Just for fun, just to review

I am going to sneak a second post in for 2017, but honestly, it's a cheat - I am reviewing a few old posts, so not really much new content, but some are good reminders for me.

If you happen to think like me and enjoy the background whys of the way things are, you might find these posts about my title interesting:

A Place

Two posts from "saying something" for baby shower for friends at church. A delightful friend both times blessed my heart by enthusing over them and telling me I was a writer. Might be good reminders for me to reread too as a mommy.
How to Be a Good Mommy
A Thousand Times

And from 2011, my most prolific year at 18 posts all by August.

Short and to the point. Interesting to me because this was referring to my oldest, one of my daughters. Currently I am having frequent discussions with my now 3, almost 4 year old youngest, one of my sons. Apparently kids still say odd things about the rather complicated issue of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

This one I "have" to link to every year just because it is one of my favorites (okay, probably favorite). It garnered the most responses in more than one venue, it is super short, and it is just silly. Perhaps intelligent silliness (if I dare say that about myself), but silly nonetheless.

Sigh.
Yes, embarrassing as it highlights rather obvious failure. But I included it more for this note: In the left column where it says "Mail Call!" just type in your email address, click the "Submit" button and follow the instructions.  I've tested it and all you'll get is an email for any day I post.  So if I do two posts in one day you only get one email.  The email shows the blog title, the post title, and a few sentences of the post.  Both the blog title and the post title can be clicked on to get to the blog. That's it.

So, I really want to know: Does this still work? Does anyone still get these emails? 

It’s not like I am drowning anyone in emails with posting every other year. It’s also quite likely I end up in spam folders or lost amid an inundation of other emails.

Oh, the questions! And the answers are: No, no, no, and apparently no.

Which all this review brings me to this question: is this blog completely self-centered and solely to please me? Is it worth continuing? 

Well, maybe I'll figure that out in 2019. With that in mind, looking ahead just for fun - 2019 brings us 15 years of marriage, four decades of life for me, my husband will be one year off as old as I am now, our first teenager, two kids in double digits, needing to report three kids for homeschooling, and no kids younger than five.
