I am so appreciative of my readers & neighbors that words can't express. It is because of you that I keep this blog going. Nothing makes me happier than when someone tells me they considered a move to Ward 8 from reading this blog. I am still surprised when people recognize me out and about, like at the grocery store. When I started this blog in 2008 it wasn't for fame (lord knows it wasn't for fortune) it was so that people could consider the beauty and opportunities east of the river and be inspired to call this place home. I am so thrilled to know that in some small way I contributed to that. None of this would have been possible without all of you. I tip my hat and right click my mouse for all of you. :) 

Connecting with my readers is the best!
