10,000

Wow!  10,000 pageviews!  I can still remember doing the first post April 5, 2007, when no one really even knew what a "blog" was.  10,000 is a bit of an arbitrary number, as I only started the counter in 2009, but it's still amazing to watch it climb every month.   And I only have you, my faithful visitors, to thank for that... so, THANKS!  The whole point of the blog is to give you something pleasant to look at... in counterpoint to all of the unpleasantness we see/hear in our daily lives.  So, hopefully, you agree and you will keep visiting... I guess 20,000 is the goal now!  I love your comments, so please feel free to leave your thoughts when you visit!  Thanks again!
