Jana: You are the blogging QUEEN...I love to keep up with your daily activities! BUT I miss our chats...how 'bout it when VBS is over? Let's "schedule" something. Or better yet, why don't ya'll head on up here for a visit ;)

Mary: Thanks, Brandi!

Brandi: Hey Mary, So glad I could help. I've been where you are and if it hadn't been for others I would probably gave up. Hang in there it's a long journey. I'm still learning. I have critique partners that are published and still learning so it's a never ending roller coaster ride. Don't let it get you down when it's furstrating just go with the flow.

Teresa: strawberries, sour cream and brown sugar is the best!! do you remember my mom's friend Martha? she introduced me to the idea, and it rules!

Missie: Was blog hopping...was sucked in by your most recent blogs on writing...and then became hooked when I noticed that you homeschool as well. You have a wonderful site!! I have enjoyed my visit!!

jr: the pioneer life sounds interesting

Michelle: Love your blog! I've thought about doing it, but just not sure what that would look like -- "Went to work again. Wrote more emails. Finally got the conference call set up." Talk about riveting stuff. Great to see your site up and running. How about a photo sharing site now?

Brandi: Mary, love your new look. All nice and springy. Looks like your have gotten the hang of blogging.

Maria: Hi Mary Just blog-hopping homeschooler's journals and found you! Would love it if you posted some pictures of all your gardening!! I also keep a journal on our fixer-upper house and could use some inspiration for the outside! Have a great day!
