Big Party One Week from Today: Woo Hoo!!

Next Friday begins the weekend of Labor Day BLOG BBQ fun and food! So get your backyards blogs weeded and tidied up and ready for new followers visitors!

Last year it was huge. People went blog-hopping like crazy and many added 50 followers in a day. Some of the new people I met have become must-read regulars on my schedule.

I'll post about the details next week before the event. It's really so easy, nothing to sign up for, and you can pop in for as little or as long as you like. My kind of party!

Meanwhile, take a look at these three delightful blogs I discovered last year through the Blog BBQ.

Eddie Bluelights, Clouds and Silvery Linings

Cajun Delights 

Wanna Buy a Duck

I remember them in particular because Eddie's comments kept going to spam, but he refused to give up. And who can forget Marguerite and her wonderful Cajun recipes? And then there is Manzanita is in her 80's her 80's! who writes a blog titled Wanna Buy a Duck; I adore her.

Looking forward to next weekend!

  11. Oooo, another BBQ! I enjoyed it last time. Who says summer is over?

    I was thinking of doing my haunting again around Halloween. It's fun to get bloggers to meet one another.

  14. Why thank you kind lady, for your very generous compliment! What a pleasant surprise - I am highly honoured and to be numbered with my good friend Marguerite at Cajun Delights as well. I will endeavour this year not to be trapped in your spam trps - perhaps the knomes in cyberspace think BBQ spam on toast is my speciality LOL. I shall try to come up with something special which does not end up as a heap of burnt charcoal LOL. Cheers ~ Eddie

  21. That's exactly how I found you-- from over at Kat Magendie's blog. Hoping to find some new folks to read up on since many from when I was regularly blogging before have since dropped off the radar!
