My Two Year Blog-Aversary

As I am scooping up doggie poo so Senior can mow the back yard It hit me:  "holy cow, its been two years blogging today"  okay, so I kind of got that idea for the sentence from PP who was shoveling manure a few weeks ago and thinking about politicians. But really, I was cleaning up the poo.

Had it really been two years since Stephen and Senior encouraged me to start this little blog? Yes it has. Two years to the day when I was out hanging up clothes and my blog title lit up like a light bulb over my head. I ran in and told Senior, "How about Tales from The Clothesline" ?  It made perfect sense because that is where most of my ideas hit me, that is the one place where I think about current events and ponder our government.  I know, "Nothing like hanging up seniors underwear to make a person think about our world".. 
Two years wow!   I still have not hit 100 followers. But that is okay. I have tried my best to stay true to myself and write about the things I know. 

On this my bloggy anniversary  I was reading SciFiChicks blog post this morning about meeting some long time blogger friends of hers.

 Kymber and I have been talking about her and Jambaloney driving the short distance of 59 million miles to hang with us at the country estate.  I started wondering,  In my two years of blogging if I could hang out with members of my blogger family, who  would it be and why?

Probably first and foremost on my list, and because she has been a follower and some one I call my Sister  would be Kymber and Her better half Jambaloney. I know with them we would stay up laughing all night around a fire pit. JB would make some great mixed drinks, and we would definitely eat.
As long as she doesn't show up wearing her pink playboy bunny suit, and promised not to make me eat pickled beets we would be okay...lol 
We would talk a lot about gardening and prepping. Swap ideas, and recipes. And of course eat lots of eggs fried in bacon grease... I bet I could even entice her to rummage through antique stores for old canning jars.

Then there is Mamma and Papa Bear  because I live on her blog, and utilize lots of her recipes.  I also admire her for being such an inspiration in the way she takes care of her son The Marine, that I would just love to give her and Papa a big hug, and be able to shake The Marines hand. I would also love to pick her brain about keeping chickens and turkeys.

Of course there is my other long time buddy Rob he like Kymber, has also been a long time follower and I as well on his blog. I feel like I have been through the thick and thin of it with Rob and his family. I would like to do an old fashioned back yard BBQ with them all. And give him some more lessons on prepping, and chew the proverbial fat about the economy and such.

Can't forget Pioneer Preppy little does he know, I am intrigued with his bee keeping skills, and have actually learned quite a bit. I would love to meet he and his family so I could see him in action , and watch the honey extraction process in person--and maybe get a lovely jar of all that natural goodness.
and no Kymber you can't have it!

An Old NFO I would just love to be sitting at the table with he and Senior hearing all their sea stories, would make for an entertaining evening indeed. Having all the military knowledge in one room would be incredibly over whelming and send a tingle up my leg.

I would love to reach out and give Ms. Beth Marie a hug..she has been through a lot and could probably use one. Then I would want to see all those wonderful black and white photos of hers and beg her to let me scrapbook some and create her an album.  : )

If I met SciFiChick, I would hide my head because I screwed up her Rustic Italian bread recipe a few weeks ago--today is take 2, hopefully it comes out better then the ginormous loaf I first tried.

Also K- Our kids are around the same age, and he and Senior are both college students. I know we would have tons in common and have enjoyable dinner table discussions on it all. Plus it also hit me that its time we had another famous blogger cook-off.

*SIGH* I could never narrow it down to just one follower. So many other good people whom I did not list that I would love to meet. If I ever had to decide, there is no way I could.

So to all of you I say a big THANK YOU, for being a second family, for all the advice, and support.
While I may not always comment on your blogs, or respond on mine. I do read them, flip through them, and I appreciate them all.

HUGS AND KISSES TO ALL OF YOU...
