Twelve Years of Blogging

I started blogging in June of 2005. At that time we were living near Montross, Virginia and all that was available there was a very slow dial-up internet. For those who don't remember dial-up, you accessed the internet over a phone line that connected to your computer. The lines in our area there were old, which made the connection unbearably slow. I usually turned images off before connecting in order to speed things up a little. I could literally click on a link, walk to the kitchen and come back with a cup of coffee and still find the page had not finished loading!

So I didn't blog every day. About twice a week I drove to the library about 15 minutes away and used their high-speed internet. We only lived there for the summer, although we had planned to stay longer. Our community there was too isolated for me and the lack of fast internet made it seem more so. We wound up renting out the house there and moving back to our little chalet in Bryce Resort. It was still in the country but the community had more amenities and (ta-da!) high speed internet!

Fast forward ten years: We had moved a couple more times, first to a larger home in Bryce and eventually to a house in Warren County. These pictures are from Spring of 2015. By that time I was blogging just about every day.
