A Work In Progress

Switching from Blogger to Word Press has been a major learning curve for me; never mind that I got a new laptop that is Windows 8, at the same time. I'm grateful for the people who have helped me through this transition and am learning to navigate my way around the maze. I'm still working on making this site more user-friendly for my readers.

I switched to Word Press Chateau Theme, giving this blog a softer look. I even learned how to put my own picture in the header, an accomplishment for me! I expect this to change from time to time or at least until I come up with a signature header similar to my what my Fleur Cottage page was. Or not.

Another BIG accomplishment was making and linking to an Apartment 12 face book 'like' page for this blog. I will be posting on Apartment 12 page instead of the Fleur Cottage page in the near future. One of my goals is to copy and paste in a post our cancer journey together the past several years that was posted on the Fleur Cottage page. It's going to be a fairly big and time-consuming project but it's something I've been wanting to do for my own sake. Fleur Cottage page will not be deleted, just not used as much, if at all.

Something strange has been happening with the posted pictures not showing up and my brilliant tech friend says it may have something to do with the band width and I, of course, have NO idea what she's talking about! But we or rather she, will be correcting that (we or rather I, hope!). Oh yes, blogging is a lot of fun! Seriously, I love to journal this way and it's good for this brain of mine to be stretched.

We (the Petersheim's and myself) have several exciting dreams planned for ourselves. This place was built last winter and moved into March of 2013 and as new places go, it all takes time (and finances) to make it a reality. One of those dreams is to make the entrance into Apartment 12 user-friendly for my guests. But the dream I'm REALLY excited about is the paint room I'm getting! It will be where I repair, recycle and build (EEK!) my 'one-of-a-kind-finds.' I'll keep you all informed on that one - it's three-quarters built and looks even better than I imagined!
