Thank You Dear Readers! #9.

Good morning everyone on this another beautiful morning here at Steve’s Country.  The sun is shining brightly.  There is a light wind blowing.  And it’s supposed to be another warm day before the temp begins it’s downward trend beginning tomorrow.  I hope it will be short lived and that warmer weather will return for a while yet.  But it is August and this is the month of change for us.  Moving from summer to fall, or autumn if you prefer.

But right now I just want to say thank you once again for making Steve’s Country so popular!  I must be doing something right since you enjoy coming back each week for more.  MEOW! 😼 Oops.  That should be ‘we’ must be doing something right. 😽 Didn’t mean to forget Muffin.😀😹

I was going over my stats just now and I went ‘WOW’, that is really quite amazing!  So I wanted to share them with you since all of you are helping to produce these amazing results.  Since January first to this morning there have been 31,594 views, 10,250 visitors, 11,998 comments, 11,797 likes!  I just never expected such amazing results, since last year’s totals were nowhere near these totals and there is almost 5 months left in this year!  I’m thinking now that perhaps I might achieve this year’s goals after all.

But it’s all because of you, our readers, that is making this journey a success!  And we are both very thankful for all of your continued support!!  Plus, we now have followers from 58 different countries and regular readers from 26 more countries.  So that brings the total number of countries up to 84!  And as of today we now have 481 followers total, only 19 away from my goal of 500!

I know that a lot of bloggers don’t like to pay attention to stats, which is fine.  But for Muffin and I living way up here in the north, it’s exciting to check these results now and then.  This is a somewhat remote location with long cold winters.  Like last winter, we had snow on the ground from October 9 to the end of April.  That’s nearly 7 months of winter.  And it was a cold winter.  So stats can be exciting.  And we can see that we are traveling all over the world, that’s really exciting!  And meeting all of you wonderful people and friends, that’s the most exciting!!

So, once again, thank you all so very much for being a part of Steve’s Country, we truly enjoy all the great friendships we have made here!!  Enjoy your day and God bless!
