Fred the Cat here and I have a Secret!

Wanna know my secret? Here’s a hint. Pretend this isn’t a Santa hat, but a party hat. Also pretend I’m wearing this party hat. (No way in hell I would actually wear one of those things. It was difficult enough to get an ex street cat like myself to wear a collar.)

Any guesses why I would be wearing a virtual party hat?

Okay, here’s the story. One year ago today Pop went to her computer, clicked on “Get your own blog” and thus the beginning of Morning Martini.

I remember that morning well because although she had written for several other blogs in the past, she had never actually gone through the mechanics of posting the writing herself. She was so very nervous. I remember she told Murphy and me to leave her alone as she had all she could deal with just figuring out how to begin a blog and how to post to it.

So I, along with a little help from her, am happily and proudly announcing that today Morning Martini is one year old in human years (that’s seven years old in dog years). Since Pop calls the shots around here (or thinks she does) we’ll celebrate this in human years. Today, Morning Martini is celebrating its first year on the “internets” and coming through the wires and tubes to you.

Today we are one. She and I want to thank every single person, dog and cat who have visited Morning Martini during its first year. If you have left comments or even if you haven’t, we thank you and appreciate your friendship and support more than we can ever express to you. Some of you are old friends and others are brand new. This THANK YOU is heartfelt and deeply sincere to one and all.

Now put on your own party hat and let’s celebrate all weekend long! Cosmic catnip for everyone! Weeeeee!
