Why?

So why a blog?

Almost everyone I know well (all 3 of them) is blogging. My son writes like he's been in publishing for years. As usual...excels at all he wants to do. My daughter-in-law, who blew me away, since she has hidden this talent for the 6+ years I've known her. My husband...oh yeah...he's not blogging. I think he'd rather clean the garage than write something.

And, of course, no one is going to read this, or bookmark it, or care. But what an interesting way to put thoughts into words. So I'll see what happens. See if I have enough thoughts to keep this up more than a few days. See if it helps deal with the pains and struggles of this temporary (thank God!) life. See if it helps to share the joys and accomplishments, even if only with a few folks.


So why a zoo?

For some reason, the word zoo pops into my head everytime I hear the seldom used, but somehow very fitting, GramCrackers moniker. Since this isn't a subject oriented blog, zoo seemed appropriate. Each cage holding something different from the last....some creepy, some intriguing, some beautiful. All different shapes, sizes, colors. Each appealing or unappealing to different people in different ways.

So why not?
