Two Decades of Laura's Miscellaneous Musings

Twenty years ago today Laura's Miscellaneous Musings began.

Even as I type those words, it hardly seems possible!

On July 16, 2005, my oldest daughter helped me set up this blog. (It is family lore that she did it to pass the time while watching out the front window for the delivery of a brand-new Harry Potter book!) I never could have foreseen then how this blog would develop over the years, including the friends made and many amazing experiences.

There truly aren't words to express my appreciation to each and every reader -- including dear friends and family no longer with us -- for your support and friendship over the past two decades.

Thank you all!

Here's to the next 20 years!

Previous blog anniversaries: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Wow! Congratulations! That is a huge milestone! The sheer amazing content you continue to put out is so wonderful. I still look forward to every post of yours! I know I have been reading and following for... what, at least 14 of those years? I know I commented in 2011 for sure, don't remember if it was earlier. Congrats again!
