I don’t typically share my milestones, but thought I would today. For my 500th blog in just over a year, I want to thank all my followers and the friends that I have made since July, 2019 for reading or pretending to read my posts.
I wasn’t even paying attention to the numbers, Jim Borden! I just saw this in my feed this morning. It is a wonderful coincidence that my 500th post was of me, Frank and Heaven (our Bichon Frise) on a weekend Thanksgiving trip to Melbourne, Florida a few years ago. Written as Kindred Spirits for Becky’s October Squares.
Even though 2020 has been a crappy year, I want to say I’m thankful for being alive, that me, Frank & none of my immediate family have contracted covid. I’m thankful to all my friends on WP because I would have had a rough 6-8 months after losing my 11 1/2 year job in March. You provided me with a platform to remain the social person that I am. It has allowed for me to be creative which I have to have to survive.
So, here is to the next 500 posts, whatever they may be!!! And closing the door to 2020, a year that will stand out in the history books!
This is the new coffee mug in my Etsy shop! Check it out and other gift items here. I ship overseas. Just got an order from Germany this morning. I’ve shipped to several areas in the UK, Germany, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and throughout the United States.

Tired of the mess we are in! My chiropractor was positive and I had seen him within 2 weeks. I went and got tested and I was negative. Otherwise, we are doing good. I think we will have some hiking opportunities next week so I’m excited to go birding. 🙂 We are well into our 2nd wave that hasn’t stopped long enough to get into a 3rd. As of today, we have 803K positive cases, & 240 shy of 17K deaths in Florida! Yes, not the US….in Florida. Ridiculous! But, I’m hopeful for Tuesday and the outcome of the presidential race. Frank had nightmares last night about it. Neither of us have been this stressed out over a darn election! EVER! I will keep praying for you to get your operation soon and get back to a normal life. 🙂 xoxoxo-virtually of course! LOL!

This Covid is a real pain, we are in a country wide second lock down from this Thursday through to 2nd December. I do hope you can go out hiking and birding because as things are going there might be a third or even a fourth wave yet. We are praying that you can get the best possible outcome… Though to me there is no real choice between Trump and Biden? I do hope things will improve for you soon. 💜💜

Well, it’s looking a little better today but I think Trump will have to be taken out of the White House by force come January. Put me back in the Marine Corps!!! I’d take so much pleasure in removing him from the power trip he is on. 🙂

Hi Charles! It has been a strange year and unfortunately 2021 doesn’t look much more promising. Our covid numbers are going up and up and up! I’m posting every day and haven’t missed a day since April. Having fun with that but also spending a lot of time on my Etsy shop. A ton of time on that. Jobs are scarce so I’m all in on the business. 🙂 Glad you are okay and it’s good to hear from you. 🙂
