Today is my "birth day" as a blogger.
Mark the calendar, Wednesday, March 21st, 2007! The 1st Day of Spring and the birth of a new blogger. I guess we should thank my sister Diane, being she had to walk me through the set up. You will learn more about my sisters as I develop this site, but Diane (the oldest of five siblings) helped me through more than setting up this blog site, she helped walk me through life. Without her, I would not be who I am today.
Let's see if I can find a photo of her for all of you to see. I can probably find a photo, I just don't know how to post it - let's give it a try.
I did it! After 3 hours of trying to make it work, I end up with this photo. She's there - do you see her? Just to the left of the pole, laughing at me as I begin to get knocked around on the para sailing boat - just before take off!
And we're off! Can you hear the screaming?
Diane is in this photo also, see her - she's at the front of the boat with the camera up to her face?
She wears that camera like a charm bracelet!
It's always with her!
Okay - enough about Diane.
I also have a sister Doris Lynn (she goes by Lynn) - so if I cross over between the two names, you'll understand my confusion.
Oh my big sister Lynn...she had a wonderful time on our "Girls Weekend" in Marco Island, Florida earlier this month (check out Diane's blog for more details - her link should be on my blog home page). Having never been on a plane, seen the ocean, or located a conch shell with an actual animal living in it - I must say, it was a blast watching her see/experience these things for the first time.
I have evidence of her enjoying her time on Marco Island, or should I say above Marco Island.
That big white thumb in the lower right hand corner is ME - hanging on for dear life as I para sail one handed and take a picture with the other. OMG - do you see how high up we are?
Look behind my sister Lynn, you can see the curvature of the earth - we were up so high! Over 1750 feet to be exact. What a rush!
To see Lynn smile like this is amazing.
The beauty of Marco was breath taking. We left Minnesota at 7:30am on March 9th and 3 hours later, we found this! Isn't flight grand?!
I'm having way too much fun blogging, thanks Diane.
Until next time... make it a great day!
NBL - nothing but love
