Thank you Elizabeth for the lovely award and bestowing it on all of us that crossed the finish line! (I know some are still crossing; you can do it).
I was amazed and stunned at the turn out; I'm guilty of hitting the surprise button. At first I chose a number at random and thought I would get through the list; I did not. I found some of the links were ads and then I started to skip around. I was so pleased with the variety of post, some silly, some new talented writers, wonderful poems, recipes, informative writing tips, stunning photography, amazing art work, such a wonderful variety.
Over all I felt overwhelmed; I started the challenge with high hopes, the middle was fine, but the end was sad for me. I couldn't keep up, between early bird husband pecking at me "Let' Go, that can wait", to trying to stay up late with my daughter on spring break(when she wanted me to watch a movie, with her). I let her have her space. College bound son also had a different schedule gearing up for final exams. Husband surprised me last Tuesday, with taking the rest of the week off; tornado warnings twice in 10 days, losing the power; it was frustrating. We are fine, but I just can't do my blog posts with my family gathered around. I thought I could stay up later than everybody and post or at least start a post. Didn't happen, that way...when I tried, someone also wanted to talk or wanted me to come see this. I struggled to finish, but I'm glad I did. I am happy I made some new friends, followers and found a way to finish what I started.
Thank you Lee and your posse for guiding us through; they say things come in threes... Remember we have almost a whole year to consider this notion. ;-D Thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by and share your thoughts! I am happy I met you and I'm still trying to stop by. Life might almost be normal today....Nope, no such thing; son is home today~

your follower numbers jumped dramatically!:) congratulations on your finish!
Holly-Yeah, we did do it!!! Yes, you are so right~
bkm-We pressed onward; I like you had good intentions, but it doesn't take much to throw one off track. My family is good for derailing me. I don't mean that is bad, but they just don't understand my blogging life. I am happy you did do your best!
Richard-Thank you; I love to garden, I'd plant more if time n' money would allow~
Bud-Thank you; yes I was stunned! I tried to post on your blog???
Bossy Betty-Yes, we did it! Congrats to you and all who wove they way through! It was worth it~
Mood-I will come visit you, too. I did recently, but see you were still zzzz sleeping; I will try again soon! :D

A blog series about numbers? Sounds fun, but maybe I'll leave to you or someone else to do. It's a great idea though.
Be seeing you!

You're so right about the wonderful variety of blogs. The 'Surprise Me' button was a lot more fun than zapping TV channels. :-)
