Patricia and Davina are such caring souls .. I’m sure you’ll be speechless for a while – but a well, well deserved speechlessness .. your blog is so worth it.<br /><br />Yes – I loved doing the little tour around Bend .. it is a pretty place .. and you’ll get a few more tourists I think from peoples’ comments here – saying they’d visit. Interesting area too .. did you see that Patricia lives on your river?<br /><br />I am just so grateful that I came over to your blog – as it’s been an absolutely pot pourri of ideas and thoughts .. a gathering place of bloggers united! Presented in such an interesting way .. giving us something to think about & to learn from.<br /><br />The comments have been great haven’t they .. and I know you’ve had a few new visitors which is good news .. support is what the blogging community is all about .. <br /><br />My mother is back hearing again and quite awake at the moment .. so she’ll love her hugs from Bend! Great to see you .. and have a lovely week .. basking in the sunshine of this wonderful blogging fraternity ... with a few hugs back ..

Having read and re-read all of the tributes which were posted last week, I'm still speechless; still wondering how I got so lucky to have so many great friends in blogosphere. I truly feel blessed. <br /><br />And leave it to you to research and include information and photos of Bend. As you've seen, it's pretty country, a place I proudly call home. <br /><br />Hilary, I can't even begin to express my gratitude for your love and support, but know it means the world to me. <br /><br />And to those who showed support via the comments, I want to say I'm truly appreciative of your kind words. They will not be forgotten. <br /><br />Love and ((hugs)) all around, including your mum, Hilary. <br /><br />xoBarbara Swaffordhttp://bloggingwithoutablog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-52232761015054637072010-09-27T17:04:44.721+01:002010-09-27T17:04:44.721+01:00Hi Will - as you say .. community and friends with...Hi Will - as you say .. community and friends with their support in this blogosphere of ours.<br /><br />Hope all's well your end & you're getting baby minders/sitters sorted out .. all the best - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-78095525639055948652010-09-27T15:21:30.992+01:002010-09-27T15:21:30.992+01:00Yup, the community is my favorite part of Blogging...Yup, the community is my favorite part of Blogging!Will Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10158149526658590324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-54821613497072709612010-09-27T15:05:55.724+01:002010-09-27T15:05:55.724+01:00Hi Holly .. thanks - 'she's worth it' ...Hi Holly .. thanks - 'she's worth it' - the whole idea was great .. and I enjoyed being able to weave my interests into the post too ..<br /><br />Apples - I know - love this season .. fresh, ripe apples, luscious desserts on cooling evenings, toffee apples .. dunking apples, cider .. and so much more.<br /><br />Great to see you - have a lovely week ..
