Post 2752

 

On May 2, 2006, I wrote the first post for this blog.

I was working at the Quaker school, Sam was a couple of months old, and our boys weren't married yet.

Since then, we've had two major weddings, acquired five -- count 'em -- five more grandchildren, celebrated major anniversaries, experienced some health issues, traveled extensively, changed jobs (more than once!), and retired. And that's not all we've done, but you get the idea.

Now Sam's ready to graduate high school (I'm sure he knows how many days until commencement, but I don't) and next year we'll have one in college, three in high school and two in middle school. Ye gods!

Blogging has brought a richness and loveliness to my life and while I don't write anywhere near as often now, I check the blogs I follow every single day. I have loved being a part of the blogosphere and cherish the friendships that have evolved.

For old times' sake, I think it's time for a give-away. If you're interested, leave a comment below and I'll draw a name on Sunday. If the winner is a quilter, the prize is a fat quarter pack; if a non-quilter, the prize will be determined at that time. And, just for the sake of blogging, please tell me another blog you like to read that you think I should know about.
