Grandma Henke

Since I officially became a “blogger” I have found some fun places to hang out … almost like hopping in the buggy and going for a quick visit.   

One of my favorite new friends is Alice of Wintersong.    She made me laugh in Living in a Religious Theme Park … aka Salt Lake City, and I just keep going back for more.     I agree with her … we Utahans are a peculiar people.

I was drawn to Rockbridge Times because of one sentence she wrote in her profile:   “Just turned 65 and am making this a time to begin working on things I’ve set aside for decades.”   Boy can I relate to that.  

Islandwriter captured me simply because she is a baby boomer like me … and a published author (unlike me) … and I like the things she has to say.   I like her statement “I may disagree with what you say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it.”    My friends and I have a similar understanding;  we “agree to disagree.”

I like to go to Suite101.com because they have good information and blogs for and by seniors … which is my category.    They feature different authors and blog sites and have a good index of other places to visit.  “Here are some good blogs from seniors and about seniors.”

I got a big kick out of John Perry’s Structured Procrastination and check in there regularly to read.      He even has cool Apparel I may order some day … if I get around to it.

My daughter has a cool blog that I’m not the least bit prejudiced about.  She is the mother of 3 and is working on her 4th and has a good perspective of life from a different vantage point … one I have long since passed through.   Times have changed, but motherhood hasn’t.   I like her advice from  her six year old, Luca.

Her husband, Brett, is the blogmaster guru … He helped me get this site up and has encouraged and heckled me to keep it going.   A lot of his blog is technical stuff … he’s one of those “geeks” I love so well.   He gives good advice … like on Google vs. Microsoft  Live Search.

Son, Warren, has a cool site full of photos and philosophy … and various contributors.     He has completed a book he is seeking to publish.   He has the first chapter on his site … see for yourself what you think … that kid has promise!

One more son, Ryan, is in to music … he writes and records.   He is very talented and has done a remarkable job of putting together his own little studio in his spare time.  He is almost finished with his first CD … you can hear his music from his site.
