A friend pointed out that I would probably hit my 100,000th view tonight and he wanted to be the viewer to hit the 100,000th mark. Three came in rather quickly, but he was either the 100,000th or the 100,001st–which is a nice symmetrical number, as well. He took a screen shot and here it is:
I had no idea when I started this blog that I would ever hit this mark!!! Thanks to all of you who have continued to put up with my remarks, my poems, my obsession with certain little dogs, pictures of my food, my flowers, my friends and my digs. I guess in a way a blog is the ultimate “selfie,” but then that is what most writers write about, no matter how well-disguised they are in different characters. I’m lifting a glass of rum and Coke to you! Thanks for bearing with me! oxoxoxoxooxxo
High Fives to you! Your views are well-deserved.

Congratulations on reaching that milestone! I began writing to “scratch the itch” and I still write mostly about everyday life here. I don’t feel the need to accumulate followers, but at the same time I appreciate each and every one of them, as well as those who leave comments on my blog, or those who simply like a post. Perhaps that is what I am searching for, the connection to others just as your like has drawn me to your blog 🙂

I know. I love those interconnections that happen, sometimes over something as simple as a picture of a cat (Spartacus) or a shared cause (Mark’s making us all aware of the horrible atrocities in Saudi Arabia.) Try not to hate me that I haven’t seen snow in six years! I did my penance growing up in South Dakota and going to University and teaching in Wyoming. Now I am in the promised land of Mexico. Ahhhhh. No scraping windshields or skidding on ice.
