Wow, MapleMama. You have been very busy with your blog. Quite an eclectic resource.
I'm struggling to keep up, and just a few weeks ago you were lamenting your lack of presence here. I'm extremely impressed.
The typing is impeccable, by the way.
Why thanks, Bernie! I just love spell check!
Seriously - I think I had more to share than I even knew. Although I am feeling that my blog is pretty scattered topic wise - but, for now, maybe that will reach a wider audience.
You keep up the great work too! I am particularly intrigued with your recent post teasers (Click to see more) - where you are only posting part of the content on the front page. Really keeps things neat! I like it!
Thanks again! LOEV you!
