Tambourine Betty

I've been toying with starting a blog for quite some time.  I follow several friends and enjoy reading their posts so much I thought "I can do this!". Turns out it was not that easy (at least for me).  I struggled with just naming the blog, so I wondered if I could really keep up with actually posting semi-interesting (and I use that term loosely) content on a semi-regular basis.  I  considered several different names and themes and I read articles on how to name my blog, but in the end Tambourine Betty won out.  Actually, once I thought of the name I really didn't have to rethink it at all.  Betty is Betty Cooper from The Archies and the tambourine is what she played.  I fell in love with that cartoon back when I was in elementary school and I used to dream of actually being Betty and playing that tambourine. It turns out that a few decades later I am still kind of attached to that image.  I confessed this dream to my husband and he bought me not one but TWO tambourines for my birthday one year!  In addition to this he actually encouraged me to play them, although on occasion when I show up on the patio with tambourine(s) in hand, I think he wonders about the monster he has created!
