Miriam,
ReplyDeleteWell I have made the rounds congratulating the "Fab Forty." I saved you for last.
Randy may have given me the opportunity to test my blogging skills by being a guest on his blog, but it was you Miriam that gave me what I needed to even get that far.
Once I came out of the lurking closet, you welcomed me into the community and made me feel like I really belonged.
Congratulations!
Congratulations Miriam! I can't imagine you not being on the list!
ReplyDeleteI am very happy you were on the list. All your articles are class acts, and you don't rush anything through, just to post a blog. Thank you for all your efforts.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, ladies!
ReplyDeleteLook at you -- sitting right where you belong -- at the top of the list! Congratulations, Miriam! I do so appreciate your contributions to the geneablogging community. V.

ReplyDeleteCongrats, Miriam! You are the main reason I started blogging, so I am thrilled to see my mentor get such a wonderful recognition.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie! I've never considered myself a mentor before, so I feel very honored, especially since you've become such a diverse and popular blogger yourself!
ReplyDeleteYour busy blog is always a joy to read. There is so much to discover here. I can't always keep up, but I certainly try!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being recognized by Family Tree Magazine. You set a high standard that inspires many, including myself.
