BACK ON LINE

ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF BEING DRIVEN OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS BY THE BEES IS THAT WE ARE BACK ON LINE. THREE MONTHS OFF LINE WITH NO INTERNET WAS TUFF ON US BOTH. IT'S SO NICE TO CATCH UP ON ALL MY FAVORITE RV BLOGS, WHICH ARE LISTED IN THE LEFT HAND COLUMN.

ONE OF MY FAVORITES ON THE LIST IS MISSING, LOONEYS FOREVER. BUBBA WAS ATTRACTING TOO MANY POSTVILLE AREA RESIDENTS READING HER DIVERSITY BLOGS, AND IT WAS BEGINNING TO HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT. I'LL MISS BUBBA'S STYLE, HUMOR, AND WIT, PLUS I AGREED WITH HER DIVERSITY POINT OF VIEW. I HAVE REPLACED BUBBA'S BLOG WITH THE BAD NICK BLOG ON THE LIST, WHICH IS ALSO AT TIMES POLITICALLY INCORRECT AND WELL WRITTEN. GIVE IT A LOOK- SEE IF YOU'RE MISSING BUBBA.

OF COURSE THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED E-MAILS TO DEAL WITH TOO. BUT BEING THE "COUCH MOUSE" I AM, I'M SURE I'LL GET CAUGHT UP. CHATTING ON YAHOO MESSENGER WITH AMY WAS AT THE TOP OF MY LIST, AND I EVEN GOT TO SEE ALL THREE OF MY GRANDSONS ON THE WEB-CAM. THE YOUNGEST, JOEY, HAS CHANGED THE MOST AND HE WAS VERY ENTERTAINING AS HE WATCHED HIMSELF ON MOMMY'S COMPUTER.

IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK ON LINE, BUT I'M NOT GOING BACK TO DAILY BLOGGING. I DIDN'T MISS THE PRESSURE OF DAILY DEADLINES AT ALL, BUT STILL LOVE SHARING OUR STORIES AND ADVENTURES WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS AND OTHER COUCH MOUSES OUT THERE.

BLOGGING THE LAST THREE MONTHS WAS DONE WITH THE AID OF WINDOWS LIVE WRITER SOFTWARE WHICH ALLOWED US TO WRITE OUR BLOGS OFF LINE COMPLETE WITH PICTURES AND THEN UPLOAD THEM QUICK ON A WI-FI SIGNAL FROM BASKIN AND ROBINS, THE LIBRARY, OR THE LAUNDROMAT.

BLOG READERSHIP AVERAGED 75 -80 READERS A DAY DURING THE SUMMER AND I WAS SURPRISED THAT SO MANY OF YOU CONTINUED TO CHECK ON US DURING OUR ABSENCE. THANK-YOU !!

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE GOOD NEWS ON THE BLOG FRONT......

UNCLE HANS RETURNS THIS WEEK AS WELL, WITH HIS ANNUAL EPISODE OF "TWO GUYS AND A BANNER"

STAY TUNED ........
