Welcome to the first of many "Pebbles" to keep you updated with the goings-on of the Patterson Family. With family and friends scattered around the world we wanted a way to prattle on without running up phone bills, using up cell minutes and sending out e-mails to those who don't really feel like getting a running commentary on us.
First we wanted to let you know how we came up with our blog name. As many of you know, Rob is a former Special Forces dude. On a casual day back in 1988 while on a little "walk" with some of his new SF buddies, someone selected a 'little rock' for him to put into his backpack to remember this day. Rob named this rock the Patterson Pebble. It is not a small rock, but something that can withstand hurricane forces.
In addition, as Rob embarks on his new venture in the Army as a Chaplain, we thought the name still fit. As we go forward with our missions, each time we toss a pebble into the world we look forward to the ripple effect it will have.
As this first edition is going out into web-world, Rob is being interviewed by the Deacons at Crown Point Baptist Church. Rob has found a wonderful mentor in Pastor Steve and Muffy is so excited to have Pastor Steve's wife Gloria as a sounding board. Soon, Rob will be ordained and will be awaiting his commission in the Army. It is an exciting time and a nervewracking one as well. We look forward to the challenges that are ahead as we know this is God's plan for us. Many of you are now thinking "Muffy? A chaplain's wife?" I thought the same thing and continue to have my fears and doubts. Rob has been a great support and our friends are cheering both of us on.
I am still hopefull that things with ESPN and ABC will pick up again and I can get back out on the road doing what I love to do. Live broadcast televised sports. It is always fun reconnecting with my 'tv family' in fun places around the country. Stay tuned for more info. In the meantime, I'm still decorating cakes and will soon be adding an on-line dog treat bakery to MySweetDiva.com! The website is currently under contruction with only a one page welcome for now but I'm enlisting the help of talented friends to help me get it off and wagging.
Until next time--EAT CAKE!
