In honor of my 100th post on this blog and my youngest Minion’s third birthday tomorrow, I have decided on a new series. Once a week for seven days I will feature one of the blogs I follow. There are a number of reasons why I follow a blog. It might be someone who came to visit my blog, an art piece that caught my eye, a poem that peppered my feed, a fellow writer, an moment of inspiration, a craft I covet, food glorious food, a totally off the wall post, or simply someone who was brand new and I gave them a virtual thumbs up and one arm hug. If you like the excerpt that you see here, comment so that fellow bloggers can visit you too. Stop over at the featured blogger’s post and send them some virtual love.

The first will be Hellbilly Mama because….hell…it’s Michigan. Hell–on earth. Really. If you live there raise your hand and point to your palm proudly.   Plus deep fried pickles, people.
