Howdy do! The purpose of this post (besides whetting your appetite for the food, photos, & recipes I’ve been squirreling away during my hiatus) is to make sure things are up and running properly before I jump in feet first in 2013.
Good thing there’s a lake out my front door — makes for a softer landing!
One thing you may have noticed is that this and subsequent posts are authored by the one ‘n’ only Kim Bultman. (That’d be me.)
Not to be confused with my “online ID photo” that shows up wherever I comment…
(That’s “me” in flower form.) :)
Don’t fret. We (I?) are (am?) one and the same!
It seems there was a bit of confusion between here, and there, and everywhere (in cyberworld, at least) with my alter-ego being “Kimby.” From now on, I’ve decided to sign my blog posts as such… can’t give up everything in the name of progress, now can I?
By the way, did I ever tell you how I came to acquire that nickname?
Well… my lil’ pal, Gumby is an avid promoter of reading (so am I)… my sister put two-and-two together and called me “Kimby” once… and the rest, as they say, is history. Other than that, things will remain pretty much the same at the lake — for now. ;)
Enjoying jumping in… woohoo! Happy New Year!
~ Kimby
Happy New Year Kimby! I love your self picture – you have beautiful eyes (well eye in that picture haha). It was fun reading about the history behind your name. ;) The flower and you are both beautiful!
Nami, that was so sweet — thank you! They say the eyes (or eye!) ;) are the window to the soul — it’s a blessing to “see” what I do and to share it here.
Happy new year :)
Thank you for sharing the story behind the name :) I always love hearing how nicknames came to be :)
Thanks, Sawsan! It’s such a pleasure connecting with you on FB (even if it’s just a “like!”) — I’m hoping 2013 slows down a lil’ bit so I can get back to commenting on my favorite blogs! ;) Happy New Year to you, too!
Happy New Year, Kimby and it’s great to hear how you came about your nickname xx
I felt the same way about learning how you got your name, Charlie! :) xo! Best wishes and happy blogging in 2013!
I really like you regardless of your incarnation at the time :) Kimby everywhere will let us keep up wherever we see you. Happy New Year!
Maureen, I entered blog world as Kimby and it stuck! Glad you’ve been able to overlook my incarnations and see the “real” me. :) I love my friends in “blog world” — you included! xo — and am happy to be here!
I’m just as confused….. Kimby, Gumby, Flower, whatever…… I love it all! Happy 2013, my dear!
Shirley, sorry for the confusion, but sooo glad you put up with “all” of me. :) xo
Hahaha! I was just teasing u, dear! Did u have fun during your X’mas vacation? Thks so much for reading so many of my posts all at once! U’re such a dearie :) Oh, I’ve replied your question reg Cardamon. Have fun making the dessert!
LOL, it only confused me for a little bit but I’m glad you’re Kimby everywhere now! I think it’s a really cute name!
Veronica, I’m glad you could follow my mad dash around cyberspace! “Kimby” is actually short for my name & initial, too (Kim B) but as you know, there’s a “Kim Bee” in blog world (another fun food blogger) so I settled for my nickname to get started — hope I didn’t just add to the confusion, lol!
Haha to all your forms I wish a very happy new year :)
Cheers

Uru, I think I have the “shape shifting” thing down pat now ;) — if I ever figure out how to teleport, I’ll be down to see ya! Happy New Year to you, too, sweet friend!
Finally, there’s the answer to the mystery of where ‘Kimby’ came from! Grew up w/Gumby, and I find you must more captivating, my friend…Kim, Kimby, K, KB, hey you…whatever, you be great! xo
Ally, some days I’m more like Pokey, lol! ;)
And I love all aspects of you as well! xxxooo
