Another Milestone


Dear blogging friends, today marks my second year of blogging, and I wish to thank you all for your visits, good conversation and sharing. I'm sending you each a virtual piece of red velvet cake while I work on tomorrow's posting.

    Hello Mark:
    To have maintained the exceptionally high standard of 'All Things Ruffnerian' over two years is, we feel, an enormous achievement and deserving of many, many congratulations.

    The Federico da Montefeltro hat, now your hat, makes an excellent cake.

      Thanks, Rosemary! I wonder now whether eating a hat is not unlike eating crow!

    Mark,
    My blog reading has slipped of late but I saw your post and wanted to wish you a happy anniversary. Welcome to the Terrible Twos when you may often question why it was you ever started a blog. The answer is you give us a five-minute vacation with each post and we learn something new with each little trip.
