Today is the birthday of Catherine of Aragon (1485) , Ludwig van Beethoven (1770) , Jane Austen (1775) , Margaret Mead (1901) , Liv Ullmann (1938) , Sir Arthur C.

but I have decided to ignore the many blogging possibilities calling to me from that list and take today’s post in a deliberately different, more seasonal direction:
Hello, world! This blog began on September 28, 2007, and so far nobody has come looking for me

Happy reading, and come back often!
And whether my cup is half full or half empty, fill my cup, Lord.

ReplyDeleteOf course, maybe that's what went wrong THIS year?.....
No doubt Mrs RWP has been fabulous and gets a brand new truck for Christmas...yes?
Buying my own stuff has a LOT of charm. I will like what I receive, and I will probably be grateful for it too.
ReplyDeleteAnd happy birthday (past and/or present) to that remarkably disparate group.
