Jason,my son, the Webmaster
A few years ago my son Jason suggested that I start a blog. A what ? says I . The word blog sounded repugnant, like something out of a horror movie. " Oh, Mom all you ever do is live and breathe gardening so you might as well write about it.
I'll try just about anything once so I jumped in head first as Jason patiently tutored me on the how to's of a blog. Just how did it come to this, I wondered, when the child becomes the teacher?
Anyhoo, 500 posts later I look back and appreciate my son's confidence in me. I've made many friends with similar interests and I've enjoyed blogging about my garden and gardening experience.
So thanks, Jason. I hope your momma has made you proud.

Congratulations Carolyn! Your webmaster did a good job!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I, for one, want to thank your lovely son for showing you how. I love your blog. Congratulations, my friend, on 500 posts. Woo-hoo!~~Dee
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the milestone Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteYes, please pass along our thanks to Jason on getting you started on your blog. You've been a welcome addition and a great hostess as we visit your garden both virtually and in real life! Here's to 500 more, y'all!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! And your blog is a hit.
ReplyDelete... and we are the lucky one, dear Carolyn, for getting to know you! (Oh, those Jasons are the best sons ... I have one too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you listened to him! Mine is a similar story. Our older daughter Kara encouraged me to start writing about my gardens at Our Little Acre. What a wonderful new world that introduced me to!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm a big fan of yours, Carolyn. *hugs*
Congratulations on 500 posts Carolyn! And Kudos to Jason for tutoring and encouraging you into the blogging world. The garden blogging community is a richer place with you in it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Carolyn - 500 is a terrific gift to your readers, and look how much fun you've had along the way.
ReplyDeleteSimilar story here when my son pointed out I could make a website for the Divas. Yay for offspring who help their parents spread their wings ;-]

Handsome man and wise also! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for visiting and leaving your pithy comments!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Carolyn! I recently got to 300, but didn't notice until I'd done a couple more posts, so decided to wait for that 500 to point it out. It's mostly good to have someone in the family who knows a lot about computers. My husband has been of some help to me, but not so much with the blogging side. He has frequent calls from family, friends, and friends we thought we'd lost contact with to get his help with their computer problems. He complains to me about it, but doesn't ever say he's busy. He even answers the phone while we're eating supper. Does your son get those kinds of calls?
