Well here it goes, I have my first blog post. And I am already stumped of what I should be writing.

Have told you a bit about myself already, see the side about author, but I guess I could tell you a bit more.

Before I forget, Happy National French Fries Day - no it really is- check it out!

As I said I am recently retired and loving every minute of it! Have been learning to garden, and so far so good, things are still alive, some don't look that great but I did say I was learning. Will follow-up with pictures when I figure that feature out.

I work on-line doing editing as a part-time gig, gives me some of my own money, girl has to have wine, right. My husband is awesome but I don't think he would fully support my love of a good wine. Will have to find out if I can list those, I don't see why not. Maybe I will have to have a section of my Wine of the Week. Or Nettie's Wine Korner. I like the spelling.

Also learning to cook again. When my three wonderful children were growing up, they are going to read that comment and get a good laugh, I was a full-time stay at home mommy, and loved every minute of it. Well back in the day, I made everything that went into their cherub little faces homemade. Poor little beggars didn't know what a store bought cookie was until they went to school. I wonder which they preferred? So back to cooking I am, and trying out all kinds of recipes that my job never allowed me the time to do. There we go, might have that going on too. Nettie in the Kitchen. I make a mean Cajun Chicken! Really it is burnt, but I won't tell if you don't.

So here it goes, this will be my day one, and of hopefully many. Have been wanting to have a place that I can share and complain and view all at once. I think I have found it!
