Saturday Good Reads


Blogger went awry on Thursday, the posts for that disappearing and then reappearing on Friday (minus the comments). Google said they were doing maintenance and discovered corrupted files, and down the system went to fix it. It wasn’t the end of the world, but a lot of people run businesses from their blogs.

In spite of spite, there were still a lot of good posts this week.

  4. Well, hello there. It's nice to meet you. I'm laughingly joining the blogging party a bit late. As I've been tip toeing around, perusing and feeling quite shy about the prospect of such things as tweeting poetry parties, your mug keeps popping up everywhere. So I finally feel comfortable enough to comment and say thank you for this post and pointing me in so many wonderful directions. A whole new world. :) Who'da thunk it?

  7. thanks, Glynn.

    the kindness and Love that you project goes far and wide and touches many hearts.

    which is more powerful than... well, much more powerful than blogger being down for a day.

    wasn't that something? one day without blogger, someone could write a book on some of the different ways that it effected people's lives.

  9. THank you for linking "Thin Line", Glynn. Blogger didn't like it and deleted it! I had to re-post it. That was frustrating, wasn't it? Heading out to explore some of these good reads!
