I was sort of aware that we were coming to that time…but here we are! The little notification popped up….yes…it is true…
….it is the 4 year anniversary for…
CARAMEL (Learner At love)

How did that happen???
What a journey it has been! In four years there have been so many highlights, including:
- Lots of SHARE YOUR WORLD posts
- Lots of those BLOGGING AWARD posts
- Lots of posts in response to the amazing A GUY CALLED BLOKE’s (Rory) challenges
- Lots and lots and lots of SONG LYRIC SUNDAY posts
- Posts in response to picture prompts, word prompts, provocative question prompts and so many other prompts which amazing bloggers host
- I helped to co-host three GREAT BLOGGERS’ BAKE-OFFS
- I published three novels and one poetry book on Amazon – which I never ever ever imagined when I started blogging
…and so much more!
The highlight of blogging has always been the comments, and I feel sad that as demands have multiplied on my time, I have found it harder and harder to respond to the lovely comments from other bloggers.
But what a personal journey this past four years have been. I just want to remind you that this blog started out as CRUSHED CARAMEL. When I started out writing, I was estranged from Jack. We had not spoken for years. Four years later, I am engaged to marry him.
lol – how did that happen?
And of course, I do not want to forget my beloved Goldfinch. I started writing at a time I was head over heels in love with him. The truth is I always will be. But some of you may recall….2019 was an eventful year for me. My trip to Australia….and then the sudden crossing paths with Jack.
Congratulations, Mel! It has been wonderful getting to know you through your posts. Here’s to many more and happily ever after with Jack! ❤️🌷
