  1. Three years of blogging. In blogger's years, that makes you, like, 27 years old. Congratulations on your stick-to-it-iveness. Maybe we'll even meet in Ohio?

  2. Mary Lee & Franki,

    Wishing you a belated Happy Bloggiversary! This past holiday season was particularly busy for me--so I haven't been blogging much.

    Love A Year of Reading! Keep up the good work, ladies.
