old-fashioned, nostalgic to the core. Especially when it comes to the written word. I have accepted this. I prefer paperbacks to e-readers, love the feel and smell of real ink against paper, dream of adding a vintage typewriter to my office décor. Maybe that’s why I hate the word “blog,” although I guess that’s what this is.

To be honest, I am not yet sure exactly what this is yet or what it may end up becoming – a place to share old photos and family history discoveries, somewhere to ponder the world and my place in it, a way to feel connected to the past.

Whatever it is, whatever it becomes, I hope it will remain a happy place for myself and others to go – to discover the past, embrace the present and dream of the future.
