On this very day in 2012,
Our Lady's Feast Day, I decided to begin my "online journal,"
never, ever realizing the world of opportunity and friends
that would come my way because of it!
I've met so many truly amazing people,
developed friendships with special individuals
on this and three other continents....wow!.....
.....been granted the privilege to experience
unique and crazy adventures....
and hopefully, improved my writing skills
here in myhome on the web.....
I've slapped some poetry and memoir up here
as well as shopping guides,
a camping how-to, birthday party wrap ups,
more cakes than I can count...but here's my fave, for you Whovians.
And here's a Victory Cake for Hunger Games readers.....
and
boy, it's been a blast!
No one's more surprised than I am that I'm still here,
here in myhome on the web.....

No one's more surprised than I am that I'm still here,
with "regulars" stopping by and new friends on occasion,
peeking in to introduce themselves and leave a comment once in while too!
And thank you all!
And thank you all!
How about a real quick peek at the top 3 reasons readers
have stopped by?

Congratulations on 4 fab years! I remember the "birth" when you were trying to decide on the name of your blog and I've so enjoyed your posts, ideas and watching your boys grow through the years into smart, handsome, God-fearing young men!
