Aww Carse, that was beautiful... I cried and laughed and guffawed and cried some more. The kitties that have passed on and are in "kitty heaven". Such beautiful photos and memories... What a treasure and I am so happy and proud to be a part of it, thank you and Happy New Year!
Wonderful!! Thank you for a year of great posts and glorious photography, and more smiles and laughs than I can count. All the best for 2013 - I can't wait to see what you and the animals have in store for us!
You were busy this year. What an awesome montage! From the ridiculous to the sublime, every photo made me smile - except the one of your crazy ass chicken devouring the tarantula. *blech* What an amazing cast of characters you share your life with. How blessed is that?
Wonderful, Linda...I have to say the picture with your family and your mom laughing brings a tear to my eye...I miss my mom and your mom reminds me of my mom. Love the video and all your family. Have a blessed 2013 and looking forward to the coming year and see you everyday. Hugs to all
smooch makes me want to smooch him and the horsy roll makes me laugh, Wynona is just a trip.... so many great photos what a great year and i hope the new one brings you many blessings and lots more photos for us to look at
Awesome - truly awesome! What a fabulous way to close out 2012. Thank you for sharing! Happy New Year to the 7MSN family - can't wait to see what adventures lie ahead in 2013. Anonymous in RI
What a lovely bunch of coconuts this was....all standing in a row. Big ones, small ones...all viewed with great big smiles. The poignant ones, the memory ones, there all at 7 Miles.
You have blessed us with your humor, your honesty, your tenacity, your wild woman doings, your love of family, friends and the land and we are the better for it.
Thank you for so very much this last year. And cheers with one of those adult beverages to many more. Oma Linda (a true fan)
Awesome - truly awesome! What a fabulous way to close out 2012. Thank you! Happy New Year to the 7MSN Family. Looking forward to all your adventures in 2013!
AWESOME!! I wish you all the best for 2013! Thank you for sharing your life and for all the wonderful pictures. I'm looking forward to following you and the animals through the coming year. I know there will be lots more smiles and laughs. HDJ
What a great way to end 2012...LOVED the picture video of the crew.... Thank you so much for making my evening start out with such a great show... LOVE from NC
Love the travelogue through your life this past year! I don't know if it's just my senior brain,but it seemed like there were a few "never before seen" photos? Also, what is the accompanying music? I know I've heard it before, but please don't make me go trolling around iTunes to identify it!
My husband, who was in another room when I first played this, wanted to know where the nice music was coming from, so I started the video over so he could watch it too. I named them one after the other but could not bring myself to talk too much. Tears kept getting in the way....
Hoping 2013 brings all of you hope and happiness and perhaps a special kitty or two....
That was great, thank you for sharing your beautiful life and your sweet critters. I look forward to it every day, and I hope 2013 brings you all good things and maybe a batch of kittens to help keep Smooch from getting too big of a head being the only house kid. Although Im sure Lucy would be happy to move in! Cheers!
This was so wonderful that I kept pausing it and backing up to see parts over and over. I didn't want to miss anything. We are all grateful that you take the time to share your life with us. I can't imagine how much time it took you to choose the pictures to put in the video. Once you get started looking at pictures, there's no stopping until you've see them all. Then you had to take the time to decide which ones to include, or not. We're all waiting for the next adventure at 7MSN. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
I recognised almost all of the photos which means....Your blog has been part of my life ,everyday for a year! Thank you for my "go-to feel good place" Jan
Ethel said it for me, tears of joy...tears of sadness. I thank you for sharing the joys and sorrows of life on the 7MSN with us. Blessings to all the animals and humans that are part of the blog that makes my day complete each day. (PS: that's my favorite song)
Truly, every creature on the 7MSN and beyond is beautiful, HOWEVER, that said, if George and Alan get ANY CUTER you're gonna have to call Hollywood. I know there was the "3 Stooges," but there are 2 comedians here (I'm giving Hank credit as the straight man) with 4 legs....that are FARRRRR more handsome and definitely more curious! Happy New Year to you and Smooch and all of those other beautiful Hollywood-worthy creatures. Prosperous New Year to Ya'll!
Thanks, Carson, for the music ID. I knew it was based on the "simple gifts" melody, but wasn't sure the whole title. And my hubby correctly identified Copland (after I asked you!). Didn't realize it was the Boston Pops folks, but that makes perfect sense. Happy new year!
thank you for the wonderful slide presentation and looking back at a great year of our daily laughs at your funny posts !! Happy New Year to you are your "family" we love all of you !!! Jeanne in SC
Thank you so much, Carson, for another year of handing out my daily dose of the loveliest and wittiest and heart-warmingest anti-depressant I've come across. I wish you and your "kids" a very healthy and happy New Year!
Well done, Carson! Loved seeing your year at one time.

ReplyDeleteEvenSong, the music is "Simple Gifts from Appalachain Spring," written by Aaron Copland and performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for stopping by tonight. Your comments are making me cry, damnit. Now go out and party like it's 2013.
Thank you for sharing your life and the animals with all of us. Have a Happy New Year!!

ReplyDeleteSo many great pictures...I love seeing the wildlife in your part of the world. Love the one where the little guy is jumping out of the barn - so cute!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
