Well, I'm new at this and not a youngster! I'm not sure what I am supposed to be doing here, but here goes my first attempt at blogging. My name is Terry and I live in Minnesota. I enjoy writing--both as a career and a pasttime. I first decided to try this after reading my nephew and niece-in-law's blogs. They are quite clever, and serve as an inspiration to me.  They live in Connecticut and have cute kittys on their blogs with even cuter names. I don't have any pets currently, just a large assortment of children and grandchildren. However, they are very cute and bright and talented---just like all children and grandchildren are. Although I live in Minnesota I love to travel and also spend time in warm climates during Minnesota's coldest months. Hopefully I can include photos of faraway places in my blog, along with recommendations of what is especially memorable about these places. Stay tuned. More to come.
