Thursday Thirteen

This is an amazing blogging world. Through this experience I have met a blog sister who was born on the same day in the same year. This is a first for me and has been such a delightful gift. My new blog friend Roban is an excellent writer and she teaches eighth graders to write. We have had quite alot of fun comparing notes this past week. There are at least 13 similarities between us so I am participating in Thursday Thirteen! Please visit her site and tell her Avtcoach sent you!

Thursday Thirteen

I am intrigued by this new world I have discovered through blogging. There are some amazing blog sites out there. On a daily basis I find new sites designed and written by people who have such creativity, insight and express such a joy for living. One such place for surfing that I found this week is "Thursday Thirteen". I was looking for post ideas and decided to try this site.
