2,508 posts

I have been writing here for five years.
I have uploaded eight thousand, five hundred forty five photos to Flickr.
This blog has had one million, one hundred thirty three thousand, four hundred eighty three views.
Between fifteen and twenty people click here every hour.
When I started this my children were younger, I was home every day, we had just been apple picking and I failed miserably at making an apple pancake.
Some things never change.

C'est la vie.

Thank you Bb for keeping on going even though failing (this should be proofed uh?).
If it weren't for THAT pic of Youngest on the beach, I wouldn't have met YOU, Badger, Eurolush, Kim, Alice, Paula, Eleanor, Wendy, Poppy, Rae, Coffee Lady, Ali, Tuli, Nie Nie, Joke (hey look! There's a MAN!)OMG the list could go on and on and on.
I have something to learn from each and every one. Everyone makes me laugh, cry, ponder, wish!
THANK YOU.
Paola, without a blog but blog loving!

And you are still as awesome as you were when you started. I have no idea how you do it day after day after day. Thank you for your friendship and inspiration.

Five years and a million visitors - big numbers, and much still to love in these parts.

Congratulations!

Happy birthday!

I giggled at the end when you wrote C'est la vie. Just today, my dad said to me on the phone "Plus ca change plus le meme chose".

Freaky. And it reminded me of when I wrote on MY goodnight and thanks for the fish, and you wrote in MY comments that K had just said that to you that morning.

Freaky. As I said.

That should say when I wrote on MY blog ...

It's late and I just finished the 2000 word essay.

Confession: One million of those blog views were from me. Sorry. I just couldn't resist!

You do realize you were MY first commenter on TWO different blogs...

I have truly enjoyed getting to know you through your daily posts. You are funny, smart, and take fabulous photos of your chin.

Here's to FIVE MORE YEARS!
