I Wish I Could Thank You...

Let me take a minute to tell those of you who take time to make a comment here on the blog how much I enjoy reading them. For a long time I replied to each one. But for computer-y reasons I don't understand—or internet reasons which I understand even less—I can no longer reply to a comment. I've tried to do in all the ways possible. Rest assured each of your comments is read and appreciated even when you don't get a direct reply.

To the most recent commenters...Barb, I love hearing from you. I feel like I know you now. Chloe, I'm happy the pork chop recipe worked out well for you. We've used that one for ages. And GoodnightGram, I read your blog and know you are one busy lady. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your wisdom. Angela, where we live, one hour of falling snow counts as a snow storm! And Jane, this hat is so cute on a newborn head! I've made dozens of them.

There are other readers who let me hear from them by email and texts. And some locals will tell me in person when they've tried a good recipe from here. And if you only read and never comment that's okay, too. It's all good.

Some of you have told me that you've found it hard to make a comment here. I've searched all over the web to find out why. I've changed a few settings, but I'm not sure that made any difference. But I did try. There might be a more efficient blogging platform available, but I'm old and not sure I have the wherewithal to start this whole thing over in a new place.

Let me toss in a few other blog thoughts while we are on the subject....one thing I would love to have here is a "print" button for the recipes. But "cut & paste & print" will have to do for now. Not fancy but it works. The coding to add a print button is more than I can handle. Maybe you have noticed there are no ads here. Nothing popping up in your face. No affiliate links. I don't make money from blogging. I do this because I enjoy it. Let's put it this way...I'm embracing simplicity!

Maybe one day the blog platform will flip back over to the way it was. (I've lost some other tools, too.) But until then please accept this as a blanket reply and a big thanks to all of you for reading and sharing your thoughts!
