I want to thank each of you for visiting, whether it's been on a daily, weekly or occasional basis!
Also, a big Thank you! to those who've told their friends to visit!
I especially want to thank everyone who has been kind enough to comment over the years.
I really appreciate it when you tell me that your family enjoyed a recipe, or that it brought back memories.
I also like it when you ask if I have a recipe for a particular dish.
I’m Turning 60… continues to be more popular, with more than twice as many visitors - than its older ’sibling’ blog Winnipeg is Better Than Chocolate!
Really!!
I’m Turning 60… - with 1,158 posts - has had over 1,610,000 visitors since July, 2010, when Blogger started keeping track of both blogs.
That's more visitors than its ‘elder sibling’ blog, Winnipeg is Better Than Chocolate, which has 2,835 posts, and has received over 756,000 visitors.
That's less than half the number of posts with over twice as many visitors!
Let’s get back to the recipes which deserve the credit for all these visits!
