Hi, I just want to welcome you all to our new spot to maintain our old connections and build new ones with family.  I realize that this is not quite the picnics at Madison's Park, but a new whole new way.  I am hoping you will share this Skjei Connections blog site with our family members. http://skjeiconnections.blogspot.com
While you will be able to view this site and be able to comment to a post that is already here, you will not be able to post yourself.  For that to happen, you need to send me your email address, preferably a gmail address.  I will send you an invite to become an author, you will respond to that email and follow directions.  You will have to get a gmail address at that time if you do not have one already.  There is no cost involved. When you do that you will go back to the http://skjeiconnections.blogspot.com and then you will sign in and  you can view and add a new post.  After that the program seems to remember me and not really sign me out, so it became easy after that.  I suppose if you look on a different computer, you would have to sign in there also.    
 We should be able to add our family history's so we all know who is who, share our family recipes, and of course add all the pictures, videos etc. that you want.  :)  I will add more last names as you send them to me if you can't add them yourselves.   The same goes with the events and birthdays, email me or call and I will add them.  If you have any other brilliant or even good ideas for this blog, let me know.  This is my first blog attempt. After our trip with Mom to Minnesota this last summer, I realized how lacking my life was without the connections to family that I grew up with.  I am determined not to let them go, hence this way for us all to stay connected and meet new family members.   You can contact me at theworldasart@gmail.com or at 702.809.1892 or at 44 Megan Drive Henderson, NV 89074.  Remember I love you and hugs to all.
