Well it appears I'm not the only blogger in the family. Our oldest daughter has a blog on MySpace. You can find it here. WARNING it is not for the faint of heart.

Our daughter works for her grandfather on her biological moms side in a catering business. If you check out the website you will see that she lives the Goth Lesbian lifestyle. I'm not sure if that is the correct way to put it but she will let me know if not. Sometimes I think that she thinks there is more conflict between she and I than there is. My biggest complaint about my daughter is that I don't get to see her and enjoy being around her enough. Every day I wish I could see her or hope that I can talk to her but when we are on the phone together it is like neither of us knows what to say. I just get thrilled that she took the time to call me... it makes me feel great. She is the first best thing that happened in my life. Everytime I see her or talk to her I remember that.

She is VERY artistic and is going to be studying art in the fall at community college. In the catering business she gets a chance to express her artistic style and get paid for it. Her grandfathers business is very respected and high quality and puts on functions for some of the most prominent people and organizations in the area.

It is just amazing how busy young people are today and how different their lives are now than when I grew up. I really think that it is because of high speed communication and the internet (I'm not talking about the Goth Lesbian part) When I was young my world had very limited and well defined almost geographical boundaries. Now our daughter and also our son, nieces and nephews have relationships with people sometimes hundreds of miles away. They use cell phones, text messaging, voice messaging and the internet. They are connected to each other 24/7. I remember if a friend of mine was not home and I did not know his or her whereabouts that was it, I couldn't get in touch sometimes for days until the planets aligned properly and my friend was at home when I called on the phone or showed up at the door.
