Wilting
Today is hot and humid. Every living thing is wilting. The flowers are sagging in the knees and so am I.
Soooo, since it is too warm to be outside, I am reading blogs. Hours and hours I have spent reading them. The writers are funny, charming, intelligent, and magnanimous in sharing their stories.
So far this morning I have read helpful tips for a hospital stay, how to create the best summer dessert, and what to do for getting paint off door handles and strike plates. Fascinating stuff.

Beginnings
July 27, 2007
Taking a deep breath here...If anyone had ever told me that I would one day blog, I would have called him/her a nut. I used to think that blogging was absurd and that anyone who kept a blog was a narcissist. I still do.
It all seemed so easy when I began the process until I had to create a name. It took forever to decide on "Vee's Haven." Sounds good, yes? No! Not good. Definitely not good. "Veeshaven" in the url?! No, no, that will never do. So while the name is stuffy, even uppity, A Haven for Vee it is, for now.
