First Post

Hello...

We just met, and I'm not sure what to say.

And since you don't know what to say either...well...I'll start by introducing myself. :)

I'm Lindsey Cochran, a home schooled, almost-fourteen-year-old girl and the oldest in my family. I have four brothers and one sister, and our wonderful mom and dad. We also have two dogs, two cats, two goats, and lots of chickens.

This is me, with Beulah, our 'puppy'. She's about seven months old, and suppose to get bigger (she's part Great Pyrenees, if you're wondering.) I was trying to take a picture with her to show how big she was, but she wouldn't quit licking me and my sister could barely get a good one.

I'll be the main writer here on this blog, but my mother may post here and there, and who knows?...my brothers may want to add a bit of their opinion. It's a family blog, half for a journal to look back on, half for people of like mind convictions and similar interests. I hope as you read my posts that you are encouraged. You aren't the only one out there. :)

I really like to read and cook, and I'll write about that, but I'll also post about homeschooling, church meetings, gardening, family fun, taking care of animals...and more, probably, but I can't think of them all right now. :)

Well, I've got to run. Supper won't make itself. (Neither will those cookies my Dad and brothers are really looking forward too.) Have a happy week!

Farewell and blessings,

Lindsey
