Happy Blogoversary to US!

 




Welcome to our 17th Blogoversary Party! We can't believe we reached 17 years of blogging. Our first blog post was on July 5, 2008. Click HERE to read our very first post!!! Pretty amazing, huh? Great graphics too....NOT! We've come a LONG way from that first post.  We actually blogged every day except for two weeks after our Daddy went to Heaven.  The support of our friends in the Blogosphere has been such a great help to us as we have gone through happy times and sad times.  We love you all!

Our first comment was from Kattonic Cats. They don't blog anymore, but their Mom is on Facebook. We hope she stops by today. In honor of our Blogoversary, we're doing a comment-a-thon. Mom will donate $1 for every comment (up to $50) to the Rescue or Shelter of YOUR choice! You can comment until Wednesday, July 9, to enter! Now, let's party!!!

We have crab cakes...
Fish on a stick...


Soft shell crabs (for Teddy and his Mom)

Nip covered shrimp...
Stinky goodness cocktails...



Niptinis

Cooper Murphy made us a delicious cake...




Thanks for joining us.  Don't forget to comment too!

Congratulations for doing the blog. I so thoroughly enjoy seeing the girls. Even through the difficult times you've managed to keep going. And it's a wonderful thing to donate. Now let's get down to it and party!

Once upon a "blog" ~ it has been a true pleasure to have known you, met you in person and shared much over these many years. Joy and sorrow, the changes of life ... I hope the years to come bring all good things to you, Sharon. May God watch over you and yours.
