It was fifteen years ago today, on a rainy Saturday afternoon, that I had the notion to try my hand at blogging. I chose the name, the white on red color scheme, the twelve point Trubuchet font, and the two column layout. This is the blog I created that day.

Much has changed for Randy and me, for our spanko community, and for the larger world (and not always for the better). Blogs have been largely replaced as the hot digital medium by Tik Tok, Twitter, Snapchat, and no doubt some other service that our daughter hasn't yet told us about. We've said goodbye to some dear people, but greeted many new fellow travelers.

But some things have not changed - love, friendship, family, caring, support, and oh yeah, spankings. They still feel the same and ignite the same feelings of excitement and passion.

So it's 2020 and I'm still blogging. I guess it's just my thing. I can't imagine myself making dopey old lady Tik Tok videos. No, printed words are my medium of choice. I've tried to walk away, twice in fact, but I just keep coming back here. As I've said before, the attraction always was and continues to be you, the lovely people who visit this place and share your thoughts.

It's been a difficult year for most of us, but I strive to be that glass is half full gal. I dream about a better day and how it might look and feel. I believe it's out there somewhere in our future. We just have to keep holding on. The golden day that I envision is glorious with family reunions and hugs and evenings out and crowded restaurants and sporting events and shopping malls and live performances and public transportation and dancing and exotic vacations and smiling friends toasting freedom together.

Thank you for all your support through all the years. It means so much to me to have wonderful friends and readers (yes, even you elusive lurkers!). Please do what you can to stay safe and well so that we can all one day enjoy the sunlight together.
