I am sorry it took so long. No we didn’t abscond with all the Christmas loot, we just got sidetracked a little along the way.
Hope everyone had a great time over the Christmas & New Year festivities, ours was a little quiet but still enjoyable.
In looking back over 2007, I have to conclude that from the blogging standpoint, I had a very successful year. Considering when I wrote my first blog Jan 15th, and even then I didn’t have a clue what to write, it turned out ok and I found it so exhilarating. I owe most of the success of my blog to all of you, the readers of what I put out there.
Without an audience a show cannot go on. Writing blogs is not that far different from any other form of entertainment. You make people happy or laugh, even shed a tear or two, but they will come back for that second look.
That second look is what all of you gave me and have kept on giving me throughout the year, even when at times, the shelves were empty, I thank you so much for that and for your patience.
For 2008 I would hope to continue with the kind of writing that has kept you coming back in the first place. There are some personal changes in our real life future shortly, but I am sure we can accommodate that without too many problems. In the meantime I wish you all well, I wish you good health & good fortune.
May God smile on you and the World and make it a less troubled place. ~ Thank you all and God Bless. ~

...and just to let you know, my brother did the impossible and saved my data before the Dell guy told me I would have to reconfigure my computer. So it works now. It's blank but it works.
Well my friend I hope you had the good sense to back up your files etc etc. :)

Eric, I love the picture of the morning glory. It's some years since I had a vine in the greenhouse.
Every best wish in your changes in 2008, and glad you enjoyed the nostalgic tour of the villages - I posted the rest of the pics today.
I really enjoy your writing and I believe I made a good mate inthe process. I look forward to reading more this year.
Cheers

It's nice though to have friends such as you. Have a good 2008 Mate.
Welcome back Seamus from those dizzying heights. Just the sight of you standing atop the mountain was enough for me.
I can see that you my friend really lives life to the fullest. You're the Man of Steel from now on going up there the way you did.
I wish also to you, that 2008 is a very fruitful and fulfilling year for you & yours.
I am thrilled that you come here to read me, you really made my day my friend. :)
I know 2008 will be a good year Eric. And your blog posts will be among the bright spots. I guess in my laziness the past couple of days, I didn't wish you a personal Happy New Year. Well, consider it now done. :-)
Hello Leon, I wouldn't say you were lazy, for everyone gets caught up in the activities of the moment my friend.
I will strive to do my best and live up to expectations in my writing, right now I feel enthusiastic about the days ahead...... Maybe spring would have something to do with that. :)
A very Happy New Year to you also Leon, it's always good to see your smiling face here. :)
2008 eric..I'll be sneaking around the corner spying on you...count on that.:)))
Thank you Tim my friend, I always knew I could count on you! LOL
I will be thinking of you as always, lots of good wishes and success with your painting. :)

You brighten up the world with your wonderful writings!
Happy New Year!!!
