A Look Back, my first blog on Google.

February 20, 2016 6:35 pm / Leave a comment

Introduction

Today, February 20, 2016 I did a historical look back to my first blog. Sunday, July 6, 2008 was the day and it was when I was a Google Blogspot user. Last year I switched to WordPress. As of this writing I will have posted 188 Blog Posts. I’m proud of that number. I’ve had slow writing spells along the way. When I slack off my family seems to boot me in the ass for a little motivation. I’m on a pretty good roll at the moment.

Mary Agnes and I recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary back in November. We have thee children, Nine grandchildren, One in heaven parading as an Angel and three great grandchildren.

We were on Martha’s Vineyard when I posted this blog, visiting with our son Matt and his family. Wife Beth, children David, Keven, Jill and Rebecca would keep us entertained for our week of vacation.

At the same time, the oldest daughter of our oldest daughter’s family was starting her first year at the USAFA in Colorado Springs. What I did here was share the Vineyard with the Academy. Just no real direction in my first blog. I’ve been told I still have a tendency to do that. That granddaughter in Colorado is Samantha, graduated now, soon to be a captin and the mother of three. She is married to Zed, anothe USAFA grad and an E-3 AWACS pilot. The kids live in OKC and are stationed at Tinker, AFB.

After 188 blogs, I just wanted to share my first with you. Thanks for following the Rooster.

Feel free to take a gander on Blogspot for some old history at thefidd.blogspot.com/

Off to the Vineyard.

Just a great day with Matt, Beth and the kids. They are so accommodating to us old folks.

Went to Nancy’s in Oak Bluffs for dinner, had a Dark & Stormy, Gosling’s Black Rum and Ginger Beer with Lemon, visions back to Bermuda in years past.

Had a great day up here at the Vineyard. Went to Tashmoo beach, very remote. Took Jill out for her 7’th birthday and had Pizza for lunch. Matt Granny & I were with the kids this AM doing some crabbing with squid. After an hour the squid really starts to stink. And what did we have for an appetizer for dinner, calamari!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s Sam’s Schedule for tomorrow, Duck. And I don’t mean the Outer Banks.
