Happy Friday, groovy people!
I promised you a blog party when I reached 6,000 readers here at Gin & Lemonade.
And so, overnight I seem to have ticked over to 6,003.
Thank you!
That means we party!
Please leave a link to your blog and fave social media hangout in the comments so we can mix and mingle.
Introduce yourself, talk to each other and check out other people’s blogs.
You might find your new best blog friend!

Subscribe to Gin & Lemonade posts as they are published. (sidebar)
Subscribe to Gin & Lemonade’s weekly newsletter here. (also in sidebar under ‘Newsletter’)
Join my FB group Blogging & A Beverage – must be a blogger and not a troll.
It would be groovy if you did all three, but I like to give people options!
Also, share this post with your friends and blogging networks.
Be nice and have fun!
Lorna

Wow! Goals! I will be happy when I reach 60. I just started this small family travel blog and tweaking what I really want to do with it. It is a work in progress and having fun. http://www.travelingpartyof4.com. Plus, I love Facebook for meeting all of these fun, entertaining and often educational bloggers. My facebook page for my blog is http://www.facebook.com/jennbtraveling.
Hello 🙂 gave your FB page a follow!
I just followed, so you are one closer to 60!!
Signed up to your blog and look forward to reading more!
Go Lorna! This is a well deserved accomplishment. I remember following you simply because you had the word Gin in your blog title and very quickly I realized you were an amazing writer. Dumb luck on my part, but so happy to have found you. https://imsickandsoareyou.com/
Well, shit, Christine. I love you, too. We should hang out. Seriously.
It is on my bucket list.
My entertaining (I hope!) mess is at https://entertainingmess.wordpress.com/. (Though I’m taking a month off from thinky posts to NaNo. Excuse the mess.) I pic at https://www.instagram.com/nmb1974/ and I twit at https://twitter.com/nmb74. All of the above is, like, 99.997% about my kids.
Congrats! Hard work pays off? Who knew?! I’ll have to get to work now at https://loristory.wordpress.com and at http://www.pacificbuffalo.com 🙂
