ONE YEAR OF BLOGGING:My Family

One year ago today I started posting my thoughts for all to see. To be honest, I didn't think I'd make it one month let alone one year. I've been amazed at all all the encouragement I have gotten since the first week. I just started posting about the things that I know about. |One of my frequent topics has been my family. My readers have gotten to meet my wife, son, daughters, sons-in-law, father-in-law, and mother-in-law.

I've posted about one birth, one wedding, and WIXYjr going to college.


Now it's time to once again meet my family.




Holding the youngest grandchild is my wife, Kathy, known also here as Mrs74WIXYgrad. Our other grandson is sitting to her left.

In the left hand side of the photo is our daughter, Martha. Sitting next to her is our granddaughter. Martha has occasionally posted in the comment section as WIXY jrette the 1st.






Next we have our daughter Sylva, who had taken photos for the blog in the early days, standing next to her husband of a little more than two months, Eddie.






Our son, Adam is pictured to your left. Probably the one I've written about the most. Known here as WIXYjr.







Our other son-in-law, Kevin is in this picture on your far right. At the left is Don Foutty, one of the owners of the Rittman IGA, a business I've written a fair amount of posts about.








Rounding out the family post are my in-laws, Eddie and Ella Jean Bowyer. As everyone can see, Eddie is doing fine since his stroke last November.






And me, you can see my photo at the upper right hand corner of the blog. And if you have read the blog the past week you know what my name is.

You have a beautiful family Cliff. Congratulations on your first year of blogging. I've only been on board a few weeks but it's been an enjoyable read.

Love the blog. Been reading it since the beginning. I have told you many times how much it inspires many of us on a daily basis. I am thrilled to see it has brought others in contact with each other. You have shared the world with us all. Bless you Cliff! And bless that family of yours. Keep on writing, keep on posting!

Do me a favor, you haven't written a fried chicken blog for some time. You know how much I enjoy the chicken!

All the best...WZZP (formerly RIPJoelRose)

Long weekend coming up. I might have to go to the old stomping grounds and try some of that Rego's chicken you rave about.

Or I might go to Liquid's place for some southern fried chicken-naw they're cattle ranchers.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
