My heart skips a beat, however, when I remember the time you thought about dropping it. I'm SO glad you went on, hard work as it can sometimes be.

It is odd to have a record over such a long time. Good in many ways but a reminder of mortality.

I've dropped the ball a bit on mine so I know how easily that happens, but I plan to do better in 2016. As it now stands, I'm retiring from even my part-time job so there will be no good excuses. Have a wonderful thanksgiving with your family.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666609213171939599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-61084541418378185022015-11-24T23:19:38.538-05:002015-11-24T23:19:38.538-05:00Thanks so much.

That was on a old computer and even though it fell in and out I loved it. Now of course it's so easy.<br /><br />I also love pictures of your lovely grandchildren, scenic New England, recipes and your book reviews. Being introduced to many poets I had never heard of has been a bonus - my favourite was The Things by Donald Hall.<br /><br />Thank you and a big pat to Lucy.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959624249031770681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-82810356564410057032015-11-24T18:15:12.520-05:002015-11-24T18:15:12.520-05:00Congratulations on blogging for 9 years!

I loved the idea that there you were in New England, and here I was in "old" England, but our views were much the same. I was really sad when you decided to stop a couple of years ago; and very cheery indeed when I found that you had decided to come back. And here you still are! ........Here's to another nine or so, Nan xMrs Mac.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13169786083907144694noreply@blogger.com
