Welcome to my new blog

Hi, I’m Christy Hoffknecht. My new blog, It’s My Serve, has arrived like a 129-mph Venus Williams ace up the “T,” and I’m pretty excited about it.

This site will serve as a place to post anything I want! Yep, that’s pretty much it … I don’t have a real specific focus per se. What does drive me is a desire to serve my immediate birth family by documenting its history, to write about some of my own life adventures, and to establish a home base to share news and serve up personal opinion.

Why the name It’s My Serve? It was a tough decision: I considered all types of names but none worked the best as this one because, well … read the previous paragraph. I used the word “serve” repeatedly for the purpose of illustrating my primary intentions with this blog. And it works as a cheesy way to work in my love for tennis as well (did you catch that one — love?)

I spent 30 years working in editor roles at Northern California newspapers … I know good journalism when I see it. That is not what you will find here! More like stories about my cat.

So expect the mundane, the hokey and the retro … it’s what I do best. Oh, and don’t forget the truth and a little verbal warfare at times.

Love and kisses!
