Aww, thanks, Mary!
Happy 11th! I’ve been following you for a few years now, and always enjoy the yummy posts and your tips for free goodies on birthdays.
Yay, thanks so much Susie!
Congrats on another year of writing! Is it really 11 already? Gee, I’m not far behind! Lists are fun and I should share some one day. Looks like I’ve been to 6 on your to-visit list but only 1 on your visited list (but I’m sure you’ve been to more than those 11 spots)!
Thank you! The time sure does fly by. Haha, yeah, I’ve been to more than the 11 spots. Gotta keep to my “11” theme.
Happy 11th! Time sure flies by, I could have sworn you were just celebrating your blogiversary a few months ago! Here’s to 11 more!
Isn’t it funny how the time just keeps flying right on by? Thank you!
Congratulations on your 11th Blogaversary Mary! I am so glad we met through our blogs and that we are friends in real life. I always enjoy your travel posts (plus quirky road stops), your recipes, and especially your pop culture references. Love it! May you have many more bloggy years ahead of you.
By the way, Vancouver BC is amazing and if you ever go to Hawaii, check out the Big Island (the rainy side, where Hilo is). 🙂
Thank you so much! I’m so glad we met through our blogs as well! Jake and I have our passports now so we can start doing some international travels in the future!
Congrats Mary on 11 years! I always enjoy your humor and sarcasm when writing about food (and Jake!) 🙂
Heehee, thank you so much!!
Happy 11th Mary!
Hooray, thank you!! You’ve been at it longer than me, my friend!
Congrats on your 11th!
Thanks so much!
