So Long – Its Been Good to Know You

This free blog spot is now at full capacity and once again it is time to relocate to a new Blog spot. This will be lucky number 7 in my 6 years of blogging. Some of you may know that I wavered back and forth as to whether to keep blogging or not. Thanks to so many of you for your encouragement to continue. I will do my best to deserve your confidence and readership. Thanks to all of you.

Below is the link to my new Blog spot. I hope you will visit, follow, like and or comment as your time allows. It has been a pleasure to have you all as readers.

Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement. I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure. I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

      1. I get it! I have been having issues for about a month now. Every time I write a post something seems to change. Currently when I copy and paste to Facebook the post photo no longer shows up…..ughhhhh…tech support probably groans when I show up!!! Good luck!!!!

      2. My big problem is that my posts all appear below the welcome Page and my first post which does not even act like a post. Then my widgets do not show. Hmmmm. A work in progress indeed. Cheers

    1. There is already one post there today and I believe it gives you the option to follow. 14 people have followed so far, so it must be working. Let me know if you have any problems Aiva. Thanks.

    1. Only the photo blogs tend to get full. I only have 3 gigs for media storage, so even when I resize the photos, I can only get about 500-600 posts. That is the price I pay for being too cheap for a paid site. Thanks for reading and commenting Ann. Allan

  13. Haaaa! Just read this. HOORAY for moving to new – free – sites! I’ve been on WordPress since 2006 & have more blogs here than I want to think about. A few are simply placeholders, ideas “for later;” some are memories/explorations of different times; and others (like the one I’m using now) are meant to support my haphazard marketing efforts.
    Thank you for following me!
    😁👋

    1. Thanks Kaya. Capacity on the free sites is only a thing for photobloggers. Each site has only three gigs of space for media. Given that my posts contain a lot of photos, I get about 500-550 posts before the media block fills up, even though I always reduce the size of the pix. No worries if you just use text or even a few photos. Many thanks for the follow and your comments Kaya. Stay well. Allan
