...keeping up with the Shackelford family

Super Mario

Ken Shackelford September 2, 2013

Robbie has enjoyed spending time with a new friend, Mario. Mario is Robbie's age, loves basketball (unusual for soccer crazy Albania) and wants to go to college in London, where his uncle lives.

Robbie and Mario on a rooftop overlooking the city center in Elbasan, Albania.  It took some convincing to get Mario this close to the edge of the building - he's not too fond of heights. — Robbie and Mario on a rooftop overlooking the city center in Elbasan, Albania.

Yes, Shack has a blog (several in fact).

The Shacklog will be Shack’s blog of the present, his thoughts and family news.

The Backlog will, you guessed it, look back on Shack family days gone by.

One special blog that you see in the drop down menu is Stripes. I have ported these over from our Facebook updates that we did when Robbie was in the hospital in late '08 - '09.

Finally, 10k is a somewhat poetic devotional of praise, with the plan to ultimately give 10,000 reasons to sing praise to my Lord.

I love writing but don't find the time to do it much. I've never done a blog because it seems that no one ever reads them. Meh. I guess it doesn't really matter. Maybe my grandkids will browse through it someday.
