happyhome-jewell is my first attempt at writing a blog. This may start out boring, but I want to learn how to have a site people want to visit and share.

Who am I? I am a 63-year-old retired English teacher, a pastor's wife, an ordained minister myselt, a mother of two sons and a grandmother to five. I live in Mesquite, TX, just east of Dallas. I'm originally from Georgia, and have lived or have close relatives in Ala., Miss., and La. I am conservative in lifestyle, but liberal in politics. I recently began eating the Paleo diet and I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen.

I'm so new at blogging, I don't even know how to post photos, but I promise not to load this with grandchildren shots when I learn. I am open to suggestions, including criticism, but not to namecalling and mean posts. Teach me how to do this! My next step is to go to "blogspot templates" and see what I can discover. Maybe you will be encouraged to start a blog, too.
