I still have a long way to go to reach that achievement in Blogland. :) <br /><br />But honestly, I'm not wondering why so many people love to read your blogs and share a piece of what they know. Your posts are always insightful and interesting. <br /><br />I'm sorry for not being able to comment these past few days. Blogging has taken the back seat recently but I'm hoping things will fall into place soon. <br /><br />Thanks Rosaria! :)Kikithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15443700017435144681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-26449271612201718822009-07-01T03:41:02.143-07:002009-07-01T03:41:02.143-07:00Congrats on your following.

I love them all for that! And comments are so important, because after all blogging is mostly about interaction.<br /><br />Saying that, life gets in the way sometimes and I missed your last post. Beautiful photos, it's absolutely stunning where you live.

As potsoc said, this age stuff is between your ears. You’re interested in everything around you, as well as charming and interesting to know. And your writing is splendid. You’re getting to know us. As you said, “After the first few months people's patterns begin to establish: maladies, concerns, patterns of posting.” <br /><br />In short, instead of saying you’re old, I would say you are a delightful and “venerable” member of our society.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-63007073283321623232009-06-30T21:38:18.727-07:002009-06-30T21:38:18.727-07:00Great job - having friends is like having blooms i...Great job - having friends is like having blooms in the garden and cyber friends are flowers you can take with you wherever you go :)Kimbra Kaschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955657301998255029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-33476783287133859262009-06-30T21:09:47.082-07:002009-06-30T21:09:47.082-07:00Well said!

"for hanging out with an old woman".<br />Rubbish!! neither you or I are old!! we are young, or we feel young - so there everyone!!<br />You are a lovely lady and I respect your writing ability, your openness, your hospitality, your encouragement to others and your friendship. My only regret is, due to insufficient time availability, I am not able to visit your super blog and posts as often as I would like.

Of course a man can be friends with a woman! We adore the other side of our species! You are the salt of earth!

One hundred folks may live in a town, but only a few visit regularly. Rob asked how I can keep up with 100.<br /> It's easy for me because I used to run a school bigger than my present town. After the first few months people's patterns begin to establish: maladies, concerns, patterns of posting.<br /><br />You tend to visit more often with people who make you feel at home; you tend to wish you knew more about some others. Mostly, you return the visit, appreciate the hospitality.<br /><br />That's a community out there, connecting on many levels.<br /><br />I especially thank Costo, Man of Roma, Rob-bear,Eddie, Brian, for hanging out with an old woman. Frankly, it goes to show that women and men can develop real friendships. Or. it goes to show that these men have grown up, and we women have stopped playing the same adolescent games.<br /><br />All continents are represented here, all time zones, all races and creeds as well. If we can talk to each other, there is hope for the rest of the world in conflict.<br /><br />Ciao. Au revoir.

Congratulations. Today I will add you to my list of recommended blogs. <br /><br />You provide a warm sense of community, of going together 'scratching our way through'. And one feels you are idealistic and sage, and that you have learned it the hard way. All this is not so common nowadays. There is a lot of void.<br /><br />I think the support from readers is well deserved, and much more are about to show up, I'm sure. <br /><br />Ciao!Man of Romahttp://manofroma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-57938788439119596552009-06-30T05:59:42.066-07:002009-06-30T05:59:42.066-07:00I so agree with Beth up there - I, too, would abso...I so agree with Beth up there - I, too, would absolutely love to share a long leisurely meal with you and to learn more from you than I already do from following your thought-provoking, erudite and friendly blog and the lovely images you post.
