As I see It is an orange and yellow Blogspot generic template that did not seem all that inviting. A bit stark and plain. The page background however is white and the fonts large enough to be easy to read. In the sidebar I found Link sections including such things as, books the author is reading, lists of favorite TV shows, favorite web sites, and a 20 things about me link.
I read on the About page that our author is a 40 something happily married homemaker living on the east coast of the U.S. with her husband and college aged daughter.
This blog has been in existence only three months, but there is an impressive collection of entries and more than enough for me to get an good taste of her writing style and the direction.
What I found was a woman who is profoundly content with her lot in life. A homemaker par excellence, in an age when such things are not valued as highly as they once were. This creates grist for some nostalgic writing. She also writes extensively about her Christian faith and quotes often from the bible. The entries are uplifting and introspective. She writes about longing for simpler times and has determined to keep those times alive in her personal domain.
In one of the most recent posts she is playing Pollyanna’s “Glad Game” with some changes brought about by the installation of a new carport and the resulting diminishment of light into her kitchen. And I recommend to you the entry of September 17th “June Cleaver With A Twist”, as a good example of the tone of the entire blog.
I enjoyed my visit and may stop back by for a peek now and then. But I leave you with one more thing. DO check out her “My Photos” link. Here you will find a window into not only her home, but to the simpler, gentler times that she so obviously values.
