yours is one of my favorite blogs, Beth ; you’ve brought such joy and, at times, inspiration: I’ve been going 7 years on my current blog; I went for about 3 more on ‘The Wallah Of Whimsy’: don’t know if you recall that one —

The years catch up with us all. And may you have many more successful years of blogging.
What makes your blog successful? Only each reader can answer that.
For me it is the unchanging style of your blog. The predictability. I know what I’ll get when I come. Good value for my time spent. A quotation, a little story, a picture or two and plenty to think about when I leave. :)

thanks so much, and I feel the same about yours. we each have our own way to express ourselves and happy when others enjoy it. not many words, but hopefully entertaining or thoughtful on most days

I thought you would like her. She and her husband moved up to Scotland, where one of her daughters lives, from South Africa! Conditions were deteriorating there. She and her husband are renovating a two story house. You’ll like her I know. She is also trained as a counselor, or therapist(?).
