To blog or not to blog?

I'm trying to find a way to stay in touch with my family without requiring them to sign up with user names and passwords. This is my attempt to see if this will work for what I need it for. Today is our 8th anniversary. A lot of exciting things are happening this year, including planting our first garden. Our next major project will be the remodeling of our kitchen (right after we get back from our anniversary trip to the mountains). Rach
