I would never have met you for a start. So thank you, Hilary and thank you, Arlee and what a fascinating topic for a blogfest.

I know that I've made some great blogger friends and I really look forward to reading every new post.<br /><br />I don't say that often enough though. I just read in happy silence.

I do know that I really missed many bloggers and it was like weening one's self from an addiction. It makes no sense that I push myself to the limit and keep so busy but I guess that is just the nature of certain people. I saw you over at Sue's and I agree with you.... as mostly always.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-78781688163935242982012-11-19T07:57:59.410+00:002012-11-19T07:57:59.410+00:00@ Robyn - love the word 'slew' - thanks fo...@ Robyn - love the word 'slew' - thanks for following and sure hope you enjoy the other bloggers ..<br />@ Heather - I'm sure you'll enjoy some of them - they're fun<br />@ Susan - it's very hard keeping up - and thanks so very much for the big tick for my posting!<br /><br />@ Gary - one o'clock .. oh boy that's an unearthly hour!<br /><br />Gary, you and Penny are great always giving us the better side of life .. well, I sure hope you won't ever leave us bloggers ...

Indeed, it embraces the genuine ideals of a sharing, caring community and you have shown such clear demonstration.<br /><br />And I note that ray of youthful, positive sunshine, our buddy, Lenny is on your list. <br /><br />Looking down your list at the end, I must say I'm truly flattered that you would include us in the "don't leave me!" group. Of course, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star, recently promoted to superstar status, due to her guest posting on Alex's site, thinks you are well neat for a human! <br /><br />Cheers Hilary and may you long continue to delight and inform with your articulate and fascinating posts.<br /><br />Gary and of course, Penny! :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-496281575857365232012-11-19T00:47:08.637+00:002012-11-19T00:47:08.637+00:00It's hard keeping up with everyone, isn't ...It's hard keeping up with everyone, isn't it? <br /><br />How could I leave you when I enjoy your posts so much? :)<br />Susan J.
