THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU said the weakling!

I've been gone til mid-afternoon, had groceries and "stuff" to put away when I got home and now hustled to the computer....to see if anyone, anyone left me a comment. I had such grand ideas as I began this blog to keep in touch with you kids (and other precious, dear family and friends) and didn't think comments would mean anything to me. I WAS WRONG. I ADMIT I CRAVE COMMENTS. COMMENTS KEEP ME GOING AT THIS BLOG. I have been so shifty as to email my blog address to cousins and church friends just in the hope of recognition. I AM WEAK. SHOULD I BE ASHAMED? Are any of you bloggers slightly like this? Am I extreme? I laughed when dear friends emailed me and told me they liked the blog but left no comment. They just don't know what a comment means to a blogger and I understand. I was the same way. I don't think any are still reading my blog but if so forgive me if I trifle with you; no offense meant. Also, I know some of you have tried to leave comments but "the system" won't let you!!! I had that problem at first also. I really do not want to sound like a BRAT here. Deep breath, I've got that out of my system...right. Which leads me to proclaim with gusto, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your comments. P.S. And the "stuff" that I came home with that were wants and not needs included a hummingbird feeder. I got rehooked on the one Ben put up in OREGON.
