An anniversary and a toast to ourselves*

by chuckofish

Just about a year ago my sister (and dual personality) and I began this blog. The year skied by, and 341 posts later, I feel more connected than ever before to my far-flung siblings, children, niece, nephews, and friends. It has been wonderful to read their comments and those from complete strangers.

I admit, we mostly amuse ourselves, but occasionally we hear from the wide world. We have even received comments from Pigtown*Design’s own Meg Fairfax Fielding–a rock star in the blogging world.

So here’s to another year of books, movies, estate sale finds, family reminiscences, Episcopal Church marginalia, music, poetry, Frederick Buechner, Raymond Chandler, embarrassing picture Mondays, and fat baby Fridays! And a big shout-out to our 36 (!) followers–we appreciate you all!

*Traditionally the Royal Navy toasts to “ourselves” on Wednesdays.
