HOW I DID IN 2023

 I didn't do one of these posts last year. My energy had been low the last few years and my blogging was the lowest point since I has begun. But I had a renewal thanks to someone stealing my Facebook account. 

For years I had been posting the daily Births, Marriages and Deaths of my family, and when I lost the FB account I decided to post them here on West in New England. That decision resulted in 132 posts here in 2023; I'd only posted 146 times from 2020-2022. 

It also resulted in some of those "On This Date" posts making the yearly top ten viewed posts:

The all time viewed list has changed markedly from two years ago. The ways of web crawl ers are beyond my ken.
