The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for Cul de Sac! I thought it was pretty fun to look at and that maybe you would be interested in it too, so here’s my humble little report 
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 11,000 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 18 years to get that many views.
What fun!!! Congratulations on all your blogging successes!
Aww, thanks!
Oh, and you were my number one commenter of the year on my report! THANK YOU!!!
how funny! you are my number one too!!!
I love these reports, I saw them on the other blogs too!
I got mine but I can’t see it when I click on it because I left WordPress back in Oct 
, it’s fun reading them! 
I wish you a Happy New Year 
It’s the first time I had one, and I loved it! i mean, I already know all that info since I’m always on my stat page, but this is a fun format! Happy new year too for you and your family!
Dear Josée ~ Am so sorry to have dropped of the radar this month. Had an unexpected death in the family, but am catching up on me blogs this week.
Happy New Yea, Dear One! You’re my biggest commenter!
Have been so encouraged by your comments and beautiful photos. If I ever get to visit Canada, will also plan a cuppa with you.
Hugs & lots of luv,
D’el
