  16. Thanks to all who leave such nice comments- unfortunately I am not able to reciprocate and visit all your blogs as some folks have them set up for privacy reasons. So just know that I appreciate all who visit and comment.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
