My blog is six years old

Today is the sixth anniversary of my blog. On that Tuesday in 2006 when my blogging began I was reading The Gentleman in Trollope, Barchester Towers, and Tea with Jane Austen.

 Here's a post from that first year of blogging:

We were in the grocery store yesterday and there they were – boxes of Crayola crayons with 64 colors. Wilhelm was looking at light bulbs – we use those curled ones that are energy saving and don’t burn out as quickly, but they hide them in the light bulb display so it was taking a while.

Anyhow, from the other side of the aisle those crayons were singing to me. In Greek. I think Wilhelm had earplugs because he didn’t hear a thing. I told him I was going to cut them up to add extra color to salads (they are edible, you know), but he didn’t buy that. He did buy the crayons.

As Miss Woodhouse and I were admiring them later he said, offhandedly, “Now I suppose you’ll want the bigger box.” Bigger Box! A box with more than 64 colors?

I was on the Internet in a flash and there on the Crayola site was a box with 120 colors. It will be here within 5 business days.

Congrats on keeping your blog going for six years! Your book reviews are always a treat for me (even when you aren't happy with the material). Gracias.

Thank you, Kimberly. I'm getting pretty grouchy, aren't I . . .

Happy blogiversary! My 6th is coming up next month. Never thought I'd be blogging this long, but I can't imagine not doing it either.

It's hard to believe we've been "friends" for six years now, Les. In some ways it seems forever.
