It's my blogoversary!
It's hard to believe that 19 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 19 years. My daughter is all grown up and now I have an 11 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 10 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 19 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.
My husband of 30 years passed away in 2020 and I miss him dearly. I turned 54 years old this year and have seen quite a few gray hairs popping out. lol
Back when I started my blog, several other friends started blogs too but I'm the only one still blogging.
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.
A very happy blogoversary to you. I hope you will be blogging for many years to come.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteNineteen years - congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI began almost fifteen years ago and yes, many of those people are now gone. But we enjoy the ones who remain and the new friends we make.
Thank you. 15 years is a long time too. Many bloggers don't last anywhere near that amount of time.
DeleteHappy Blogoversary! In Europe you are officially of age after 18, so you can go dating and drinking now LOL
ReplyDeletelol Aww, I'm all grown up now.
DeleteHappy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteCongratulations! Not many people last that long.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a lot of people quit.
DeleteHappy blogoversary! The blogging landscape has definitely changed, but glad you've stuck with it all this time.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's definitely changed.
DeleteCongratulations! Nineteen years shows true perseverance. Not many bloggers keep going that long.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I've seen so many leave.
DeleteHappy Blogoversary, Mary! 19 years and still going strong. That's amazing. So many other bloggers have quit or disappeared lately. I'm very glad you and your blog are still around. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteHappy Blogoversary. Looking forward to many more years about what's happening in your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteWell hopefully is stays entertaining.
DeleteI enjoy your blog posts and all the crazy things that go on in your vicinity and the Raturday antics. Nineteen years blogging is amazing. I've been blogging for 17 years myself. I thought I'd run out of things to say after six months but not a bit of it!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I like your blog as well. We always find something to talk about on our blogs, don't we.
DeleteCongratulations! Wishing you many more blogging years!
ReplyDeleteI can remember bloggers that have left blogging - the reason being lack of ideas for a topic.
Well, not anyone can 'squeeze' the same few subjects again and again.
Usually, bloggers who persevere, have additional reasons besides the topic.
I think that's why I vary things on my blog and talk on a few different subject not just one.
DeleteCongratulations on 19 years! It is crazy to stop and reflect on just how much life has happened over the years, but I'm forever grateful to have enjoyed your virtual friendship since starting my own blog in 2012.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I really appreciate that.
DeleteThat's quite the accomplishment and Happy Blogoversary from all of us!

DeleteNot sure how long I been blogging. But I do enjoy it. You can meet all sort cool people.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Congrats on 19 years. I think I started following in 2012 when I started associate reviewing for Shari at Delighted Reader. Love dropping by and reading your various posts over the years.
ReplyDeleteWishing you many more wonderful years of blogging!
Yeah you've been a friend for a long time.
DeleteCongratulations on 19 years, Mary! I am glad I have gotten a chance to know you through the snippets of your life and bookish thoughts you have shared with us.

ReplyDeleteThe pic of your grandson with Falcor is so sweet.
Thank you. 12 years is still a long time. So many bloggers don't make it that far.
DeleteHappy blogoversary, Mary! 19 years is a long time! I'm so happy there are longtime bloggers sticking around. It's my favorite platform to talk about books. It'll be 12 yrs for me this month. :)
