I like Shellmo because....


400 miles from my home in Rittman, Ohio sits a log cabin in Gaylord, Michigan. That cabin is the weekend and vacation home of Shelley. She has mentioned that I have good taste in blogging friends. She should know because she's one of them.

Shelley is another friend I met through Jessica. Her first visits to me were over at my poetry blog, Whattville is on the Other Side of the Tracks. Cliff Note:That was a selfish plug. I found out after a brief investigation that "Shellmo" has three blogs: Building a Log Cabin, Birding in Michigan, and Northern Michigan Experience.
All three blogs tell the stories of her many interests and are loaded with excellent photos. All three blogs are also very popular, as evidenced by the comments she gets on all her posts. I hang out mainly at the log cabin.

As I mentioned when I introduced her to the bunch several months ago, Shelley and her husband, Greg are not only cabin dwellers, they are also cabin sellers. They can help you as authorized Hiawatha Log Homes representatives(unpaid plug) to own the log home of your dreams.

Her blogging takes us on many virtual tours of their dream home. There we get to see the love they put into the home and the love they have for nature. In the photo above is Shelley and her cabin cat, Marvin. She is also one of many on my list who fancies her feathered friends and has written a blog dedicated to them. But check out all the photos she has there as there is some excellent photography there. Shelley also has periodic giveaways for those who visit. Check back often

And if you go over there and leave a comment she promises to return the favor. She has made several new friends from those on my list.

But Wait! There's more! Before you complete your visit you have to go to Shelley's Nature Store. Check out the merchandise as you may find something you want to take home with you to show others that like Shelley, you have a love of nature. (That was another unpaid plug.)

I love Shellmo too...she leaves the cutest comments. I think we may be kindred spirits, just living in opposite directions.

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...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?

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...
