I just had to mention (before I finish our visit to Southern California) that today is the sixth anniversary of my starting this blog. And, of course, I started it with a complaint (I guess I might really be Victor Mildrew–my Brit friends know what I am talking about)about how much I hate the word “blog.” Here’s that first post.
I want to thank both my loyal readers who comment on just about everything. You are the best, and just know that many times, as I am writing, I think of one of you and say something like (in my head), “Bob will appreciate this,” or “I bet Susan comments on this one.” I wanted you to know it is you who has kept me doing this for six years, and it’s you who I hope will let me do it for six more.
I also want to tell new and old readers who only read this when I am traveling that it’s OK to do that. The rest of my life can be kind of boring. It’s even OK if you only read when we are traveling somewhere amazing, as opposed to my family trips. But keep coming back and checking in, as our travels will continue (I hope). You, too, are appreciated.
Thanks to all for putting up with my “luxury motor coach” and my “Don’t forget; if you click the first shot, you can scroll through with your arrow keys or by swiping. And PLEASE…don’t look at my photography on a phone. Please….,” and all my other repeated warnings and comments. I know I sound like a broken record sometimes but I really hate it when people look at my photos on a phone or cruise lines call a bus a “luxury motor coach.”
Lastly, a huge thanks to those of you who have commented on my photography. That’s the main reason I post here—my photos. Photography is my hobby, my passion and the best outlet for my creativity.
Watch this space in the future. More of all of it is still on the way.
OMG! I almost forgot this (shame on me). Thanks to my proofreader, my travel companion and the absolute love of my life. I write this blog for a lot of reasons but one of the biggest is to chronicle our life together. I love you, Kathleen. Thanks for putting up with all the time I have spent writing this.
