Testing the Waters...

I got a call the other day from my cousin who wants MY help in setting up a blog. I think I can do it, after all I did set this one up a year and a half ago. She lives across the state from me so my idea is that we get online, get on our phones and walk though the process. She is taking a BIG chance asking me to help, but I foolishly think together we can figure it out!
When I talk to Arleen, it's like we are 10 again. She was the closest I ever came to having a sister. Summers at my Aunt Joy's had many perks, chickens to feed, a horse to ride and my cousins all nearby. She was so much fun to be around and still has that quality about her!

I probably have forgotten the "gliches" along the way, but Blogspot walked me through the whole process. Backgrounds, widgets and slidebars...ShareThis, Feedjit and Playlist, if it was as simple as a click, I could do it. If the directions sounded too technical, too risky I didn't add it. Kind of like life, I just stuck my big toe in the water and tested it first.
So, we're going "swimming again!"
Wish us luck!

  1. Joycee, Your blog is beautiful and I am confident you can help your dear cousin get one up and running. I was lucky, my daughter who is a Graphic Designer set mine up for me. I am lucky to have her come to my rescue on anything computer related. I have a friend whom I love, and consider her my sister, in Australia. I just finished answering Coleen's letter that was in my e-mail this morning. Her Mother and my Mother were best friends. We were born two months apart. We don't see each other much, living so far apart, but phone calls and letter have kept us close these 67 years. You girls have fun :)
