First Post:  January 5, 2014
This is my first blog ever.  I decided to do this just to document some of the events of my life.   It is not so much to have amazing insights, or scandalous details.  My Grandmother Murry kept a written journal for many years and I wish we still had them.  She would document some of the things she did that day, cook, laundry, visit with friends, play cards.  She would often comment on the weather and other routine daily happenings.  I hope to do the same.  I may not do this every day or even every week but just want to see how it looks at the end of this year 2014.  I also have some general goals for myself that I want to track and this seemed to be a good way to be more accountable for those if to no one else but me.

I am currently living in Lancaster, Ohio.  I have been here since 1998 when I finished medical training as an Infectious Diseases doctor.  I also do wound care and work at the local Hospice.  I am married since 9/22/2012 to David Dagg.  He has a counseling private practice in Carroll, Ohio-Nameste Counseling and Consultation.  He started it in August of this last year.  We are very happy and hope to build a home out on 15 acres of land near Baltimore Ohio in a few years.  We have four dogs, Dot, Marco, Bailey, Baxter and one cat-Hobbes.

Today is very cold and we are expecting snow and wind.  We are working on several work projects today.  I am hoping to try a new recipe for eggplant Lebanese Eggplant Stew.  Will let everyone know how that goes.  Its made in the slow cooker.  Its laundry day at our house.  All the dogs are laying around keeping warm and napping.  Hobbes is checking out the tree in the front yard for birds.
