Welcome!

Hi all!  My name is Cori Gilkey and I finally took the plunge into the wonderful world of blogging.  I have been a blog stalker for the past year and a half.  Gazing wondrously at the inspiring eye candy that graced the pages of the unknown people that wrote them.   Staying up for hours a night getting a glimpse into the lives of people from around the world with my same interests...wow how great is that?  I'm the person that likes to drive at night to get a glimpse inside beautiful old houses to view the decor of the people living there.  My husband says I'm nosey. But blogging...hmmm...I guess it could be kinda classified as  cyber "peeping"........So after many months of peeking behind the curtain into the world of others  I'm ready to be center stage...I wanna be a SUPASTAR!!!!!!

Wow!  My own baby blog to nurture and make grow.  I can do this.  I have confidence.  I nuture  because that's what I do.  I have four chicks that I've fed, coddled and preened.  (Amazing seeing that I am an only child).  Add water.  They will grow...I've done something right because they continue to grow, and grow and grow.  They are glorious.  Take a look..................................................................................................................................  

My little peep (My daughters chick)  arrived on April 14th.  She throttled into the world encouraged by cheers of the women in the family.  It was like a tribal ritual.  No boys aloud.  My 80 year old grandmother was there with her pom-poms and  although fascinated with Addy's birth, she seemed more mesmerized by the placenta.   Yuck.  At least we left that at the hospital!

 Lastly, how can you have chicks and a peep without a rooster.  Well here's mine.  Even though he struts around demanding authority....we all secretly know he's henpecked!

So that's all the resident's in my little coop.  With human DNA that is.  The furry friends will be 

right around the corner.  With them come  the written antics and adventures of my life as a mother, labor and delivery nurse, crafter, chef, homesteader, animal keeper, ghost magnet  and now BLOGGER.  Whew!  We are crazy bunch that my daughter has affectionately nicknamed the Adams Family....hmmmmmm....I get that now!  Come join us....................................................
