A Beginning -

I have had a web site several times before. Even back before the word blog became into being. I realized early on that to maintain a site up to date required more work than I cared to put unto it at the time. Now you would think after spending hours learning the HTML software of the time and more hours creating the site I would keep it up Not so, said I. For several reasons. Biggest reason is that life does not change all that much and when it does it's in a major movement, somewhat like an earthquake.  Second, when something does change it had been so long since I wrote about something that I forgot I had a place to write it. So, why now. Well, a family member turned us onto this blog site. Simple straight forward - so we'll give it a whirl.  There are a couple reasons to to blog. Foremost, to entertain. Why read anything if you do not enjoy it? Secondly, would be to keep anybody that cares about us up to date on what is happening in our life. With the latter there's a little leaway in the entertainment value. So, I read through a few blogs and there are some really talented bloggers out there so the bar is lofty. We'll give it our best. We recently married and moved to Germany and will be here for awhile. Thus, in the usual chronological fashion we'll start off with our stay (where is that dang spellchecker) in Germany.  Coming up we'll start off with our settlement into Germany. There are some lessons learned there.
