Forget the Grammys and Academy Awards, here’s the award show everyone’s really been waiting for: My most popular blog posts of 2024! Things took a strange turn last year when a bunch of traffic-blocking glitches kicked-in. Result? My most-read blogs all happened earlier in the year. With one exception: My late year post Help, I’m Being WordPress Suppressed! instantly became #1 — you guys are awesome! Meanwhile, the most popular topic continues to be my memoirs, followed by animals, writing, and love. Oh, and photography — so please enjoy these images culled from last year’s biggest hits, followed by The List!

Your award show is better than the Grammys. They often end up giving the wrong awards
;>)
Congratulations, Mitch! I’ve dusted off my ballgown and everything. This is way better than the red carpet. 🙂
You are one of the most stunning celebrities here tonight, I must say, Gabrielle!
I went through your slide show. Very nice! I love Stan Hywet Hall. Toured there when I was in school and later with my family one Christmas – it was beautiful.
It is indeed, Maddie. Did you see my blog post on our visit? https://mitchteemley.com/2024/07/05/a-quiet-spectacle/

Very good photos. Congratulations.
Thank you, Hod.

Thank you, Freddie!
You’re welcome Mitch.
The best awards ever! Mitch, those pics. From a heart punch to giggles (you, the “adopted” daughter and Notzilla) and your beautiful quote! You’re a winner in all ways! God bless you! 🙏🏻
Bless you, dear Karla. You’re such an upbeat and supportive friend!
You’re welcome, dear friend! I’m happy to be that kind of friend! YAY!
Congratulations you’ve created your own personal red carpet and deserve the awards,
I know, I know. ;>)
