  33. Yours is one of the blogs I wouldn't miss for its diversity and depth of interest... The many travel photos, museum tours and that Oscar de la Renta exhibit took the cake...speaking of which, that polka dot cake would take the cake for me as a prize ....but the who hounds would probably confiscate it and claim it for themselves. Happy 9th, Edgar and, hopefully, many more to come.

  72. We started our blogging journey about the same time. I had to check…my 1st post was 5/3/07. Where do the years go? I remember, way back when, participating in SO many exchanges and hoping that I would one day get an exchange piece from you, which I did, a few times. :-)
    Wishing you many more years of productive and enjoyable stitching/blogging!
