Happy 10 Year Anniversary JimsJoint!!

Its hard to believe that our little blog that started as a way to document my bike rides and family stuff is still kicking 10 years later. Way back then our buddies the Champagne Crew started a family blog and I thought that was super cool. I got the quick demo and tutorial from Big Al and away I went.  Our blog is simple and exactly what I wanted it to be.  Over the years we have chronicled the ups the downs, the highs the lows, the peaks and valleys of our life.  Not so much the down stuff.  Only when needed to tell our story, and besides, our life is mostly up!

Over 750 blog posts. Almost 1000 comments to the various posts, and almost 100,000 lifetime page views! Not bad for a blog that was really only supposed to be for the family. But with internet searching and our word of mouth, I guess many others have stumbled upon JimsJoint at one time or another. 

I guess with anything that you do for 10 years, there are times that you do it well and times when you don’t. I haven’t been totally consistent with keeping up with what is going on, especially recently. I vow to change that now.  I’M BACK BABY!!
I often joke with Barb and the girls that JimsJoint is the Flaherty version of the “Notebook”.  That someday, in my old age, Barb will be reading me the stories here. But for now, here’s to another 10 years of JimsJoint!
From the Notebook:
-And they lived happily ever after            
-Who? Who did?                 
-Oh yes,                 
-of course.                 
-I remember now.                 
-It was us.                 
– It was us. It was us!!
– Oh, my darling.   
-Oh my sweetheart.                
-I love you so much.
