It's my blogaversary!
It's hard to believe that 18 years ago I started this blog. I had no idea what to write about at first, sometimes I still don't. I'm just glad that my readers seem to still enjoy reading my posts.
A lot of things have changed in the last 18 years. My daughter is all grown up and now I have an 10 year old grandson. I used to have hamsters, rats and gerbils and now have a very energetic Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua named Falcor who turned 9 years old this month.
My blog has changed as I've changed over the years. I've met a lot of really wonderful people and made quite a few friends along the way. I've ranted, reviewed, shared my thoughts and advice. I don't think I ever really thought that I would still be blogging 18 years later or that anyone would read what I had to say, but many of you do and I thank you for sticking with me through so many years.
So for all of you followers that have been here a long time and for those of you that are fairly new I just want to say thank you for visiting, commenting and enjoying what I've been posting over the years. I hope we'll all be around and blogging for many years to come.
Eighteen years is truly impressive. Happy blogoversary - and I hope there will be many more.
