Good Bye Blog

It's time to say good bye to my blog.  I've had fun writing it.  I started out with it being sorta like my "family journal", and it has worked good for that purpose for many years.  And I think... hope?... that it has been fun for family and friends to have a chance to keep up with us.  But things (and electronics) are changing.  I post a lot of pictures on Facebook.  And I write in my own personal journal (but not nearly as often as I would like or should).  I have decided that Facebook and my personal journal are enough.  When I first started my blog, it served it's purpose.  But now it seems like it's just duplicate work.  So I have decided it's the end of an era and my blog will be no longer.  Maybe I'll make it into a book or something.

Thanks for reading my blog over the years!

As a final goodby, I thought it would be fun to post "THEN" and "NOW" pictures.

So here are the pictures from the right hand column of my blog that have been there since Jan 2011 ... not quite the start of my blog, but close.  I intended to update them along the way, but never did.  I'll post them side by side... 

Jan 2011 vs. Jan 2016.  Wow, they have changed so much in 5 years!!

So farewell and Happy End of Blog... or something like that.  On to new and different and things!

Good bye!
