Robert's Thoughts: July 2007

It started about two years ago when I came across The Walton's tv show.I enjoyed the era (it took place in 1930's Virginia) and the going ons of the large family(there were seven children).I bought the season sets as they came out and found several websites on the show.Through one of the websites I found a small forum where fans could discuss the show or talk about everyday events.

On the forum some of us would post a weekly quote.Last October,while using google to find Anne of Green Gable quotes,I found The Anne part of Gretchen's potpourri section.After seeing some pictures of Gretchen I realized that I had been here before.Earlier in the year I had googled red hair and had found her site.I had read the quotes on red hair and freckles;I also read the quotes on chocolate.When I finished,I went on to other sites and forgot about this one.

When I scrolled down to the bottom I noticed the YLCF banner.I clicked on it and went to their main page.I read some of the current articles and looked at some of the archived ones.Though I had heard of blogs before,this was the first time I had read one.From people's comments I was able to find other blogs.And from links on their pages I found other blogs and websites.I read about courtship,biblical marriage modesty and other topics.I also learned about Jane Austen.

I wondered why I noticed the YLCF this time.Maybe at this point I was ready for it.It has given me a new direction and many things to think about.I now have to figure out where this path will lead me.Coming up I will write about what I have been learning from my blog reading.
