Hi, My Name is Cathrine, Not Catherine.

April 17, 2018 by Cathrine Hoekstra

I realized after going through some posts that we may have some new followers or readers of our blog! If you are new, welcome! Hi! I’m so glad you are here. If you are a faithful reader, hey again. It’s good to see you!

When Sam came home with Memphis is 2016, going out in public was a little different for us. In fact, that different became our new normal. We had a dog with us. In a restaurant, in a store, at softball games, on vacation, in a hotel. Wherever Sam went, Memphis went.

I started keeping track of things, making a list (as a planner, I like to have the list and the notes and all the things in order). I wrote down questions people asked (and thought of ways to answer them or reframe them). I jotted down some phrases we would hear (overhear) when people would watch (or sometimes follow us).

I found an app. There’s an app for everything, right? This app allowed you to create a list. FOR ANYTHING. A list making app? Yes, please.

I wanted to Listroduce myself (corny, but I shared things about myself that some people may not know). It is worth repeating, just in case we have some new readers. Welcome. Thank you for following our journey.
