Hello Tecumseh Area folk! I'm here to get the ball rolling on this blog thing. Survivorscribe is your friendly neighborhood "Neighbors" staff writer Cristina. This here area of our new website is for community members to share what they are doing in and around Tecumseh by keeping their own Tecumseh Herald sponsored blog.

To get the ball rolling I'll most likely post little bits about what I'm doing in an around this little town. Yes, I live in Ypsilanti. Those of you who happen upon this blog may wonder why I give a hoot about Lenawee County. I've been working in Tecumseh for almost nine years, so it feels like home to me. My kids go to school in Lenawee County. Their friends live in Lenawee County. We simply keep our home in Ypsilanti. That's not to knock Ypsilanti, but this area does feel like home to me. I just have to drive a few miles southwest of my house each morning to get home.

Being that the "Neighbors" section is my beat, I've come to know the Clinton and Britton areas a little bit. I even lived in Clinton for a brief period. I enjoy getting out and getting into those communities, and most recently, I've dusted off my old flute and joined the Britton Community Band. It's not a major commitment like some community bands. We only have a few rehearsals and then it's performance time. We'll see what happens considering we are a rag-tag bunch of folk who, for the most part, haven't pulled our instruments out of their cases in some years.
