I just wanted to pop in and let you know I am still around, I'm just very busy right now, and my social media life has been put on hold for a bit. Although you will see me on Facebook and such, it's just a little faster than blogging. But, I have not given up blogging, it's my first social media love; when things settle down, I will be right back online, posting about the things I love and visiting the people I love...you are one of them!<br /><br />Hugs and Love,<br />BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-4275652981894574202018-08-22T04:13:53.876+01:002018-08-22T04:13:53.876+01:00We just had a hailstorm here.

We welcome rain. <br />Sorry, that you couldn’t figure out how to the privacy part; but I think many have to handle the negative comments. You are so popular and we all love your posts so I am happy that that you are staying on. I think there are many that follow youthat don’t comment. <br />I haven’t had creamed corn for a very long time; so yummy! <br />The baby lambs are adorable. <br />I love your pattern and colors fo ryour blanket. <br />I always love your dreaming section. We have similar tastes. <br />I liked your super. I love oatmeal cereal and have had it often for breakfast. <br />The book looks like a good one for my future reading list. <br />The 911 show looks like one to try and watch. <br />I love that you sweet son pays great attention to letting you be involved in their lives. My children area somewhat good at this. However, it can go for a while before hear form my sons. My daughters area a little better at more often phone calls. <br />We do need to take time to enjoy the small blessings in life. I love how you do that. <br />Sending loving thoughts and hugs! <br /><br /><br />LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-78552430801775964512018-08-22T02:03:22.727+01:002018-08-22T02:03:22.727+01:00There's so many pretty things I love about tod...There's so many pretty things I love about today's blog!Eye candy. :) And I enjoy a peek into your life across the ocean. I grew up in the same "era" as you did, Marie, (born 1945) and many of the things you talk about (and love) were similar for me during my childhood.

I'm not a blogger myself, but there are a few of you whom I enjoy and appreciate following. I'll never understand the warped minds of those who seek to bring more ugliness into the world. I'm sorry you have to lay eyes on such comments, and hope you are able to overlook and eliminate them from your thoughts. Wishing you the best always from across the pond.<br /><br />Sharon in Alabaman/ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369954553919919919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-58531988204808476512018-08-22T00:53:09.852+01:002018-08-22T00:53:09.852+01:00You could move your blog to FB and make it a priva...You could move your blog to FB and make it a private/secret group.

I'm just sorry it didn't work after all that work. <br /><br />I know it's easy for me to say not to allow the negativity to bother you, it would bother me too. I am so tender hearted, but I tell you this, I read because I love hearing about what is happening in your world. It keeps us close to spite our distance. I look forward to reading both blogs every morning with my tea.<br /><br />I love the bee pillow. John loves bees... he takes beautiful photos of them on flowers. They hold a great significance for him. I know he'd love that pillow. A Christmas idea I think.<br /><br />I co-taught a kids camp today out in Bedford this morning.... 24 kids! We made brownies as the base for banana splits, stuffed pasta shells, chicken fingers and Parmesan oven chips. I'd never seen so many dishes! ;)<br /><br />Sending much love and thanks for all the hard work you put into your blogs.

We have also watched the first episode of "For the People" and are enjoying that. If you like legal dramas. I will check out for those other ones you suggested. My son is such a good boy. When he was a baby and toddler he had a head full of Shirley Temple Curls. He as always been my fuzzy bear. I am making him a blanket also. In Autumn colours. Just waiting for the yarn to come. I showed him this one on Sunday and he said he would love one. So what can I do? :-) I know it will be appreciated! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-60193928986205703522018-08-21T12:51:42.117+01:002018-08-21T12:51:42.117+01:00I am really happy to be here Tracy.

I just thought going private would eradicate the problem altogether, but I am happy to put up with it rather than lose all of the plusses I get from blogging. It is worth it.

I will be praying that they can quickly sort it. It will be no fun if she is still in pain come the wedding! Also praying for Ashley.

We&#...Hi Marie, sorry I haven't been on lately. We've been in London for a few days which was awful as Ashley was admitted to hospital. We still don't know what's wrong, possibly shingles or an abscess by her eye.<br /><br />Anyways I'm so sorry for all the trouble over making your blog private. I read and follow many blogs and over the last ten years have thought about starting one of my own. But, I have also seen some negative comments that have both amazed and outraged me. I can't believe that people can write these kind of things. So as I don't want to put up with that negativity I've never started one, but I admire you greatly for doing it. As you know I have been following you since your AOL journal and would hate you to stop, but thats me being totally selfish! I'm 100% certain that all the lovely people who follow you and leave lovely comments would also miss you, so hopefully you can ignore the 'horrible one' and keep looking to find a way to just block her.<br /><br />I'm just waiting for my daughter to get in touch. She had her wisdom tooth removed a couple of weeks ago and she has woken this morning to a really painful and swollen face. She's got an emergency dentist appointment but she's really upset as her wedding is in two weeks. If it's not one thing it's another!!<br /><br />Have a lovely Tuesday, lot's of love xxx <br /><br />kate hazlehursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765372270255609078noreply@blogger.com
