Lest anyone think that yours truly is a blogging slacker, she'll note that since September 2007, the Matron has produced nearly 1100 high quality posts, averaging 1.4 entries a day. Please don't check her math. She's close.
But find a more reliable blogger who makes no money? Uh, no. Oh wait--that's the Catholic school girl guilt requiring that she quantify taking a day off. Funny how that stays with you.
So thanks to everyone who reads and writes and for the hundreds who show up here! She's grateful and buoyed by the readership. Even if the comments aren't staggering, the readership grows monthly. Thank you, everyone, for sharing your thoughts and lives. A special, warm thank you to those who are so faithful, coming here so often over those past three years. If you're ever in Minnesota . . . and she means that. Don't forget she's at mpetrie33@gmail.com
And a fruitful, complex, and surprising 2011 to us all!

It's been a pleasure 'knowing' you!

You are not so far away; plus, you happen to live in a spot near an American Girl store which will be where I'm headed! LOL! I'll be taking up your invitation to visit but know you'll likely be the woman who drives frantically past me as she's couriering her children to their next activity! That's okay too!
Happy new year, Mary!
Always a pleasure to visit. Happy New Year from one Mary to another!
Happy New Year, Mary!
And if you're ever down in Northern VA (but out near horse country and wineries)...
Enjoy the break! You are one of my favorite writers...it can't be easy keeping up the kind of pace you have done since starting. Congratulations!
Happy New Year, Mary. I always read, but seldom comment.
Happy New Year Mary,
I'm one of those low producing comment makers, but high producing smile makers from your posts. You have just the right mix of humor, kindness, gratitude and wit. Thank you for beginning so many of my days on just the right note.
Happy New Year to you and your family. Enjoy each precious minute.
It's not only the Catholic Schoolgirl; it's that darn Midwestern work ethic. I feel that way often. Rationalizing time to rest and take care isn't always easy, but it's necessary.
Wishing you a safe and happy 2011
Happy New Year, Mary....I stop by to read often and occasionally comment. If you're ever in the City of
Satan....
thank you for writing and sharing your heart and humor. Melinda
Happy New Year to you! I'm sure 2011 will be full of surprises.
No excuses needed, sweetheart!
