Happy Birthday to ME

Happy Birthday to me.
Happy Birthday to me.
Happy Birthday dear blog.
Happy Birthday to me. 

My first blog post was ten years ago on my first day of retirement. Blogging was on my bucket list.

The median number of posts for a blogger before they hang it up is about three. I am 7500 and counting. Being able to talk/write when you really have nothing much to say is an art.

My first blog post was about flour-corn


My second blog post was about the "Wellness Wheel". I think this concept aged well.

My 4th post was about Orchard Grass pollen. This picture was taken 6 hours after exposure, 100mg of diphenhydramine and two rounds of Opcon A eye-drops.

The second week had a couple on "Things that go Bump in the Night"

And then the food-pron started.

Thanks for making this blog part of your day or week. Your comments made me a better person.

  24. Well, here I am in my usual form... Late to the party! Happy blog birthday! A weekly reader here, I appreciate your writings and also pick up tidbits I use occasionally. I find time to catch up every week since discovering ERJ a couple years ago. My retirement is in sight and in less than a year I hope to find time to be a daily reader....
