Post 100

This post marks the 100th of my short, low-profile blogging career.

Having a blog has forced me to do something I have never been able to do. Keep a journal for more than ten or twelve entries. I have scads of blank books. It's the go to gift for people who don't know what to get me, and none of them have enough entries to represent a significant amount of time. In January it will be a year since my friend Erin and I both decided to do this (it was her idea in the first place). I'm glad I did. 2008=100 posts=the most well-recorded year of my life. And it was a good one.

There's something about celebrating the 100th anything (100 days in school, 100 years, 100 bottles of beer on the wall. . . .) that creates an expectation for number 100 to be special in some way. So. . . .

Since this event of the 100th post coincides so nicely with the approaching new year, I will be changing the look of this blog in observation of both. Also, my husband got a fancy schmancy new camera from his parents for Christmas. To give him an opportunity to use it often, and encourage his long-time photography hobby, I will begin a new "Yet-to-be-named" photo series of some kind in January. Maybe I should call it "Inspired by Ann."

Hi Lori - happy holidays!
Like your new color scheme. I also updated my blog, and I couldn't find your email address, so I'm letting you know here, because my URL changed in addition to the layout. http://web.me.com/trixie11/Preacher/love/love.html

looking forward to the pictures!

"Inspired by Ann" ha, ha, ha!

I'm glad you like the photos on my blog. At first, I was happy to post my husband's photos, then my own inspiration kicked in and I started looking for artsy shots. Have fun with it.
