I get such a kick out of being able to track the location, by country, from which readers view my blog in the Status Page! What a fun application to keep a blogger motivated! The country and flag is displayed for the viewing day, allowing me to “travel” the world! I always wonder what viewers from other countries find most interesting about my posts. Since starting the blog in early October, I have collected views from 51 foreign countries. But why not stop at 50, or even 25? Why go to Number 51? Well, that is my magic number. When I enlisted in the South Dakota Army National Guard, I signed on as a 51 Tango (a land surveyor). And that is how I met my husband, also a 51 Tango. Ever since, 51 has been my “lucky” number. Now that I have reached 51 countries it is time to celebrate! Perhaps by drinking margaritas in beautiful San Antonio…
