Blogiversary
Well, it has been one year.
One year of full-on blathering.
Doesn't time fly?
Initially, I was a blog reader.
I was a mother to blog writers.
I was a mother to blog writers.
I was a bit harassed by some to start a blog.
Still, I drug my feet.
Still, I drug my feet.
I thought I had nuthin' to say.
Really, who knew?
Well, most of you.
I blabbed on facebook.
I wrote long comments on others' blogs.
I am a talker.
Hi, my name is Janie
and I can't shut up.
I have now realized I love to blog.
I've got stories to tell.
I think I might implode if I don't get them out.
I have documented big events and little events.
The connections I have made through blogging
have been such a life blessing.
I have made some real friends.
I have even hugged a few of you.
There are several more I badly wanna hug.
A lot of you make me laugh/cry or both.
I have fallen in love
with your interaction in the process.
I love your comments.
I don't check my statistics much,
and my follower count is not super important to me.
But being read, yeah I dig it.
Your comments make me do a happy dance.
So in honor of my 1st year
I am asking you to leave me a comment.
Quit stalking and chat up.
Oh, I know you are out there.
I sometimes check those stats
and there are a lot of peeping Toms...
(by the way, hey cousin Tom, wasup?)
So celebrate with me and blather me back.
I love ya, I really really do.
So share the love and make my day.

You don't have to beg to get me to comment! But you already know that.
Where in the world do you find your "statistics"?
An Anniversary, then a Blogaversary - you got it goin' on. I'm a somewhat new FOLLOWER, yes, always late to the party, but I am a FAN! Love your "blathering", you are so darn funny and beneath all the silliness you have such a warm, Godly heart. Could there be a better combination?!
I love your blog, it puts me in touch with some old school friends and it makes my heart happy! Keep it up you DO have an impact on peoples lives in a very good way. Keep it up..... :)

Happy Blogaversary! I enjoy your post so much...they are so warm and funny, you really brighten my day. I only have 14 followers {sigh}...but they are all special to me. My blog is still a secret from my friends and family so I feel really honored to have 14 followers...that a year ago were total strangers. Tis a big old goofy cyber-world.
Happy Blogaversary to you! I love blogging because it is the story of our lives. We are making history! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!
xo, Cheryl
Happy Blogaversary to you and your wonderful blog!
hee hee...love it!! Chat up!
I love your spunky style and the interaction, too.
I started a new blog. long story. i tried changing my url in the fall, but had issues. tried chaning it back, more issues. blogger's advice was to export posts and import them to a new url...so voila...new blog...http://redoaklane.blogspot.com
Best wishes for a year of GOOD things for you and your family!
OK. That's it. We have to be friends. I have been stalking you from way back when the Coop Keeper dragged us over, and then your trips, and now Becky. Law. We're friends. It's settled. Come over and check me out too. I'm not crazy. Well, mainly.
wow..one year and I remember when I first read your first blog post..you were funny then and you are funny now!! Happy Anniversary!
You know I love you and I am counting on that in person hug!!
Janie, I think you are awesome and I wanna be just like you when I grow up!
Happy Blogaversary!

I'm a stalker...love that you can't shut up. Keep it up!
Happy blog-aversary! Guess what? We had the exact same bridesmaids dresses, except mine were wine-colored. My wedding dress was kind of like yours, too. And we both like old, dusty stuff. Scary... ;)
I love your blog openly.
No stalking involved.
But Cousin Tom does sound pretty awesome...
Congratulations on the accomplishment, my friend.
So glad we've met in the blogosphere.
XO
Happy blogaversary! You always make me think funny thoughts for the rest of the day. Or nice thoughts, or sometimes thoughtful thoughts. You are a good woman and a great ma & granny. Susan Stephens
My name is Becky and I am a blalker (blog stalker). Keep up the good work. I'm more of a reader than a talker so us readers need you talkative people to keep us entertained. Be sure and check out this local blogger: just makethecoffee.com

Mommy 2
P.S. I am mostly a blog reader...but I should go work on my blogs now. ;~)
I'm a stalker, and a fan. My favorite blogs are the ones where you list the things you know, they are so true! I also love that "you can't care" it about sums up all the stuff that's just not important enough to worry about!
Thanks Brenda
Blogland is so much better since you joined its ranks. Keep up the good work, I so enjoy reading about you and your family. Love, love, love baby Ollie,.....:-)Hugs

Happy Anniversary! I love your blathering...reading it makes me feel as good as lying around in flannels & slippers, sipping hot coffee with a best friend. Have a wonderful New Year. Looking forward to each new post.
Hi there, love your blog, I am one of those people that reads but doesn't comment. :-) You keep on blathering for us.
YAY for one year!!! Please don't stop any time soon I really enjoy your Blather!!!
Hi Janie my name is Peg and I'm a stalker. Whew, that felt good. I'm coming clean, I read you everyday, yep I do. You and your family make my day most days. Keep up your good work, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, kinda like I'm part of your beautiful family. Are there 12 steps to this, I've admitted I'm powerless to stop reading your blog, now on to the next 11 steps. Yea me!
Janie,
YOU make my heart happy! I laugh out loud at my computer and secretly wish I was your fourth daughter.
Your stalker,
Jamie J.
You've only been doing this for a year? I think you were born to blog! :D
I just came over while bloghopping and loved your blog so much I've become a follower, and look forward to reading your past posts.
Congratulations on your anniversary. Becca :-)
Dropping by from Farmhouse Paints and what a delightful site! I'm assuming that you are a Virginia gal too. I was born in Virginia and still have family in the Hampton area that I visit every Spring. Love, love Virginia!
So nice to meet you and I'll definitely be back!
I have to confess that I have been stalking your blog for several months. I think I found you through the Coop Keeper, and I can definitely see why you both get on like the proverbial house on fire! I love hearing about your family, your dogs, your house and "junk". I envy you for your country lifestyle and your happy marriage. Like you, I have a baby in Heaven, and I have also been blessed with 3 daughters and a son. Plus many furry and feathered friends! I love the way you can be hilariously funny, as well as serious and thought-provoking. Would love to fly across the world to visit you! Happy Blogiversary!!
Kathy from Tasmania
Well I was going to write a comment before I even got to your fishing for one! I LOVE your blog and LOVE what you have to say. You make me smile often. And I thank you so much for your support over these past 6 months! Come to NYC so you can give Graceland a hug!
Visiting from Becky's, so nice to "meet" you!
Janie, it has been fun to read your blog and keep up with your family! I get a kick out of your humor and your ability to write. Keep it up!
Happy Blogaversary, Janie! I, too, am a fan of the three dots...they make me very happy. The other thing that makes me happy? Reading your blog! =0)

Thanks for stopping by. Mabel is the funniest little girl. She's sweet and bossy at the same time. I love her name, it fits her so well.
