Facebook memories are a fun thing usually. For example, did you know that 4 years ago we had a tornado hit Vinton? I wrote an article about hearing the sirens and not worrying until the siren sounded for the third time. I got a scolding from my former boss and then EMA director telling me that he was serious the FIRST time he sounded the siren - not the third time! I noted that fact and now have a plan for the first time they go off...
Also, in my memories was a memory about Donkey Basketball from 2015, now that is the type of sport I'd watch!
In 2022 I noted that my friend in AZ wanted to make sure we were all okay, and I had a request to check on Babyland after seeing the damage photos, so I went and checked it out.
2017 was the year that one of my daughters was just a month away from becoming an official midwife...and I joked that, "She doesn't guarantee a "Freaky Fast Delivery" but she'd be a great one to have around if you need her! Since then I got to see her be on the Vinton City Council and this year, she's upped her game again by running for Benton County Supervisor, and I'm having a ball just watching her in this quest.
I suppose the craziest memory I will have from this week is that Facebook contacted me and let me know that the Vinton Today page has crossed the 8,900 followers mark. That means I have to up my security for the page. So an hour later, and after creating more stinking things I will have to do to verify that, "Yes it's ME..." it sunk in.
More than 8,900? That's like 17,800 eyes/ears paying attention. That's just crazy! I can't even picture that many people! Of course, that also means again more security on the Vinton Today Facebook page and I'm not getting younger. I think I fought for an hour just to figure out how to upload pictures from the Easter Egg hunt! I mean, I do appreciate the security aspect in this crazy online world I suppose.
The numbers on Facebook has been steadily climbing this last month, and I'm guessing a new pocket of readers have found Vinton Today. So welcome to the new readers, and as always, feel free to drop me a note if you have a bit of news that you'd like me to share!
