One Year Ago Today
One year ago today this blog was born.
This is my 297th post --
I'm closing in on 5,000 comments.
This is my 297th post --

I'm happy. I am enjoying writing. Hooked I am, reading all the blogs I've stumbled on in this 365 day journey. One year ago there wasn't a strategy, there wasn't a goal. More than anything I wanted to publish some family history for my grandchildren and write some of my own. Perhaps the genuine plan is to pour like a pitcher, until empty.
The most astounding product of this adventure is the friendships. My cyber smiles and hugs are just as heartfelt as the ones I share in person. There are so many bloggers I want to meet.
To commemorate this 1st Blog-o-birthday I am going to give away a sweet present to the lucky one who types that 5000th comment. It's not big - it's not exciting. It is a small gesture of appreciation to all of you for being a part of my life this year.

Now: How do you track how many comments you've had? (just curious!)
Did you go back and add them all up???

I, too, am in the class of 2006;))
i haven't been around for the whole year- but i have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts and looking at your photographs!
Wow, 5000 comments - that's a lot of comments.

You've made friends?!? Man, I've got to start being pleasant just to see what happens!
My blog reading time is sorely limited. The Dust Will Wait is one of the first places I go when I get on my puter.
You are worthy of your fans!
Here's to another 297!

And Happy Blogiversary...you have been one of the highlights of my first year, too (even though in September, it'll be my second anniversary...but as you know, I didn't go public til the Spring after).
I don't know how you count comments...plus, I can't go higher than a thousand, anyway ;).
How do you count your comments?

The number of unread items is numbered.
I can open it and see exactly what time of what day each comment comes in.
After I started my blog, your blog was one of the first I read. I look forward to reading more. :)
I love your blog and getting to know you and your family! I never fail to leave here without a smile and something to think about!
Hugs,
Sue
Congrats on such a huge milestone!
