Ultimate Blog Party!

Welcome to Our Little Corner of the Upstate! I'm glad you stopped by to visit during the Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes For Mom! Don't forget to leave a comment so I know you were here!

So what will you find on this blog? Well, it started out as a means to keep family out of the area up-to-date on the goings on in our family. But it has morphed over the past couple years. You'll find a little political commentary, some vents, some "things that make you go hmmmmm", and of course random thoughts.

The biggest change in the blog came last December when my son was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Now you'll find stories of his accomplishments and my attempts at advocacy as well.

If I could ask my visitors to do just one thing, it would be to go watch Michael's Movie at the What Kind Of World Do You Want website.

Glad you stopped by!

I have to giggle at the thought of only allowing "susans" to post. (Just kidding to anyone else that wants to post, but for now it's just the two of us!)

My baby brother moved to SC several years ago and loves it there. I'll have to go snooping.
