43 Last Post for October 15, 2026. my 17th year.

Well, it's been a fun 17 years. I'm closing my blog on the exact date I began it, that is October 15. You can see that first post below and what the topics were as my guest posts. My first guest one was in 2006. I haven't decided when to take this down from the internet it's a hard decision, but I will begin deleting my long list of surnames. I might even pop in from time to time to share something important. However, I am very glad that I have all my favorite posts now, easy for me to find.

Thank you for reading or just looking at the pictures, either way makes me happy.

For a short time, the above photo was used for my blog heading. I had to wait until summer to take the one I still use. My iPads (5 different ones) took about 99% of the photos you see.
