Tar Heel Tavern - Happy Anniversary

Welcome to the First Anniversary Edition of the Tar Heel Tavern. How time flies! I can't believe it's already been a year since we started this and I am so happy that it took off and found a life of its own in our blogging community.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, than we must be doing something right with the Tar Heel Tavern, as bloggers from several other states have started their own carnivals since then: New York, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Arizona, Illinois, Montana, Kansas, Ohio and Virginia.

Well, let's get started. I was really happy to see so many submissions and I added only a couple of my own Editor's Choice posts. Click on images to enlarge.

Marcus of Fixin' Healthcare: The Lifestyle Chronicles - Best Friend. This post is about the contribution of dogs to healthy lifestyle by getting people more active physically. How does this relate to time? Well, people with dogs spend almost twice as much time walking than people without dogs. You'll get the minutes when you click on the link.

We cannot finish this carnival without addressing the concept of being late. Here's an example from Scrutiny Hooligans.
