THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

 Thank you so much

to all who have visited me this past two weeks!

This blogging thing has been a ball for me.

I have read and enjoyed each comment left.

Your comments have been so kind and encouraging

I only hope I have properly responded to each of you.  If I did not it was because of a big case of "Blog Freeze"

To some of you, I may have responded twice, maybe, but hopefully not thrice.

Please accept this bouquet of flowers 

as a token of my appreciation

for your generous acceptance.

I hope I have brought a smile to your face

or made you chuckle a time or two

 For all of you who have "chosen" 

to follow a newbie Thank you!

This has been sooooo much fun.

I am joyous that I can visit a homemaker
 in Pakistan, a crafter in the northwest, a collector in the heartland, a young wife in Canada, a sweet soul in UK, "Wonderful" people world over and  fantastic cooks everywhere!

Did you know about the new species?

"TABLESCAPERS"

So new that spellcheck doesn't know about them yet.

I hope that we can continue
 meeting like this

for a very long time

THANK YOU!!!

Next week I will leaving for three weeks

in the land of strikes and chaos in the streets.

Don't worry 'bout me, Bonjour 
 and an offer of sweet iced tea
will win them over.
A slice of Martha's apple pecan cake
and they will hoist me to their shoulders
shouting "Viva la Ginger"
I don't know a translation for Ginger.
You have seen all I know.

I hope to have a few posts in the can before I leave. I don't want you to get fickle  

 while I am gone.

Please leave a comment. You know I looooooove to read them.

Ginger
