Blogging Day 1...for better or for worse

"Birds do it..." so let's give blogging a try.

A recent article in a college magazine told of five or six alumnae bloggers. The year of their graduation followed their names. '98, '06, '99, etc. The youngest was class of '75. Horrers! an Ancient!

I like a challenge like that. I was class of '52, otherwise known as the dark ages. Did you read the poem "When I am old I shall wear purple" that stated the writer's independence? Well, I don't wear purple (my husband only likes it in flowers), but I do enjoy a few independent thoughts to cast on the waters, and look forward to seeing what input comes back.

As the blog's name implies, we have learned "How to grow poor gracefully." At least we think so. Our old friends may be horrified at some of our lifestyle changes, but so be it.

I usually dream about some contentious problem just as I'm waking up. So, now while I go make dinner, I'll start jotting down some topics for tomorrow.
