You never have any fun if you just sit on the road and watch.

That's what I always say when we go snowmobiling - and it's true. You can always wish you would have gotten off the road and into that powder where no one has gone - but you can't ever go back in time and do it. So you just need to do it.

That is the way I feel about this blog. The first one I looked at was my niece Lori's - when she first started it. It was a great way to see how she was doing and how her family was growing. Then over the weekend I talked to Carrie, my nephew Robert's wife, she had started a blog - so I got her and Lori's blog addresses so I could go and and see the pictures of their families. When I got home I checked them out and thought what a great idea - but where would I start if I were to start a blog - my kids are all grown up now.

This morning I decided that with my blog I would share with everyone the Best Years of Our Lives. Todd and I had a lot of great times with our kids as they were growing up and now we are on the second leg of our journey - Grandkids, snowmobiling, horses and living so close to most our family. Although there are parts of our family that are far away - Alaska, Colorado, Idaho and Ohio (? I think that is where Lori is - she's hard to keep up with). Then there are all the friends that we left in Washington. What a great way to keep in touch.

So here goes - hopefully Todd and I can keep up with the page and keep our family and friends updated with The Best Years Of Our Lives.

"sitting on the road" isn't too much fun, but we have to pick our activities according to how much we want to hurt at this point in our lives!! I have learned to like hiking...and some fishing...so that I don't sit back and miss out. Jerry on the other hand just cannot get into shopping at JoAnn's...he doesnt know what he is missing.
