Blogaversary #8!

I can't believe my blog is 8 years old!

And this time my blogaversary is on the real date because I started it on February 29, 2008 which was a leap year.

I have written 2453 blog posts.

I started Musings when we were preparing for our move from Chicago to Hawaii. I thought it would be a way to keep our children and friends up to date on our activities.

It accomplished that purpose beautifully, but it also opened up the world to me (and Art too). Suddenly I had friends all over the mainland and even around the globe. It was a heady feeling.

Blog friends opened me to new ideas and gave helpful advice on any problems I shared.

On this special day, I'd like to thank all my friends, old and new for the caring and friendship you have kindly shared with me. You have enriched my life and kept my brain from moldering. Thank you, thank you. Now on to Year #9!

  2. I have enjoyed your blog and am a fairly new follower. Mine is about as old. Strange...the names of our blogs are similar.

  22. Whenever you have a blogaversary I know I'm not far behind. I first posted in
    April of 2008 and it was because you discovered me that I have all these other wonderful friends too.
    Thank you and happy anniversary!

  23. Wow! Eight years is a long time to blog. I continue to aspire to be as good of a blogger as you! You are amazing. Like Linda, I am sure that because you wrote on my blog, I now have all of these wonderful friends also. You, Art, your family, and your mom are like closest of neighbors to me. I know you much better than I know my neighbors or many of my friends. I love blogging and the friends I make. Keep on writing!

I really LOVE hearing from you! However, if you sign in as ANONYMOUS, please don't forget to tell me who you are in the comment box by just writing your first name. We would all appreciate it if you kept your comment respectful and kind.

I’m using Comment Moderation for any post that is more than a day old because of aggravating SPAM. Therefore, if your comment does not go up on an older (more than a day old) post, it's because I need to OK it first. I'm sorry to have to do this, but again... sigh... it's the spam that's driving me crazy.
