When I researched my Top Ten Posts of 2016, I was not surprised, yet surprised.
I am sure you know what I mean. Posts that I thought would definitely make
it in the Top Ten, did not and some that did, was a pleasant surprise.
I want to thank you, my fabulous readers for your support in 2016,
and I will strive to bring even greater ones for you in 2017.
So we shall do a countdown, starting with the Number 10 post.
Number 10

Number 3

Number 2
The HGTV Smart Home Part 1 and Serendipity
And….the Number 1 viewed post for 2016 is:

So there you have it….my Top Ten Posts for 2016.
The one that was Number 1 was not a surprise to me,
yet, Number 2 was.
I enjoyed touring the HGTV Smart Home last year. Meeting those involved including
the designer, Tiffany Brooks was a thrill.
My visit to the home also resulted in my son being so impressed with the builder
that he bought a home by this builder. It was a great year!
Here’s wishing that 2017 will be a most wonderful year for us all.
Have a beautiful day everyone!
I know I will, because it is my Birthday! 🙂 I will be celebrating another 29th!


Shirley, I remember every one of these and enjoyed revisiting them! Your blog is always a bright spot and I am blessed to call you friend’
