My First Blog Arlene Marie Ramsbacher Trang

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.  Barbara Gayle you are such a motivator!  Here I am composing on my own blog spot. Fancy that!  (Being grateful at the same time that I'm not decomposing in another spot :) ) Having had this laptop only 13 months, thank you Morgan Lee, here I am blogging and that sounds sooh like I know what I'm doing.  Not.  The rhyme at the beginning is one we used to paraphrase alot, and perhaps later one will pop out that fits this momentous occasion also.  One's first blog should be special?  Yes? 
Alas however, writer's block, (dare that term be applied to me?) has struck and my mind is sort of blank at the moment.  It's like talking to oneself at first, this blogging, so I'm thinkin' that imagination will play a big role in this undertaking. Someone else is across from me and we're having a nice chat.  Right?  I'm thinkin' that person should have a name.  Someone Marie Else might be a good one.  Girls of my age often had Marie for a middle name and since I didn't use it for our daughters, I'm thinkin' that's what I'll call this blogger friend of mine.  Someone Marie Else or Someone Else for short.  Which reminds me of a storybook little girl who wondered why people weren't called 'for long.'  And speaking of names,that reminds me of sister-in-law Sharon Trang's mother.  Sharon, I'm still wondering why with such a charming and delightful name that you or Someone Else haven't used it for a children's story.  Hilda Mathilda could really charm the socks off as a mischievous little pioneer girl don'tcha think?  Then add her last name and voila,  watch out Pippi Longstockings!  Hankensifken.  (This coming from me with the surname,Ramsbacher pronounced with the German for ach that sounds like one needs to hawk and spit.  :)  Philosophically speaking, the question was asked, "what's in a name?"  Ya never know do ya?  Fame and fortune?   A book?  A blog?  I'm thinkin' it's time for Someone Else to say something so I'll close this first page (think Paul Harvey and page 2 here) momentous or not with a farewell rhyme;  Roses are red, lilies are white, Been fun talkin' to you,  good nite and sleep tight. ( the bedbug thing makes it too long? =[ )
