May 19th - 5 of your favorite blogs and why.
Funny thing is that even as I like to write a blog myself, I do not usually seek out blogs to read. My favorites would be family blogs so in alphabetical order here they are -
My daughter Caitlin's blog Adventures Down Under at caitlinboreyko.blogspot.com
This blog was more than just interesting reading, it was a connection to my far away daughter. It was a way for me to have the adventure vicariously through her. I have wanted to go to Australia since I was 10 years old and the TV show Skippy The Bush Kangaroo was on, but realistically I doubt I will ever get there. This was as close to a dream as I could get.
My nephew Jakes blogs - he has several but mainly Jake Hikes and Bikes at jakehikesandbikes.blogspot.com - Jake is another adventurer who just gets out and does it, something I have never felt I was good at. While I don't aspire to do some of the things he writes about, crazy mileage hikes and bikes, I admire that he does it and he writes in a very entertaining style.
My son Jonathan's blog Rooted at jboreyko.blogspot.com
I enjoy reading Jonathan's blog because he tends to present a side of things that I have not thought of, or do not necessarily agree with, and it makes me think. Reading his blog helps me get to know him better, and figure his point of view. It also helps me feel closer now that I do not see him very often.
My sister also has several blogs that I check from time to time but she keeps changing or adding blogs and taking breaks from them so it makes it difficult to keep up! I loved her little horse blog but it has been a long time since her last entry at thelittlehorse.blogspot.com. She also has a blog called Learning As I Go at truckstuck.blogspot.com. I also enjoy her facebook page called The Robin Makes a Laughing Sound, after her book of bird poetry and sketches in journal style.
My daughter in law Shanda's blog Sought After at hesoughtafterme.blogspot.com
I am fascinated to read Shanda's blog because she is the woman who captured my son's elusive heart when he set standards so high we never thought he would find anyone who could meet them! Shanda is also a very good writer, and she impresses me with her candor and lack of pretense when writing about herself.
Other blogs I check out from time to time are
Defining Your Home, Garden and Travel at definingyourhome by Freda Cameron
Deb's Garden at debsgarden.squarespace.com
And although it doesn't technically appear as a blog, it reads like one - Anne Lamott on facebook
She is such a good writer and interesting person.
