Part of me would love all the latest electronic gadgets but they are not cheap. Again I have plenty and try not to put a high value on things.
Where the cows, people and a lot of deer intersect!



As I said in an earlier post, we've had a lot of rain. I walked around in the backyard yesterday and saw various types of fungi everywhere.
I realize my posts are a little heavy on the football but that's a big part of our lives at the moment. Our son's team won their game Friday night in the first round of playoffs 63-14. Saturday App went to Elon and beat them therefore winning the Southern Conference Championship.
The good part (and it can be viewed as the bad part) is when App plays at Elon, they have a great place for us to park and tailgate. However it is about a mile walk to the stadium. So I not only got to watch an awesome game, I got in 2 miles of walking.
A view out back. It is dreary and soggy. We have gotten soaked from the remnants of Hurricane Ida. We are waiting to hear if the first round of the state football playoffs will go as scheduled tonight. The field at the high school was under water yesterday. Several games have been postoned until Saturday.
Blogging trends aren't the only thing changing. If you have followed my blog for at least a year, you know going to Appalachian football games was a big family event. This season is not working out as I had hoped. The kids have lost interest as well as having schedule conflicts. I feel game day Saturday has become a puzzle - 4 pieces representing each family member, trying to make the puzzle fit and all work out to be one nice picture.
My husband and I still wish to be at The Rock in Boone but don't want to force it on the kids. Some Saturdays our son is visiting other colleges, attending games and thinking about his future. There are times he is just tired from his own game the night before. (His team is in the state playoffs!) Our daughter is developing her own life and interests. As frustrating as it may be, it's all understandable.
November is NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). Bloggers officially sign up and agree to post everyday in November. I'm not participating though I do appear to be on a roll this month. I did NaBloPoMo in 2007.
Blog posts are more detailed. I think of them as my journal. I like to put up the pictures I take. Most of my friends in my area do not know I blog. However now I do consider many of my fellow bloggers as friends. I've met several of you.
Facebook is a way for me to reconnect and communicate with my friends - the majority are local. I share the most about my family on this site. I do not have a link to my blog on Facebook nor do I mention it. I use to consider myself a 'secret blogger'. Honestly now I don't think I'd care if my secret was out.
With Twitter, I can vent. I can have brief banter with others. I can visit Twitter when I have the time or stay away for a while.
What forms of social media do you rely on? How do you use them differently?
