My first post

I'm a newbee. New to blogging. I have actually only read one blog my entire life and that was just about 3 or 4 hours ago. But I liked it and thought I'd try my hand at it. I've called it musings because I don't plan on sticking to any one particular subject. My interests are varied and I have a short attention span. I also think I have a lot to say even though not everyone wants to listen. I have a large family and this may be a way for everyone in my family to keep up with what's going on. I have a large circle of friends too who don't all share the same interests. So sometimes, new postings will be of interest to them and sometimes they won't. That's just the way it will be.

I have many "loves." Besides the obvious ones like my husband, kids and grandkids, my loves include quilting, embroidery, reading, gardening, road trips, and cooking.

My husband, Joe, and I have been married for 20 years. A milestone we thought necessary to celebrate and did so by taking a road trip down the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway just last week. I have about 200 pictures, some of which I'll post in the near future. We have 5 children and 2 granddaughters and a 4 year old lab named Scarlet, which is fitting since we are Buckeye fans.

We both have to hold the 9-5 job to support all our habits and hobbies. He loves old cars. So most of our road trips are taken in the cars he and our sons have restored.

I love fabric - lots of it. Quilting is a passion for me. I might be considered a newbee at quilting since I've only been playing with fabric for about 7 years, and I have so much to learn. But I enjoy the project I work on in class and will try to share those as I go through some of those classes.

I don't know who is going to read this and I'll be interested to see who responds to my "musings."
