Happy Birthday, Blog!

I've been writing this blog now for almost 7 years. My first entry, appropriately entitled "Welcome", appeared on February 4, 2011, just a few days following my retirement from work on January 31, 2011.

In that initial blog, I looked forward to leading a normal retirement life, but venturing out with Donna in our Rockwood 2604 travel trailer from time to time. Gosh, I really liked that trailer. And goodness, how quickly the time has gone by.

 A lot has happened since then. I won't bore you with the details, because you can read through my blog if you like, beginning with that first entry. I will tell you that, as far as I am concerned, the most exciting times revolved around the 2 times we lived in our trailer for extended periods of time. Beginning with the entry "Leaving San Angelo" on July 22, 2012, we spent 8 straight months in our Rockwood. About 3 years later, we spent 6 months in another trailer, our Coachmen Freedom Express. We began these travels with "Trip Update" on December 22, 2015.

We may have one more period of extended RV travel in us. I don't really like to say "full-time" because that sounds too ambitious and permanent for us, but it is always in the back of our minds.

In the meantime, here are some blog stats.

As of this writing, I have 757 entries. My blog surpassed 100,000 hits sometime in December 2017. Currently, I'm getting about 1,500 hits per month. Some days, I get as few as 20 or 30 hits, while other days, I may get 200 or more. My most frequented entries seem to be the travel pieces. Most of the time, my viewers tend to be from the U.S.A., but from time to time I get an abnormally large number of visitors from places like Russia. That's kind of scary. I don't want to be involved with any collusion. I'll just go on record right now and state confidently, "There is no collusion! There is no collusion! Believe me!" There, that should prove my innocence.

Below is a list of my most visited pages, those with 200 or more hits. The number in parenthesis is the number of times that page has been viewed. The list appears in descending order, from most to least viewed. By the way, I also have a web page, Living the Good Life. Now, I have not worked on that web site in some time, and it does need some updating. But if you do like my travel pieces, you might take a look at the "Travels with Donna and Keith" section there. Items are categorized on that site, so you can more easily find related topics.
