It's hard to believe it's been almost three years since I've posted. The saying 'time flies' is certainly true.
Back in the good old days of blogging, it was always so exciting to participate in National Blog Posting Month, better known as NaBloPoMo - a post every day during the month of November. It's not an official thing anymore, but when it hit me that today was November 1st, I decided to take the plunge and come over to catch up a bit with all of you this month. I hope I can keep up.
I'm going to leave it at that for today since I'm posting late, and we have all month to catch up. I will add that I have missed all of you so much!
Welcome back to Seaside Simplicity where life isn't even the least bit simple anymore, and welcome to a month of blog posts that will be too long, along with my usual use of improper grammar including, but not limited to lots of run-on sentences and way too many exclamation points - some things never change.
I can't wait to reconnect with you tomorrow! :)
Happy to see a post from you come up in my reader!! Welcome back! I have been thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, it's great to be back! I think of you and Far Guy often. We have known each other for many years now. I'm excited to get back to visiting and keeping up with the latest. I'll stop by soon. Big hugs!

DeleteFrom one Martha to another, welcome back to Blogland! Please visit those who have followed you and have missed you. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha! I hope all is well in your world. I'll stop by to visit soon.
DeleteWelcome back! So great to hear from you again! Let the November blog posts roll!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Debra! I'm very excited to get back to it. I'll catch up with you soon :)

ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteWelcome ... from a once upon a time Floridian (now returned North) ... happy to meet you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I've missed all the cuteness over at your place :)
DeleteOMG, Martha! Do you even remember me?? I found your blog not very long before your life changed. I’ve thought of you often and I’m so glad to see you back!
ReplyDeleteHi Bijoux, of course I remember you - I'm glad you remembered me! We may not have know each other for a long time but you were always one of my favorites. I can't wait to catch up with you. I'll pop over for a visit this afternoon :)
DeleteWelcome back!! I look forward to reading your November posts!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lisa!
DeleteIt's so nice to see your post. You were missed. Hope to hear more from you soon!
ReplyDeleteLove., ma
Hi Ma, It's so good to hear from you, I've missed you too! We will definitely spend some time catching up with each other this month. I'll pop over to visit soon :)
DeleteI'm so happy to see a post from you. I did a double take. Welcome to NaBloPoMo. Are you aware of San's blog? She's organizing NaBloPoMo, and you can add your name to her list so other bloggers know you're participating. Sharing a link to her blog if you're interested. https://theinbetweenismine.com/2025/11/01/1-nablopomo-2025-the-five-things-edition/
ReplyDeleteHi Ernie, thanks so much and thank you for the link to San's blog. I will definitely stop by over there to share my link. It's nice to hear someone is hosting NaBloPoMo again these days. We'll catch up soon! :)
DeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNice to see your post pop up! I'm looking forward to a catch up.
ReplyDeleteWow, talk about a blast from the past! How are you?! Are you still blogging? Drop me a link if you are!
DeleteIt's so wonderful to see you back, Martha. I've missed you and hope that you're well and enjoying your granddaughter. Sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Margaret! I hope all is well in your world/ I'll be by to visit soon :)
DeleteIt's very nice to see you back here, it really is. We are still blogging even without our beloved Brian, the new team carries on.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I'm excited to get over to your place to see the latest team. I'm so sorry to hear about Brian though :(
DeleteWhat a lovely surprise, to see you back here again! I hope NaBloPoMo gives you the sense of community to bring you back to more regular posting.
ReplyDeleteThanks J, I hope so too! I'm happy to see you are doing NaBloPoMo this year too. I look forward to spending all month with you! :)
DeleteI am excited to have a new blog in my reader and getting to know you. You have the same name as my sister so this is fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Tobia, it's nice to meet you. Thank you for popping over to say hello. I'm looking forward to getting to know you this month :)
DeleteI was so happy to see the notification you'd posted! I have thought of you often, hoping you were doing well and would be back when you were ready/able. I didn't know about NaBloPoMo. I post nearly every day, and have both today and yesterday, but not sure I can do it daily. Not so much of interest going on! I used to be Lisa's Garden Adventure, but I accidently deleted that blog earlier this month. So, now I am at https://thisandthatablog.blogspot.com/ where I now host the Shadow Shot Sunday (not sure if you participated in that...). I'd better think about a post for Monday!
ReplyDeleteLisa
Hi Lisa, I'm so happy to see you here! I had been going through my feed reader and thought you weren't posting anymore. I'm so glad to hear you are just at a new blog. I've already followed and will be by to visit this evening. It's exciting to be back and I can't wait to catch up more! I will try to remember to play along on your Shadow Shot Sunday next week and look forward to you joining in for NaBloPoMo :)
DeleteIt's nice to see you. Sometimes we circle back and it can be a good thing. I've missed a lot as I didn't even realize about the Cat Blogosphere until not long ago, so for me it will be like meeting a new friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by to welcome me back! :)
DeleteHey, stranger. How ya been? That's the great thing about the blogosphere--when you're ready, we're still here.
ReplyDeleteHey Liz, thank you for popping over. It's so good to see you. I was wondering if anyone would even remember me! I'm looking forward to getting back to your teaching adventures this month, and hopefully I'll get back in the swing of things and stick around after that!
DeleteWelcome back. I missed you! I'm eagerly awaiting your November posts. I no longer blog daily but I do check out other blogs daily.
ReplyDeleteHi Alana, it's so nice to hear from you! I'll be visiting whenever you do post this month and hopefully beyond. Thanks for coming by to welcome me back :)
DeleteLooking forward to your posts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzanne, I'm looking forward to checking out your posts too! Thanks for popping over today, it's nice to meet you :)
DeleteSo nice to see you ... welcome back.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thanks Jan, it's so nice to see you. I'll be by to visit soon :)
DeleteIt is good to see you again. Wat a nice surprise! Where have you been and what have you been doing? Maybe you will catch us up?
