Would you believe my blog is 13 years old? I began posting on Friday, February 29, 2008 which was a Leap Year. Darn! This year (if it was a Leap Year), the 29th of February would have been today. Last year was a Leap Year, but it fell on a Saturday so I didn't post on my actual blogaversary. February 29, 2024 will fall on a Thursday so I can celebrate on my actual blogaversary date. 😁
I've written 3550 posts and loved all the people I've met through my blog. I have been grateful for all the advice and friendship I've received from all of you and sad to have lost some dear blogger friends through the years. The memory of their kindness stays with me though and has enriched my life.
Thank you, everyone for keeping me company throughout this pandemic and making me feel connected by your friendship.
Happy Blogaversary, Kay! And wow--that is a lot of posts! To be honest I can't even remember how I wound up here, but the last couple years I sure have enjoyed reading about Art, your mom, your terrific kids and grandkids & of course yourself, I consider you a real friend. And I'm looking forward to your next 3550 posts :^)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same as you. When someone takes the time to read my blog I feel truly blessed because time is a precious thing and we can spend our time in so many other endeavors. Aloha.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Probably, like me, you have had more than one turnover of blog friends.
ReplyDeleteI never remember to celebrate my blogaversary. Happy Day to you! Thank you for all your comments on my blog in recent years. I'm glad I found yours. I do enjoy your view of life. I can count you as a blog friend.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. You post made me realize that Friday will be my 16th Blogaversary.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary. I'm just a few months ahead of you having started this blogging thing in November 2007. You, however, have written far more posts than I have. I've written around 2400 the last time I glanced at that number. I feel no compunction to write unless I really want to. I never meant for this to be a task to be accomplished but rather a chance for me to put my words out into the universe.
ReplyDeleteWoweee .... Happy Blogaversary to you !!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by Dd! Have a great week.
DeleteI always enjoy seeing your posts pop up in my feedreader.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary Kay. I started the year after you and have less than a third the number of posts you have. Congrats on being so consistent and good for so many years. It has been a pleasure getting to know you and your family. Plus you always find new and different ways to do things and solve problems. Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful, congrats and happy anniversary! Writing and reading blog posts have given me much needed respite and helped me process this past year.
ReplyDeleteway to go kay! i started just about a year after you! keep on bloggin'!
ReplyDeleteThose roses are flat out stunningly beautiful. Thank you. And your presence here adds to our lives inn many ways. Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteHappy blog anniversary, dear Kay!
ReplyDeleteYou are a doll, I think you are just blooming marvelous!! Love Art and your Mom and all your family too! xxx
Happy Blogiversary Kay! I started blogging Aug 2007 I believe. How the years fly by.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm closing in on my 18th year though I don't have a specific date since my original blog posts were on a defunct blog that has long disappeared. Best guess it was October of 2003 or there abouts.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kay, and Thank you. Your blog is a great start of my day. I look forward to it.

Awww... Thank you, Bonny. Please give Robert a hug for us.
DeleteCongratulations on the blog anniversary. You've certainly had things to say and have put some thought into it. Many as I, have enjoyed your blog over the years.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Kay! It doesn't seem that long, at least for your readers and friends! Mahalo for still being an excellent educator! I've enjoyed being enlightened and learning about customs and routines in your household. I think every little thing we learn about Hawaiians and Japanese culture defuses and corrects some of the misinformation from the past. And in the 1960s, certainly my midwestern education didn't tell us the whole story from the historical viewpoint.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be a delight to pick out some of the stories from the books about Art's family, and from chapters about your beautiful Mom's life and family to use for blog entries. Knowing their struggles certainly makes us a lot more grateful for what we experience today, comparatively. Aloha, Linda in Kansas
Hmmm.... I have written excerpts from family books about them in years past. I shall have to think about this. Thank you for the suggestion.
DeleteIt's so wonderful to have this community of virtual friends who love us and visit us often. You have written so many things on here that have helped me in one way or another, and I cherish our friendship. Happy Blogaversary! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have been blogging since October 28th 2008..as far as I can see.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogaversary, and thanks for keeping track. When you have your blogaversary mine isn't far behind, but I never remember. My first post was in April 2008, as we were getting ready to travel to Europe. Somehow you found me, and our blog family grew from there.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary - I believe Lace is the gift for the thirteenth one. I do enjoy reading about your life with your Mum and Art...and of course the little snippets about the rest of the family. Hope there’s more to come.
ReplyDeleteNow you’ve got me wondering what my anniversary day/date is....maybe see a post coming up :)
That is an impressive milestone! I am glad that at some point I found your blog and here's to may more years.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love your header.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogaversary! I look forward to many more years of "seeing" you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kay. I know hard it is to keep doing it. I am too lazy to do Facebook posts. -bb
ReplyDeleteThank you, bb for your kind encouragement through the years. I do value every one of your comments. I really feel writing the posts keeps my brain active, engaged and exercised. Dementia scares me and I find word retrieval is getting more difficult as the weeks go by.
DeleteIt's a pleasure to read you and about Mom, and all the things Art does. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Love your blog. Life in quarantine is short on adventures for sure. I a, day dreaming about taking a long train ride across Canada - some day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary and Happy March too.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
