About Sue


ABOUT SUE

To quote a very dear friend, “Hello and Welcome!”

A bit about me – I am a writer, the mom to two beautiful grown children (and four fur-babies), a child of God, a cyclist, an explorer, and the loving wife to The Daver – with a day job selling commercial furniture (I know, right??).  I post a little bit of everything, but my main topics center around humor, playing in the great outdoors, inspiration, and the occasional photo challenge.

I’m pretty passionate about trying to live in the moment and going after my goals.  I often jump in “heart first instead of head first” – either flying flat-out or tenaciously hanging on to the dream until God brings it into reality.

I also believe that all people have worth so I try to see and accept others with the same love and grace that God has shown me, and has for all of His children.

All that said – I am totally a work in progress who still makes plenty of mistakes.  Thank goodness for grace.

Erma Bombeck is one of my favorite authors, and I think she says it best for me:

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say “I used everything you gave me.”

Blessings,

Sue

    Sue you can delete this but I think your posts are not showing up in WordPress Reader. As an example if you search in WordPressReader for the tag ‘Wisconsin’ your latest post doesn’t show up. This happened to me when I first started blogging a few months ago. Here is a link to some info from WordPress forums http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
    One of the issues may be that if you use over 15 tags in a post it won’t show up in Reader.
    Hopefully I’m not being intrusive. Just want lots of people to find your excellent writing!

      Not intrusive at all!! I welcome the information – I never would have even thought to check that, and I didn’t know that about the tags either. Thanks for having my back!

        You are most welcome! When I started blogging I back loaded a bunch of my travel journals into the blog so I learned a lot of things by trial and error. The WordPress forums are a great way to ask questions or see if someone else has the same issue. After trying the above fixes for my posts not showing up in the Reader I eventually had to contact WordPress and they needed to change something on their end. Good luck with it!

        I’m not really sure? Since keeping mine down, I have noticed more traffic though, so I do think it really helps.

        Thanks for your note. It is 15 total per post of categories and tags. This happened to me once before so I will certainly check. I actually have sent a similar note to others so I appreciate it!

    Hi Sue, I can wholeheartedly recommend Lightroom – and you should be able to get a book about it from the local library, or have a look for tutorials on the web. As with lots fo software, the basics are easy, but it takes a modicom of effort to get into some of the more advanced features. Keyword tagging is brilliant, as is the ease of minor adjustmnents like white balance, exposure, and highlight and shadow levels, black and white points, and also lens correction for your camera/lens combo. Cropping is a cinch too. But the power comes in the workflow. Try give it a try. Brett

      Thank you, Aanchal! And thank you for following and your kind words. You are right – biking is a great way to see the world, even when it’s just your own little corner. I find so many hidden beauties on my bike that I would miss otherwise. Happy to have found you, too!

      Me too! I really liked your prayer about fear- great timing for me too. Interesting how we found each other again – first FB and now here. 🙂

      Ha ha! It is! I usually only ride up it once or twice a summer, and have to really call on the reserves to get up that last bit. Thankfully, it’s not very long – just very steep!

    A lovely About page, Sue, and a great photo of you. I think we’re all works in progress, and all make plenty of mistakes. Live and learn is my motto … and it never stops, as far as I’m concerned.

      Thank you again, Millie! Yes, quite true about always being a work in progress. It’s a good day when I don’t make the same mistake twice! 🙂

      Thank you! And smiling is exactly the result I hope for when I write. I’m glad you stopped by and let me know. I was checking out Cee’s other Fun Foto entries and that’s how I found you. I didn’t have time to browse your blog but I certainly will later!
