Day Five (Friday April 26th): Something A Bit Different
It’s the annual challenge to blog in a way different to how you normally blog. You may choose to create a podcast, or vlog, create a wordless post or write in verse. You've already stretched your wings with an infographic, now it's time to freestyle.

I think today's topic - or lack the of - is the perfect opportunity to tell you a little more about me. To keep it interesting I'm going to utilize the "writing in the raw" technique. If you're not sure what that is, check out Five Minute Fridays. I used to participate every week, but because the focus of the blog did some changing it just hasn't fit in. I miss it. So today I'm doing my own version.

5 little known facts about Robin in 5 minutes. The only rule is they can't have anything to do with crocheting, knitting, books or the library - because you hear about those things all the time!!

Ok - ready, set, GO!

1.    When I was a little girl - about 3 or 4 years old I met Johnny Cash at my family's guitar factory. He scared me and at the time I wasn't impressed at all!

2.    My family owns Martin Guitars in Nazareth, PA. If you're a musician of any sort - chances are you've heard of Martin. We've been making guitars since 1833. I love my family, but have nothing to do with the factory - that's my half-brother's gig. I don't know how to play the guitar.

3.    I went on a trip to Colorado when I was little. We went to Cripple Creek (I think?) and I still remember a gravestone I saw there: Here lies Lester Moore, four shots from a 44, No Les, No More!

4.    I have the teddy bear that my father gave me when I was born. His name is Theodore B. Bear. The B stands for Brown. He sits on my dresser and keeps an eye on me like he has for more than 45

5.    I have my drivers license, but for the last four years have not owned a vehicle. A little tough in semi-rural Massachusetts, but I make it work - and I really don't want to buy a car unless I really have too!

That's it - time's up!

Whew! That was harder than I thought it would be. Now you know a little more about me than you did before. Thanks so much for stopping by and spending a bit of your day with me. To read more blog posts on today's topic enter 4KCBWDAY5 into a search engine of your choice, or click here.

Until next time friends,
Be blessed and stitch & read with love!

you're always interesting, and I remember reading some of your 5 minute write-a-thon, not many of them becaue I think I only picked up on your blog a little less than a year ago. and I ccouldnt imagine you writing about something other than crocheting, knitting, library or books but you did. And a photo too, Well hello Robin B. nice to meet you. I can't play guitar but I know of Martin guitars. My ex had bought a used one in Cambridge and we all liked it. He was more of an electric guitarist then but he had a fondness for the other. Even if you don't play you're pretty well rounded with all your other hobbies.
thank you.

Awww! Thanks so much Avis! [with a big smile!]
Who knew it would be so hard talking about me! It was good to step outside of my normal blogging zone, but I don't think I'm going to be changing the format anytime soon! It's a great compliment to be thought of as well rounded. Thanks again for taking the time to say hello - I'm glad to know you too!!
