Well, January is Over. What Did I do that Month?

Why not post my photo of Dolly. I think she will bring a smile to all.

I posted a blog a day for the past 31 days in January. Many were of libraries, cemeteries, historic houses, and museums that were visited between 2032 and 2023. Some of my favorite ones like taking a backstage tour of a large Boston theater and visiting a museum with a collection of items of Georgia O'Keeffe. Although I posted quite a few related to genealogy research (libraries and cemeteries) the more popular of all 31 posts was the one about my Lexington house.

When I decided to post the Lexington house blog to a Lexington group, I received a huge surprise. Why? Well, I left that town in 1961 and have had no contact with my neighbors and now, I received three comments saying they remembered me! And I responded, telling them something about their family. The biggest surprise was a message from a realtor saying she knew the people who recently bought my old house!

As of this writing, I received just shy of 12,000 hits this month. I had many nice comments and sometimes didn't know if I was coming or going, especially since my goal was to post each day between 8-8:30...it was a great way to start my day. Since January is usually a miserable month for many, I made sure it wasn't for me. I now have posted 1,505 posts since 2009.  I will not be doing a daily post for February.

Thank you to those who took the time to read something I wrote in January.
