Why "Mockingbird Hill"?

You may (or may not) be wondering why I named my blog "Mockingbird Hill".
#1 We have a LOT of Mockingbirds in our yard and we are somewhat on a hill.
#2 Years ago when Amy and Jason were small, we would take them with us to Lake Whitney for the weekend and for a week or two in the summer. On every trip we would sing most of the way there and we ALWAYS sang "Mockingbird Hill". It was one of our favorites.
#3  I love the words to the song, especially the chorus"..........it gives me a thrill, to wake up in the morning on Mockingbird Hill". I really don't like the nighttime, and I'm always thrilled to see the day break and the beginning of another day that God has given me "How my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill."
So there you have it - not very profound - but that's me.

A new adventure into "Technology"

Well here I am - out on a limb, trying out being a blogger and having my own site. All because my sister who is 8-1/2 years younger than me has her own beautiful website. I am trying to figure all this out and if I do, then I will write some stuff that you may or may not want to read. This is my first test.
