If this doesn't tempt you to read on, really, what will?

I am compelled to enter the world of blogging due to immense peer pressure; in short, I blame Janet Yates. She is a standard to which I aspire.

Thus, we present the masterful creation that is the Thatcher family blog. Do not expect excitement. Do not look for adventurous hikes, visits to regions unknown or other memorable moments. And, most of all, do not anticipate up to date pictures...In fact, we rarely photograph any event in our life, major or mundane. With that said, enjoy the text.
