Milestones

Yesterday marked Elayne Riggs’s decade in blogtopia. One of the archæobloggers, she has been posting Silly Sites for 10 years with few breaks in her daily output. One of her ‘blogarounds’ is a phenomena in its own right.

Today Fallenmonk and Jill of Cookies in Heaven and skippy the bush kangaroo celebrate birthdays.

Sigh, we are all getting older. Seems like it happens every day. 😉
