1000!

This is the 1,000th post on WarroadRoots. Here was my original post.

What's this about
I was thinking about all the cousins, aunts, uncles, children, partners, spouses, grandparents and on and on this holiday season and realized that there was a tool we could use to keep in touch with each other. Hence, WarroadRoots. Yes, all one word! We may not have been born there or even have visited, but all roads of the extended family lead back there. So, if you want to connect with someone, let the world know you are still alive and kicking or maybe find that long lost favorite relative, sign-on and update WarroadRoots. It's an experiment. Plus, I got a new macbook for Christmas and I can't stop using it.

Enjoy!

That was from Dec 26th, 2006. A lot has transpired in our lives since then. Births, deaths, weddings, job promotions, new ventures started, an African American president, an economy in free fall, many visits, many vacations, music and a little more music. The list goes on and on. I want to thank everyone who contributes whether it's commenting or a full blown post. It's great to know what your life looks like. And, being just a reader is fine too. But, you might try commenting one day. We would like to know you are there.

Bill and I saw Julie & Julia this weekend. It's a nice movie. Of course, Meryl Streep is phenomenal as Julia Child. Julie is the blogger. In some ways, I identified with her. It's a great feeling to write something and "put it out there." If someone reads it great. If they don't, that just fine. It's the act of doing something that makes a difference.

Keep on reading. Keep on commenting. Keep on posting. Let's see how long until post number 2,000.
