And now we're on Facebook, too!

Well, Pam and I finally did it. We joined the countless others who are now up on facebook.com. Pam had commented to me that more and more of the people she knows are using FB to keep in touch and she wasn’t sure if she wanted to do that or not. I really did not have much desire to get on the FB bandwagon, but that was mostly because I didn’t know much about it. I already have about a half-dozen sites I use to keep in touch with my music friends and I didn’t see the need to add one more place for me to write blogs and post pictures of my interests. But, this past week, one of the discussion groups I follow was going to migrate some of its operations over to FB and from what they had to say about it, I started to change my mind.

I discussed it with Pam and then decided to take the plunge. Pam followed me about a day later. So, now we can keep up with everyone through our FB pages as well. Pam has been enjoying how quickly her friends list is populating over there. She still has more friends than me, however I don’t see this as a contest to see who can amass the most friends, but rather just another tool to keep up with people we care about. So, if you’re on FB feel free to pile on, if you are so inclined.

From Bluebonnets 2009

We took the kids out for photos in the Bluebonnets today. The crop is disappointingly small this year. We drove around for a long time before we could find a patch of them that was worthy of pictures. A place we have used in the past was too overgrown with tall, dry weeds and the other places that had good concentrations of the flowers were on fenced, private property and we didn’t have the gall to invite ourselves in for a quick photo shoot. So, we ended up at a patch where we had photographed Abby back when she was a toddler. There were fewer flowers, but they looked pretty good for our purposes. David enjoyed his time in the wildflowers, too. He got sad when we had to go back to the car. I put the best of the photos up in a new album on our Picasa Web Album page, called “Bluebonnets 2009.”

Hope you enjoy the photos. Thanks for checking in.
