Can It Really Be 15 Years?

I haven't been keeping up well with my blog during the past few weeks, but I knew I had to write a post today. It is my 15th blogiversary, after all.

Lisa Hork Gorrell and I started our blogs the same day, lo those 15 years ago. She started a couple additional ones with specific focuses, but I've kept only this general one, lumping all of my posts together.

Who knew we would last this long?

I didn't keep quite the same pace in 2025 as I did the previous year, but I had 125 posts, which averages out to about one every three days. That isn't too bad.

I posted many more photographs from the "photo bonanza" that my sister's niece scanned. I still haven't received the boxes of original photos, so I don't know if anything was missed or if there really are two copies of all the photos that have two scans. But I have identified a lot more of the photos and used some unusual resources to determine more information about them.

I also wrote several posts based on "national day of . . ." prompts. I found a few sites that promote these days (I'm pretty sure they all make money by getting companies and people to pay to have a "day of whatever" and then advertise the days on the sites). I've discovered that they can act as prompts to remember events and stories from my family and my own life, so I've written about them. Documenting ourselves is something genealogists are reminded to do, right?

And of course I sprinkled several Wordless Wednesdays and Saturday Night Genealogy Fun posts in there also. Those are staples for getting me thinking of something I can write about.

I have a lot more ideas, too: research I haven't written about yet, more "days of", more great photos to share. I'm going to try to catch up during the next month and get back to my old pace.
