Getting Started-Origin of Name

With friends and family near and far I thought this would be a great way to share and keep up to date with everyone. I am a virgin blogger so please don't expect too much. I have not quite decided which direction I want to take with my very own blog and have just decided that when I feel like blogging and I have a spare minute to do so, I will.

In deciding a name for my blog I came up with Morel Compound. When I looked up the word "compound' it said... to put together into a whole; combine. As you all know our home is just that. We have 3 families living together to make a whole.

I will go ahead and break down the compound for ya...

In the main house is where Mr. B, myself and our 3 super fabulous girls live. There is Ms. M who is super awesome and so aware of people and things around her. Then there is Ms. P. She likes to say she is Super Fast and she is. Ever since she could walk, she was running and continues to do so. Then there is Ms. O....oh, Ms. O. My leap year baby who is just starting on solid foods and has the poop to show for it. Also in the main house is the fragile and beautiful Nana R. At 82 she has blessed us all by just allowing us to care for her. Lung cancer and plain ole' old age is creeping up on her. Funny thing is, is that when does express her pain (which is hardly ever) she says her back hurts. There will plenty more to say about Nana R. in future blogs. Lastly, but not leastly..hehe is leastly a word? is Ms.RB. She is the care taker of all care takers who provides unbelievable care to Nana R. As a former nurse, she has the skills and is on call for everything Nana R needs. She is also most helpful when M or P need their 10th band-aid of the day.

Now, 30 paces to the east lay the rest of the compound. There is Senora A, Senora X and Senor M. Family of my husband, they moved from the big NY almost 2 years ago to the desert. They are instrumental in the care of the ladies, M, P, and O. There is also so much to say about them but I will carry on another time.

So with 9 people on one spot of land you can only imagine the activity that occurs on a daily basis. I suppose that is what I will talk about when I blog along with all the other crazy things that swirl in my head. My goal is to try to blog once a week, but we will see.......
