Thanks for visiting my Blog!


And, btw, who ARE you?

I honestly never anticipated how much I would enjoy writing this blog. I think it actually makes me more aware of my daily life and surroundings because I often see and react to things in terms of how I’d like to share them with my readers. It’s also a really satisfying way of keeping connected with the family and friends I love.

The platform I use, Blogspot, is quite easy to use and, as a side benefit, it provides a statistical dashboard that tracks and measures information about my readers.  For example, since the first post, my blog has been viewed 1,604 times. Most visitors – 39% – use Internet Explorer as their browser, 24% use Firefox and another 24% use Safari. (Never even heard of the other browser names!)

A whopping 64% are using Windows as their operating system, followed by 28% who use an Apple OS. A smattering of you visit me on your iPhones, Blackberries, Androids, Samsungs or iPads.

But what really fascinates me is the fact that I have, to date, readers from 23 countries! Are you ready?  Some of them are obvious, but as of last count, there are people reading my blog in:

United States
Austria
Israel
Germany
Great Britain
Argentina
Australia
South Korea
India
Russia
Canada
Spain
Poland
Kyrgyzstan
Denmark
Afghanistan
Egypt
Finland
France
Iran
Serbia
Singapore
Moldova

So my question is:  Since I don’t anyone in most of these countries, Who are you? How did you find me?  And if you’re reading this now, why not jot a comment down below and tell me something about yourself (as little or as much as you’d like)? 

I’m so curious – aren’t you?

  3. Vera...even if we've not met face to face, we are acquainted thru my brother Dov. As I've said before, you write beautifully, vividly and are such an inspiration to get on with it. Want to live abroad? then figure out a way to at least try a few months. You making this leap is thrilling to those of us reading your rich prose. And Scout is a cutie!
