Life Never Ceases To Amaze Me-700 Posts


Sun Rays


While driving through Virginia today and taking these shots I had no idea that I would also be making my seven hundredth post. On June 22, 2007 I made my very first post titled welcome:CLICK HERE TO VIEW. In exactly eleven days The Painted Veil will be one year old. I truly had no clue that my anniversary was approaching. And I must say that I am completely astonished that in under a year I have completed seven hundred posts. I think I shall spend the next few days just savoring this accomplishment, by taking a ton of pictures and making rounds to visit everyone, that is if my signal will allow. I do so hope everyone will join me in my celebration. After all, if not for all of you my dear friends, readers, and supporters, I wouldn't still be here. Thank you all so very very much from the bottom of my heart.

Whoa! Very beautifully taken pictures.

Congrats on your 700th post!

I wonder how wide is the Mississppi River? I'm trying to calculate how long it would take Zubli to swim across it, struggling with two rattlesnakes at the same time! hahaha.....

700 Shinade! Congratulations! Wasn't there once a club called "The 700?" That was different, though, little as I know of it and as short as my memory is.
Main thing: you've posted 700 times. Woo-hoo!

Shinade spoke up on June 13, 2008 1:25 AM

Oh my Cinnamon,
Not really....I think I am probaly just a little nuts. At least that's what my hubby would tell you.

It's hard for me to take a compliment...it humbles me so..it truly does!!

But, thank you ever so much for those lovely words.

I hope to get to know you better soon after my little break.

Thanks again for dropping in!!:-)))
