Recently found

I thought it would be good to point out some 'newer' blogs (as in new to me) I have been reading that I thought you might enjoy..

Let's start with J. Occasionally J is currently teaching English in China. Her blog is full of interesting tidbits about their culture, history, photos and over all interesting stuff! She is also looking for people to send her English Language books for her to give to her students. Check her out, and if you can send books, please do!

Then we have Kim. Live from the 205 is her blog. She recently, and suddenly, lost her husband and is making every effort to heal and live through the weight and darkness that is grief. She's got a couple of adorable puppies and is really just flat out a fantastic person (from what I have read and learned about her). If you are anti-Emo, she's not for you, but I think she's worth a check in. You can follow her on Twitter as well, kimt205.

Some of you may know that I lived in Oregon for quite a few years. One of my favorite places there is Astoria, Oregon. I recently found Astoria Oregon Daily Photo Blog, run by Sheryl Todd. Check out both of her blogs, I've come to adore them quickly as she captures daily life on the Coast in pictures and words.

Another photo/word blog that I recently came to just totally admire is The Smitten Image. She's way cool, an amazing photographer and witty to boot! (and she made some awesome CD and book covers!)

Of course I'm totally awful about a 'blog roll' so please don't be offended if I haven't mentioned you here or if you notice I just don't have one!

I hope you enjoy these as much as I have, and continue to do so in the future!

Happy reading!

Thanks for the shout out. I'm espcially grateful for mentioning the book thing. Now, I should really step away from the blogs and try to go to bed at a reasonable time! I'm going to check the other blogs out too...tomorrow morning with a cup of coffee. ;)
