Blog Name - Blogivesary & Giveaway

Beach
I am often asked what does your blog name mean? How did you come up with the name of your blog?

So in celebration of the belated seventh anniversary (March 28) of this blog here's the story:

Sunset on the beach 

When I first started this journey I wanted a place to keep track of what I've read as well as my thoughts on those books.  It was going to be a place just for me as I had no idea what blogdom was all about.


I thought about some of my favorite things in order to come up with a name. I live on Lake Michigan and love our beach and boardwalk. They are two places I love to be, which led to the song Under The Boardwalk that has always been a favorite of mine.
Under the Boardwalk it was.  I had no idea at the time what would follow.  It has been such a pleasure to meet other book  lovers and share this passion.



In celebration of seven years I will be offering a couple of my favorite things that are locally made.  Enter by comment and tell me if you prefer dark or milk chocolate.  Please leave an email address for easy contact.  I will draw a winner April 25th





The pictures used on this blog are of the beach, boardwalk and pier.  If I've used pictures that were not taken by myself, family and/or friends, photo credit is given.

Happy, happy blogoversary. And, yeah, who knew where blogging was going to take us. The best part has been making friends. I grew up on the Lakes and still miss the water. Dark would be my preference, since you asked. :)

Happy Belated Blogoversary! Seven years, wow, great job!
Since you've mysteriously asked :) I would have said both kinds, but my doctor says no sweets or a small bit of dark chocolate occasionally, so that's my official answer-- Thanks.

Here I was just going to say "Happy Blogiversary!" and then I find out there is chocolate involved - woohoo! :) I prefer dark chocolate.

Amazing to think how long many of us have been blogging - it just seems like it's been a couple of years since I started, but I realized the other day that it's almost been 6 years for me.
