Recently, as I stay happily at home, I've been thinking about places I've been and things I've done. I am very thankful that I have been able to travel as much as I have, as well as see and do so many things at home.
I decided to look back at my blog and see what I posted about on May 14th in other years.
On May 14, 2019, I wrote about a day on the Camino de Santiago in Spain, when I met Brigit. On that trip, I walked from Porto, Portugal, to Santiago, Spain in two weeks. It was a bucket list trip.
On May 14, 2018, I was working on the borders for Year 1 of the Temperature Quilt.
On May 14, 2017, I wrote about a neighborhood walk when I saw Mt. Fuji and visited a temple and a shrine. Sounds like what I'm doing these days!
On May 14, 2016, I wrote about eating a soba lunch set at the Takamatsu train station.
On May 14, 2015, I wrote about getting to be part of a TV show segment where a TV personality tries out the job of being a bicycle taxi driver. That was fun!
May 14, 2014, was a Work in Progress Wednesday post, where I documented attaching the pearls to the Queen, and piecing the crazy quilt hussif.
On May 14, 2013, I wrote about beginning to sew the yo-yo's into rows. (If you are curious about what this ended up being, check out this post.)
On May 14, 2012, I wrote about a book I was reading and a movie I watched.
I moved to Japan in December 2011, which was when I started this blog, so I don't have anything to say about May 2011. I've enjoyed this look back and I hope it has been interesting for you, too. Do you ever go back and see what you wrote about in previous years on a certain date? I'd love to read your post like this.
That is a fun idea, your yo-yos are beautiful and you were putting borders on year one temperature quilt! I also saw your slipper bag project, very useful. Now I'll check what I did a year ago.
How interesting. This throwback was a lot of fun! I don't post daily, so going back to certain dates I'd draw a lot of blanks. But I do love going back throw my blog, seeing what I was working on at the time!
Fabulous memories. I started my blog in November 2011.
ReplyDeleteHave looked back at my memories, some of which I had forgotten.
What a fun idea for a post! I loved seeing these things from long before I "knew" you. I might have to try this one day. Pick a date and have at it!

Wonderful to look back and see where you were and what you were doing.
ReplyDeleteI started ny blog in 2011 too. The pilgrimage Santiago de Compostela is one of my life dreams, it was fun to see that you have been there.
ReplyDeletePamela: What a fun post, I should look back and see what I was doing on a certain date.
ReplyDeleteThat queen is beautiful.
