Here’s a list of the most viewed posts from the MowryJournal in its first year.
Don’t get me started on web statistics and their reliability. I’m out of media sales. However, here are the pages, in order, that the internet gurus of WordPress believe are the most popular … very unlike those that were my favorites, of course. Want to hop on a band wagon or three? Bon appetit!
Thanks to Living and Lovin who nominated MowryJournal.com for the Blog of the Year Award! Check Eunice’s blog out; it’s a great, pretty collection of pictures.
In turn, I’m going to recognize some of the blogs that I receive emails from every time they publish. They are truly some of my first reads in the blog world, and I heartily recommend them.
Some of the blogs have been recognized before with many, many awards (including Becca’s ultimate Best Blog Ever in the Universe!). Check’em out!
The ‘rules’ for this award are simple:
I’m very excited that MowryJournal has been nominated for the Liebster Award! Ainsley of ManyMuddyFootprints found MJ, and I thank her for this award! Check out her blog as she explores her local woods … and she has a tortoise named Henry. We need to see a picture!
Answer eleven questions from Ainsley:
Here’s my dad in his Skelly uniform. His main job was delivering bottled gas to farmers. Skelly was later purchased by Getty, and then by Texaco.
1. How many pets do you have? Three cats: Alfie, Ninja, and Sully (actually Lauren’s, but when she came home from college, Sully came with her).
2. Least favorite food? This is a tough one, as Velda has broadened my palate. But I’ll go with green peppers.
3. Weirdest thing you’ve ever done? I sold accordion lessons door-to-door. Yup, accordion lessons.
4. What was your inspiration for your blog? Several things, really, but the catalyst was definitely our search for the Perfect Margarita. As the process began, many people told me that I needed to share the results. A blog was the obvious way to do that. Since I had been thinking about writing for some time … a blog was born.
5. Is this your first award? Yup.
6. What’s your most embarrassing memory? Thanks for this. I really don’t know how to answer, but I’ll go with this horrible memory: I was singing “O Holy Night” as a featured soloist in the Graham Methodist Church. It’s a very challenging song, and I was probably in high school. And I failed. I simply didn’t have the range that morning … I had sung the song much better. But that morning, not so much.
7. Place you most love? Kauai has become our favorite getaway, without question.
8. Favorite sport? Baseball. Love to watch Dodger baseball.
9. How do you feel about hiking? Love it! Backpacking at Philmont was one of my great accomplishments: read about it in Get Big Ones.
1o. Where and what would you be doing if I find you on a Saturday afternoon? Lately, I’ve been watching football and working on the Hepler family photo scrapbook. Soon, I’ll be back in the garage doing woodworking, and I look forward to that transition!
11. How truthful were you on these questions? A Scout is Trustworthy. That’s never a question with me.
