I was putting together this post when I realized that I have written 2515 posts as of today! I’ve done this in 6 years with over 101,838 comments! I have posted every day, with the exception of when I had emergency surgery, and shared the good, the bad, and the wonderful with you all. I started on May 11, with all of two readers. My sister and my cousin. I wrote a short post about my darling Shubi. At that time she was the center of my life, and Greta and Fritz were her little ones. It was a short post because I knew nothing about blogging, but it is there.
So why am I bringing it up now? I suppose because it kind of blew my mind that I have been doing this so long and have written so much! I never knew I had so much to say!
My family, however, would tell you that I have never had trouble talking.
When I was very young and married for the first time, living on my own with my new husband, I had been away from home for a long time. One weekend I managed a trip back to see my grandparents and parents, and I arrived at tea time.
As we sat at the dining room table sipping tea and munching cookies, I was telling them about my adventures as a newlywed, and at one point (after about half an hour) I stopped to sip my cold tea and my grandmother laughed!
“What did I say?” I asked.
“Nothing, and everything” she said “The table sure has been quiet since you left! We’ve missed your chattering!”
Grandma is probably laughing up there in Heaven. I finally have my place where I can chatter, about something or nothing at all.
Nice to have a little place in this world I can call mine!
Congratulations~I chatter about nothing and everything too : )
I’ve always loved to listen to you and now to read what you have to share! I look forward to it each and every day! I’m still here reading everyday unless I am sick, the computer is not working or I am far away. Love YOU, Mel
If I remember right, I started reading your blog when Anneliese had her first litter of puppies. I didn’t know there was long hair Dachshund till coming here. Congrats on the 2515 post!
Six years. I had no idea about blogs six years ago, that is so cool! I only knew about emails then yet I have been with google all those years. That is a lot of posts. I think I’m nearing 540 for two years. Love your first post. So glad to have meet you and congratulations!
Wow! That is some accomplishment! Congrats! I´m on the 4th year, so we´ll see how long I last. But I don´t have stuff to say on a daily basis.
Glad I found your blog and thank you for your friendship!
