Blogs I like

Mid-May of 2020, COVID-19 era and WP is still screwing around with the editing and look of this page. I find it as frustrating as ever and apologize once again.

I’m always behind on this page and will make a valiant effort (some day) to list more blogs I like.  If yours isn’t here, don’t assume I don’t like it.  🙂  And excuse the inconsistent look.  I’ve fixed the spacing too many times to count and every time I do something new, it apparently resets.  Ahh, WordPress, you are all too often the bane of my blogging existence!

My husband’s blog–about cancer and a lot about other things.

Our younger daughter’s blog–mostly her art and worth seeing.

Art:

Madison is a writer and a relatively new artist, but not your ordinary artists. She makes all her paints by grinding rocks found in her native Ozarks!  I have one of her beautiful paintings. She’s truly a renaissance woman living out her dream.

Food:

Author of vegan cookbooks and a wonderful food photographer, Hannah has a blog you’re sure to enjoy and some amazingly creative recipes.  Don’t go there hungry, though!

Photography (and maybe a few other things):
