When to delete a blog?

3 Comments

Tonight I was thinking about deleting this blog. How long do I leave this up for just anyone to read the last 15 yrs of my life? Especially in the earlier years. When I first started blogging (yes, I just said that), very few people knew what a blog was.
“It’s a what?”
“Kind of like a diary.. a journal, and you write it online for other people to read. And they have a blog, and you read theirs. And comment. Kind of like a conversation, only not.”
“oh.”

My Mom even started blogging. At one point she was one of the “oldest bloggers” around. She was in her early 70s and Time magazine even called her for a little interview. She was extremely proud of that and would tell people that she was “published.” She’s in a nursing home now. Blogging years later, through a sequence of events, she was confined to a wheelchair and couldn’t take care of herself. So she moved to an assisted care residence. We fixed it all up, very cozy, and she had her computer – her lifeline (besides me) and where she spent most of her time. Shortly after, it was determined that she needed more than they could do for her. She needed a place that offered more care and so that she could get intensive physical rehab. She didn’t improve with her PT and moved to the “skilled nursing” part of the residence… ya, this is a lot later.. tying up loose ends on this blog. Sounds weird… later.

Not “Happy Father’s Day”

Leave a Comment

So many messages posted on Facebook today, “Happy Father’s Day-to-all-the-dads-out-there” etc etc. What I didn’t see were any messages that were NOT “Happy Father’s Day” etc etc. I’m thinking it’s probably because most folks keep that sort of stuff to themselves, in the family, nothing to broadcast about. Although, I certainly know enough people on FB that post about EVerything!

Anyway, without really getting into anything myself, I have to post this little eCard simply because I think it’s hilarious!! and apropos!  :)

c’yall later, xo

House 50 years later

Hi guys. I guess if I’m “back” that means I have to actually write something in here, yes?

I’ve been cleaning up, weeding out, things around our house. We’ve been here 30+ years and as you can imagine, or have the same thing goin’ on by you, it’s a daunting task! I’m currently going through old pics… tons and tons of photos, starting with what my Mom had. I think that has been the most difficult, ya know? What meant a lot to her, and that she saved, doesn’t mean the same to me, soooo, had to throw away. Sad.  :(

Besides all of that, I came across a site that had my OLD childhood home photos on it – Zillow, Trulia – you know the sites. UNbelievable! It was a really weird feeling looking at the inside – at LEAST 50 years later!! oh my Lordy. What was the most fun though, was that a photo that was taken of my Mom & Gramma, with me in my Mom’s tummy, in 1954. The kitchen was new, house was built in 1953, and the recent pics I found are around 2010 – 2014? Hard to tell because there are no dates given.

Here are the photos I’m talking about…

New kitchen in 1954

newer version kitchen

200?

The 2 empty pics are the “current” photos… So weird.

Okee doke, that’s all I got today kids. c’ya later,
xoxo

Kitty is back!Hi, and welcome to the resurrected KittyKitty blog! It’s been awhile since I was here last – 2 years ago, and that was just one paragraph. Prior to that, it was the 2012 Presidential Election. Imagine that!! My lack of interest in blogging coincided with my use of Facebook. Surprise surprise. Now I believe I’m coming full-circle. Back to my *roots* so to speak. Started blogging 16 yrs ago and it was a big part of my daily routine. And it was fun. Unlike FB which is becoming a political pit to me. Yes, I know, don’t like it? Move on. Well, when it’s not as much fun any longer, why bother?

So that’s the scoop. If you’ve never been here before, why don’t you begin from the beginning. Who or what is a KittyKitty? Check it out! And keep visiting, I’ll be here, k? xoxo

Update & update

Hi all, and welcome to 2014 , at least for one more month. Can’t believe my last post was 2012? I stop in here periodically to update everything, but this time the updates messed up my sidebar on some of the category posts. Can’t figure it out, and is it really something that I want to spend a lot of time with? Not really. Not if I’m not doing anything in here. Oh well, maybe some day I’ll change themes or something. I designed this site with what was my very fav theme, but they upgraded to a new everything and they lost me.

So there ya go.

Again, I’ll you over on Facebook.
:)
