A Newbie at Blogging

Hello
This is my first time attempting to create a blog of my own. I find the blogs I am currently subscribed to a lot of fun to read and quite inspiring. It's fun to share our thoughts and opinions with each other. I would like to share with others what I enjoy doing in my little corner of the world, and look forward to hearing from others.

For my first entry into blogging I would like to share with all of you that I am a medical librarian, working at one of the larger community hospitals in San Jose, Calif. I really enjoy what I am doing, and at times would like to share some of my opinions about my daily routines in the medical library, as well as share some thoughts and "dreams" I have to make the library a better place - my little corner of the world.

I would also like to share my personal "corner of the world" with all of you. I really enjoy birding, but time limits me to mostly backyard birding. Nonetheless, I really enjoy watching the birds in my small urban back yard.

I have been married for almost 40 years, and my husband and I have lived in Denver and Castle Rock, Colorado. We have lived in Cupertino and now San Jose, Calif. We also spent a few years living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have thoroughly enjoyed living in all these places. I always find things to see and do, and enjoy returning to these locations. I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, where there is nothing better tasting than steamed Maryland blue crabs, seasoned with Old Bay seasoning.

As for my family, Dave is my husband -- we will be celebrating our fortieth anniversary in July. Dave retired early (at 62), and enjoys being a "house husband." More about him in other posts. We have a daughter and a son, who both happen to be living with us -- both are still single at 34 and 35 -- I do believe that is their choice. Our daughter is a church secretary at the church we belong to; and our son teaches math in a community college. More about them, too, in future posts.

As for pets, well -- let's see. My son has two dogs, both huskies. My daughter has two cats. And I have two cats. So that's a total of six pets in our household. We did have a husky until recently, but lost him to hemangiosarcoma back in April. Can you imagine having 3 dogs and 4 cats in one household? And especially since my son's two dogs don't like cats! :)

Here is a picture of Kodiak whom we recently lost. We only had him for a few years; we adopted him from the area's Husky Rescue group.
