In the Beginning...

OK. So I'm at the home of some special friends who have four wonderful children whom I dearly love. The topic of starting a blog comes up. The third child, the older of the two boys, had recently started a blog and I innocently commented on how great it was that he had done so. So he says, you (meaning me) should start one. And I say, yeah, I've been meaning to; especially since moving 2,000 miles away from them and other friends and family a year ago. So he says very enthusiastically, I could help you!

I am given a seat in front of the family computer by this soon to be fourteen-year-old young man and watch as he whizzes through the creation of MY BLOG. Before I know it I have a blog with a nice little picture with kids and flowers and some of the basic info inserted PLUS links to some of my favorite blogs. Then he says, again very enthusiastically, that I should send a message to their, my former, pastor saying he should come check out my new blog! To my dismay he starts doing this very thing FOR ME while I am sputtering and spitting an equally enthusiastic, not yet! It's not ready! Wait until I've gotten a chance to tweak and polish, and, and... TOO LATE! It's done.

So, to my dear former pastor and any who may stumble upon this new blog of mine BEFORE I have a chance to tweak and polish:

Welcome to EVERYTHING'S ROSIE! I hope you'll visit again and if you do, hopefully you'll see a growing, flourishing blog that would not have been started if it hadn't been for my mentor, HUNTING FOR THE LIGHT.
