New Year Resolutions

(These are just a few of the book I want to read and re-read)

I started this blog primarily to research and write about history. It has started drifting from it's stated goal and New Years is a great time to realign it.  This last April was the 150th anniversary of the start of the "Civil War" . We at Oak Cottage (Yes, we named the house.  Don't you like it?)  have become very, very interested in the Civil War.  So  I want to spend the next few years reading and talking about the causes of the Civil War, the people involved, the battles, the weapons, the daily life both of those in camp and those left at home, the clothes (I have mentioned that I like old clothes, haven't I?).  We have even talked about finding recipes and trying them!

But if History is not your thing, don't worry.  There will be plenty of posts about projects, politics, and daily life in general. 

I hope you look forward to the new year as much as I do.  I can't wait to see what God wants to show me in the next twelve months.
