Year 1 Anniversary of the Blog

Today, this time last year,  I began this blog, exactly five days after my birthday. So having just celebrated with a night out, I thought I would quickly note a few statistics, that you get through Blogger. I had set myself a challenge back then, to do this blog at least for a year, and really pleased I made it and didn't give up.

I like challenges, and feeling sentimental today, photos are actually for my children.

First there was one 1974

Then there were two 1975

So.......... Blogging twice a week can get a little hard, with finding something to talk about. How 7 day bloggers do it is a mystery, and not for me. Even twice a week is sometimes a challenge as well.  I hope you the reader have found it interesting and perhaps helpful. I will keep going for another year, and one day John and my grandchildren may look back on it with interest. I am wondering whether to keep it in digital form only or copy and paste each entry into a book. If anyone else has thought on this, please let me know.

Then there were 3 1978

Then there were 4 1979
 And ....... "roll of the drums" please.

I have no idea if these results are good or bad, but for me I am very pleased with them. There were 62 comments also, which is always nice. Speaking of statistics, here is the family one.


And then there were 5 and I got my two girls lol. 1984, Happy Birthday No.1 Son.


My new birthday challenge this year is to paint and re-do my Craft Room and a Tiny Sewing Room. I have put it off for so long now, probably 2-3 years,  and I can barely move in them to do my scrap booking or sewing, and usually end up on the dining room table. Bought the paint today and a couple of new lights, so stay tuned.

A big thank you everyone, for reading, and commenting, this past year.  Keep it up.

Till next time.
