Brain Lint. A Bloggar site. Hmmm, has something changed at Bloggar? This page looks better than the last one I visited. I like the two toned green scheme. It’s simplicity is soothing to the eye and puts the focus on the entries where it belongs.
For some unfathomable reason, on the current entry page the side bar doesn’t seem to have enough room, so it loads way down below the last entry. But on the archives pages the side bar appears in its proper place. A small adjustment will probably fix this.
I checked out the 100 Things About Me link and found a humorous and informative list where I learned that our author is a High School English teacher (for 25 years no less) and lives in Manitoba Canada. She is a published author and has a scan of the check to prove it. (I thought this was cute.) Our author has been blogging here since May 2003.
I decided to begin at the beginning and headed for the archives. Most of the entries are essays about the author’s childhood. A theme that continues throughout the blog, though in recent times, she writes more often about current events in her life.
Her writing style is casual and mildly humorous. Very readable and I found myself being drawn in to an interesting and varied compilation of memories. I recommend this entry in particular, May 23, 2004 in which she tells us about her father, and how he coped with life under Nazi occupation in Holland. Worth a read.
I had a great time visiting here. If you enjoy reading memoirs, this site will delight you. Check it out.
