Extra Extra Read All About It! Will anyone read this blog?

 I read on the internet today that about 77% of internet users reported that they still read blogs on a regular basis.  I researched this because I thought that maybe a re-start in blogging might be fun.   So here we are. 

So much has happened at Dutch Creek since my last post!  We've had a college graduation, both of my children have moved out and both got married within 9 months of each other.  

We've had two weddings.  A new grandbaby and a dog.  I recently started a new job and have had two work related trips to France in the last 6 months.  

I've got some reno plans for the house.  Nothing of grand scale but just some refreshing.  

This blog will be my placeholder.  A short and sweet update of my day to day, week to week activities.  It will be a place to hold memories that we can look back on year after year. 

I'm turning 62 this year and weight loss will be a big focus of my life and this blog.  I'm in need of losing a huge amount of weight.  Perhaps logging the process will help me stay on track.  I'm posting my starting picture from November 2024.  

My goal is to stay active.  I'm finding that the heavier I've become the more I just want to sit around so walking is going to be my go to activity.  Lower calorie meals (not always low fat or fat free), just eating more natural.  

And so with this quick post, we'll begin our revamped journey of the Dutch Creek blog.
