The date was May 12, 2008. This Toots was sitting in front of her computer mad as a hornet that my favorite site was going to the dogs (RMS)
A few friends has told me about the blogging world and how fun it can be. I was a regular reader of several of you, but had NO intentions of starting my own blog.
This date is not only the date that I decided to start my own little blog....but is also my birthday. I decided to do something for myself....and Tootsie Time was born!
In the last 8 years I have had a load of fun with this blog. I have met so many wonderful people and have learned loads of information from each of them.
Many of you have been my shoulders to lean on during one of the most difficult times of my life.
Without all the love and support from my online family, I would surely have given up.
Thank you for all the hugs, and support, good times, giggles and tears that we all have shared.
Blogging is a great way to express ourselves, connect with friends all over the world, and learn about the differences we all have. Without each of you, I would not have become the person I am today!
The followers I have are more than just friends...they have become family to me. I am a very lucky girl!
Here's to another year of fun and posting with you all!
I hope I can pick up the slack that has happened for the last few years. Outside influences have kind of taken me away from my Tootsie Time and I fully intend to somehow find the time to get back to it.
Sometimes real life has to take over and things need to be done...bills need to be paid and life needs to be lived. I do miss my relax time on the computer, but I must fill my obligations. Much has changed in my world since I started my dear Blog, and I hope to keep sharing with you for years to come!
Thanks for following, commenting and sharing with me!

Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!
And
Many more!.
Love you girl, and I too remember the good old days of RMS and now Blog has replaced that, what's next tootsie. A lot of things chance in one year. I am so glad that we crossed paths, you where right there with me and other bloggers when my mother pasted away. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Have a wonderful day today; if you where here I would make you a happy birthday cake.

All the best!!
I'm pretty new to your blog too but have really come to enjoy stopping by to get a bit of cheer and craziness! And to see all of the wonderful gardens that you have.
I have a big anniversary coming in 2 days too. Bob and I will have been married 26 years. I never thought I'd end up being married that long since I got such a late start!
Have a great day!
May your day be filled with blooms and cake
Molly
Hope you have a wonderful and special day, so close to Mother's day! Double presents!!

Oh my friend I hope this is a great BD for you this year...and I so remember when you started your blog and the slow boring days on RMS...what special plans do you have for the day...May it be wonderful my daughter...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria aka MOM
I saw your comment on my last post so I popped over wondering "Who??", and I am so happy I came!! First I read the Mother's Day post and of course wanted to cry. Knowing that there are so many other mother's out there, why do I feel like I have gone through all of this alone? Where has all the time gone?? Why do these kids have a totally different perception of of what I did and didn't do for them when they were growing up?? Wow!! This was a mouthful!! The post made me think, and that's a good thing! ;-D
I am loving what you are doing with your flowers beds and hope I can get some ideas and inspiration from you. I have been gardening for over 20 years and lately have fallen into a slump (Oh, I hope I don't sound like a blogger buzz kill today!), so I could use a nudge.
I want to say Happy Birthday, Tootsie and I hope you have a wonderful day filled with happiness and surprises!
Now, I am off to do another post. Hopefully I will be pleasant! Come visit again!!
xoxo

ps I just sent an e-card to you too!
I am still trying to figure out how the bloggers visit all those they want to visit! I am going a bit nuts trying to keep up...but..after reading your post..maybe they understand. It is an undertanding community of people, these Bloggers!
Have a wonderful day and I hope many hugs and best wishes come your way. You certainly deserve them!

Now I can't believe it's been a year since you started your blog! I remember the little chat room you started and invited me to come! You would pop back and forth from your blog to the chat room! I started visiting the blogs and got the bug myself!
Thanks for being our Tootsie Wootsie!
You are a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Cheers to the year ahead of us. It will be a rough ride but we can do it together my friend.

Hey, Happy Birthday too!

Anything that is mine is on the white carts with our name on it. Otherwise it's not mine.
I heard that one of the stores has 43 carts of annual packs. Oh, I can see disaster looming. How are they going to sell that much stuff with your weather doing so poorly? They bought waaaaay too much I'm afraid :(
have a lovely long weekend.

Tootsie this is a link to my main blog...the one you visit is my painting blog and I just don't seem to get much painting done any more. Maybe as soon as I finish redoing my house, I'll get to paint again...

I think life evolves like it or not. I too started a blog in 2008 to keep family and friends informed on our whereabouts while traveling to Alaska and back. I hardly ever post any more :( We still travel but I've changed computers and I haven't learned how to do some things on this one... share photos lol
Enough.. I've always enjoyed your blog and seeing what you're up to.
Keep on blogging!
