wow. wish i had the time to chase them all...i might take a sampling from your buffet though glynn...happy saturday to you...
Thank you for all of these Glynn :)
I like your Saturday Good Reads so much, I wish I had thought of it.
But I know I don't read as much as you do, Glynn!
My question: How many hours a week or a day do you spend reading online? Are you a very fast reader? And how do you make time for it?
Such a basket of sweet offerings to go with this morning's coffee.
Thank you for including me.
Glynn, thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement. I've said it before, but I really respect and look up to you.
Hey Glynn, Thanks for including my posts. I'm with Cassandra...I wonder how much time each week approx. you dedicate to online? Do you have any tricks?
What a great collection! I"m off to chase some of these rabbit trails.
It's always a privilege to be included here ... thank you.
