Hard to believe how many years have gone since then. I looked back at my first blog entry on LJ...the night before my 30th birthday. Wow! So much has happened since then. It is nice to have that chronicle of those years to reflect upon, isn't it?Tammi Haynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473259789473757583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603716759637498541.post-66112306042772001462012-01-17T18:33:20.272-04:002012-01-17T18:33:20.272-04:00~ Marsha!

I can't remember how I stumbled on your blog about 2 years ago but I'm so glad I did. My brother & sister-in-law, both Nova Scotia lovers, are the proud owners of 2 of your calendars & one of your prints I gave her for her birthday. They love your work as much as I do.<br /><br />Take care,<br />Marsha from MassachusettsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603716759637498541.post-52192573798291607562012-01-17T11:58:02.605-04:002012-01-17T11:58:02.605-04:00Kerry~ That is interesting, Jill wanted a place to...Kerry~ That is interesting, Jill wanted a place to post her pictures too.Yes,the social networking is wonderful!<br />Zottal~Why not try to write long form again.

It sounds very cold where you are and what a gorgeous landscape! <br /><br />Your web-design is optimal and quite deserving of a Canadian Blog Award 2012. <br /><br />How I Started Blogging(Thanks for asking): <br /><br />Something about Vox.com made me feel safe. <br />My mother and brother preferred watching the multi-media platform to reading my political rants on Blogger, too.<br /><br />Vox ended when we got too much porn-spam from Russia. But I miss writing long-form. Most of what I write today is in 2d or 4th grade-level headlines! <br /><br />I also miss the sense of international community. <br />It was so fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603716759637498541.post-72689674032447506482012-01-17T10:35:16.745-04:002012-01-17T10:35:16.745-04:00I was introduced to blogging 4 years ago by a woma...I was introduced to blogging 4 years ago by a woman from Newfoundland. I told her how much I liked to take photos but didn't know what to do with them all...introducing, BLOGGING!<br />I found it an excellent form to document a trip to Ireland with my dad as well. It's a fantastic way to look at the world in a new way. It seems everything and everyone has a story to tell. I like that. I also find it a great networking/pr medium.<br />Cheers and congrats!Kerry O'Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951445594586971908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603716759637498541.post-68220620014592181882012-01-17T08:04:59.045-04:002012-01-17T08:04:59.045-04:00Dorothea~ I remember your health blog!

My story is much more mundane. I was trying to find somewhere to put my photographs online and saw that flickr would let me link to my blog. So of course I had to go out and start one!

Oh, by the way, I have your calendar hanging in my office and just a few minutes ago a lady I work with stopped by to compliment me on it and look through all your beautiful paintings.
