So the other day I was goofing around and checking out my own tags at technorati just to see who and when had used the tags I had used. Then I saw some other little linky button thing that I didn't know what it was. Of course I clicked it. It took me to some list of people who had linked to my journal.
Okay, most of them were people I knew and I remembered the entry they had done and why they had linked to me. Some were merely because they had me listed in their sidebar. But I noticed one that I didn't recognize, and the name intrigued me: The Bayou.
So, (Mrs. Lindsey, my 6th grade English teacher is rolling over in her grave as I am starting so many sentences with prepositions. She once told me that I had a flare for writing, but would have to have a full time person to check my spelling and such. She had no clue that spell check was coming. ) Where was I? Oh!!
So, I clicked that link to see what was what. There was an entry that was informative and humorous about where is mile marker zero. At the end of the entry, the author had a list of Ten Texas Blogs You Should Read Today. Here's the surprise part, Life & Faith in Caneyhead was one of them!!
So, now I am really, really curious. Who is this Gator and what kind of blog is this? Turns out that the Bayou is one of several blogs associated with the Beaumont Enterprise newspaper. We're just 33.5 miles NE of Beaumont up here in the woods. Heck, my job is in Beaumont!
Well, there you have it. Aren't you just as surprised as I am? How neat! How awesome!
Now thats very interesting, amazing in fact that you found it. I too like to start sentences with prepositions. I was just looking at your map here and thinking I have visited most of the cities shown there. I was thinking about why I went to each place. Paula
ReplyDeleteWell that is interesting. I never add tags to my journal. Maybe I should LOL. I have never tried the link to journals either. Maybe I should check some of these things out. Helen
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Linda

ReplyDeleteI have people tell me all the time I write well. Little do they know how much spell check and my proof reader (Doc) help. Goes to show you never really do know who is reading your journal. (Hugs) Indigo

That really is cool Barbara. You are one of the best- to me anyway! Good for you! God Bless you and keep on writin'- even if your grammar is lousy (so's mine, so who's keepin' points?!) Caroln :-)
ReplyDeleteMy oh my... well, I guess there's a couple of ways to look at this: either you're becoming a celebrity in Beaumont, or someone in Beaumont is stalking you... just figured I'd leave you with a happy thought! lol... have a great day Barbara :)
