Welcome! JB's Clam Shack is officially open for business!

Like many others out there, I am here somewhat due to the suggestion of others. I have thought for a while that a blog would be both fun and a great tool. I have kept a journal on a regular basis since I was in junior high and to this day still primarily use the black composition notebooks that my 7th grade English teacher (Mrs. Teaze, New Canaan, CT) had us use. When I thought of starting a blog, time was an issue (I work outside the home and have 2 boys - 8 and 5; yeah, you tell me how much time I have) and topic, what would I talk about day in and day out? Well, one evening we were all sitting around the dinner table ("we" being my MIL and BIL whom we live with) talking about an article we had been reading about nano-technology and what it was doing to our food. (We eat a primarily organic diet and try to live green.) One thing led to another and it was suggested that I do something on-line since I was so good with all the chat rooms, forums, etc. Don't ask me why but I do seem to have a knack for finding this stuff - want to know about the ball handlers for the Ebolian soccer team? Give me 2 minutes and I'll have you hooked up with a forum full of fans. So, here I am, ready to talk green living, organic food, what the pesticides used in foods, cleaning products, body products, etc. are doing to our planet, our homes, ourselves along with knitting, quilting, scrapbooking, motherhood and who knows what else will come up. Maybe my husband will even make a guest appearance and talk politics. Oh, and who is JB and why a Clam Shack? I'll save that for another day. :) In the meantime, here is the link to the articles that pushed the Clam Shack to open its doors!
