This is my third attempt at creating a blog.  The first two were just practice runs with only a few entries each.  I really couldn't figure out how to post anything in the sidebar or add anything to header or do anything but just create entries.  I finally happened on blogdrive and I am glad I did. I think I am here to stay.  When I created my first blog (only 2 weeks ago) I couldn't think of a clever name...so I just called it Karen's Place (real clever).  Later in the day, I created a new one at another location and called it Karen's Cast of Characters.  I even tried that here but after two days of trying I realized that my blog name was too long so it wouldn't let me register...I thought I was making the blog address too long.......but, I digress........

Yesterday I came up with a new "clever" idea.  How about "Karen's Kastle"?  Yes, I realize castle is spelled wth a c.  However, it starts with the "ck" sound and that was what I was aiming for.  In my "pretend" kastle I am allowed my opinion at all times.  It can be quiet when I want it to be and I can be the only one allowed talk if I prefer it that way too.  This is so unlike my real world...where I am married (very happily) and homeschool our 7 children...Becca (12), Erin (almost 11), Rachel (9), Katie (7), Ryan (5), Connor (3) and Emma (2)  {Connor and Katie have birthdays coming up in the next two months}  oh....and of course the silent babe that is growing in my uterus just now.

I am not so sure that I will keep my title of Karen's Kastle...because I did a search for it and it seems that lots of other people had the same "clever" idea and it doesn't really evoke a warm friendly feeling which is what I am going for.  I guess it will all just develop over time.......
