Happy blogiversary

Today is the first anniversary of my blog.
In honor of this auspicious occasion, I am doing a year in review. (Cue violin music)
Walk with me through the misty water colored memories of the way we were.

I had planned to download photos for each month. Alas, blogger is not working for me today. Maybe I'll get it to work later today.
