Welcome Kells

I'd love to have a Kell family gathering!! Much easier said than done to say the least. High gas prices prevent too much travel (especially if you have to hit every casino along the way), too much going on with kids and activities, who would accommodate us crazies, etc. etc. What would we do at a family gathering? Share stories, memories, pictures, talk sports, politics, discuss the war. All this while eating.

I have a very simple solution to our family gathering problem....

Create a blog.

Now, this is my first blog. I plan on it being a very successful blog...Betty will be in charge of advertising. We'll discuss that later. Being my first blog, I don't really know what I'm doing so I just threw some pictures in the right column and of course the ever present 'cast your vote'. I figure we'll just figure this thing out as we go or I can find some 9 year old to show me the ropes. One of these options will save some of my pride.

I first entered the blogosphere while recovering from surgery earlier this year right in the middle of the heated Democratic primary races. The first blog I commented on was on a site like this, a blogger site. To make a comment I think I just had to sign in with my email address, create a password and then give a user name. It was very easy and it EMPOWERED me. It was all downhill from there...I was even telling Wolf Blitzer how it was. Anyway, please pass this blog site on to family and let me know if I have given the right directions as to signing in and leaving a comment.
