Let's get going...

Well - I have been threatening to start writing a blog for a long time - so I'm just gonna do it. Hopefully it will be theraputic for me and entertaining for others. I know my life sure is... At least the rumors that I hear about it are. We live in the bubble. Better known as suburbia. A quiet, conservative, midwestern town. Not really an environment for two women - and not known for its lesbian culture. We're having a go at it. The neighbors don't care. Well - most of them don't. We do have an uptight family across the street - but the rest of them are all cool about it.

Why do we stay here you ask? Well, up until two years ago, I was married to my former husband and this is where we were raising our 3 children. We decided to keep their lives as close to "normal" as possible. I know you are wondering - how is a late in life lesbian keeping things normal. I guess normal is a state of mind. I hope to use this blog to tell my story, to get to know others who are like me and to just have some fun. Since I don't think I'll find many "sisters" in the bubble - I thought it would be fun to move the bubble...

I was driving home from work yesterday and was trying to recall the first signs that I knew I was gay. They say you just know. For me - not so much - because being gay was never an option. I often wonder... How did others know?
