On the 21st, this blog will be three years old. Another birthday is coming quickly. It amazes us that we have been writing the blog for that long. We’ve told lots of family stories and covered many other topics.

It’s the start of a new year and many people use a time like this to make resolutions to change something in their lives. And I do use the time to consider things, but I don’t really make resolutions in the traditional way anymore.

We have talked a fair bit about holiday traditions on the blog. Traditions are a part of family history. One tradition at our house is putting up the tree. We have a lot of ornaments from our families that go up on the tree every year.
Andrew Joseph Dingman was born on December 15, 1913 in West Point to Herman and Bernadine Mueller Dingman. He is a distant cousin of Walt’s through the Wellman side of the family.
Herman Wellman was born on December 8, 1914 to Gerhard and Mary Reuter Wellman in West Point, Iowa. Herman is Walt’s 2nd cousin twice removed.

If you want to take your dog out hiking out with you, here are some things to consider. Our posts will mostly be about dogs because that is what we know, but much of it applies to any pet.
