Blogiversary Number Four

I've been blogging for Four Years!  I just a plain blogger, not fancy, except for my blog design, it's fancy.  I started blogging after Carrie moved to the other coast, the Right Coast.  She started a blog, and I thought it was a really great way to stay in touch.  It was that, and so much more.

I've "met" some wonderful people blogging, even met some of them IRL.  I have blog friends all over the country and a couple in other countries.  I've even been sad when one of them stops blogging, it's like loosing contact with a cousin.

I have many interest; so I have many blogs; a quick glance at the "nav bar" at the top, proves my point.

I just checked my dashboard and here are the current stats:

82,826 page-views
2956 post
250 followers

Yes, I actually average 2 post a day.  Some times, I post a lot, some times I hardly post at all; but mostly I just post what and when I want.

I thought I'd do a give away to celebrate Four Years.  It's a one pound box of See's Candy


If you'd like to win, leave me a comment about your favorite winter meal.  If you happen to have a favorite vegetarian recipe, I'd appreciated it, because of Bob's new diet.  If you're a follower, leave me a separate comment, for another entry.  This is open to international readers, too.

I'll use a Random Number Generator, to choose a winner on 12/15.

Comments are now closed.
Be well and do good,

    Congrats on the blogiversary. Four years is a great effort! Here's to many more.
    I love See's candy. The only time I can have it is when we fly through SFC from Melbourne. So not very often!
    I am a soup person, too, when it comes to Winter meals. My fav is bacon, tomato and lentil with warm crusty bread. Mmmmm....

    Wow 4 years. Well done you!
    One of our favourite meals is a Chill Chicken and Beans casserole with wraps, but you can leave out the chicken. In fact it started life without chicken and has grown from there. Each one has different ingredients!

    So glad that you are in the blogging community! Hoping for many more years of your posts! My favorite winter meal is vegetable soup. I don't really have a recipe. I just cut up veggies and beef (sorry, Bob) and let it simmer for hours. I do love mixed nuts and hummus. They make great snacks for mid-day. Take care!

    Congratulations! My favorite winter meal is Chili with lots of cheddar cheese on top. It's easy enough to make that in a vegetarian variety, but I'm a meat lover lol.

    4 years, wow! Congratulations on the anniversary.

    Mmm, Sees Candies. They were a tradition in my husband's family but until just a few years ago, I'd never had Sees. Now I understand why my mother-in-law would never share her birthday chocolates with anyone. :)

    Congrats on your blogiversary. I just found you from your SMS giveaway blog post.
    My husband jsut started a new diet too so I feel your pain. You are a good wife to help him out. We are big fans of Meatless Mondays. It took some getting used to, but now it's fine. We make these:

    4 years of blogging - congratulation! In winter I love to cook and eat ragouts and soups. They are good for inner warmness. My favorite is a vegetable stew with all lokal vegetables which are typical at fall (carrots, potatoes, sellerie, pumpkin etc.), seasoned with fresh herbes and served with frensh bread or homemade bread.
    Thank you for the chance of this giveaway. I love chocolate!
