From Maggie to Gracie: A Year's Worth of Blogging

Last year on August 7, when I began this blog, I had no idea I would still be blogging.  I established this blog at the request of my boys when they suggested I post about the trip we were about to make to Italy.  I started in August so that I would have the kinks worked out by the time we went to Italy in September.  My first blog was about flying with our dog Maggie to Nova Scotia.

I began to enjoy posting something each day, and before I knew it I had decided I was going to post every day for a year, and I've managed to do that.  I can write several blogs in advance and schedule them to appear whenever I wish.  Of course, something always comes up and I have to slip in a blog not previously scheduled.  A friend asked me if I had done things or gone places that I would not have done had I not been blogging, and the answer is yes.  I will see mention of a concert or an art show or something and think,"That would make a good blog post". So off I go.  I think this has broadened my horizons.

Yesterday was the one year "anniversary" of my blog, when I posted birthday wishes to my eleven year old granddaughter, Grace.

I've been happy to get to know some of my followers and to meet other bloggers.  I plan to continue my blog, but I won't post every single day, but more like twice a week.  So I'll be happy for you to continue to gadabout with me whenever you like.  Who knows where the blog will take us!!!!  So stay tuned.

Interesting note:  The post that received the most page views this past year was Lunch at the Depot, Lattimore, NC
