Yeah, my writing skills have declined also and gotten very cliche these days!<br /><br />I found you through your Switzerland posts. One day I had nothing much to do (being newly retired) and started googling people I used to know and wondered whatever happened to them. That's how I found you.<br /><br />And, you might be pleased to know, it is due to YOUR blog that I decided to give blogging a try myself. So, thank you!<br /><br />SaraSara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-49308463029465452742011-06-03T11:12:14.119-06:002011-06-03T11:12:14.119-06:00We started to learns to reads on your blog!!!

We do a lot of phone calling and e-mailing and that also keeps you close to my heart. Both your Dad and I so enjoy your ability to write so creatively and insightfully about the way you view life and we always look for more.

I am a newcomer, but I found you back in the winter and I think I found you through another blog when you were writing about those (oops, I don't remember the right terminology) ice sculptures. Beautiful photos, and something I had never heard of before (being from VA where we have snow and ice but not that much!) Anyway I have been hooked ever since and thoroughly enjoy your photos, flowers, cats, travels, etc. though I don't always agree with all of your opinions,... but that is life. Happy anniversary and DO keep on blogging....Thanks. (BTW, I am a retired college librarian.)

Then I started visiting your blog...and learned all about you...before I ever left my calling card. And just to be sure you were for real...I visited you in SLC last summer. And had a wonderful time. Oh yes...and a wonderful meal (guys and girls in SLC can cook!). <br /><br />Congrats on your 5th anniversary of blogging! If not for that...our paths would have never crossed. And thanks to Mr. B for encouraging you all along the way. <br /><br />BTW...tell Mr. B to be careful on those business trips...because he never knows what bloggers with cameras are lurking, even in the most remote places. I still have proof that he was in Whistler last May!Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/00929685771427155673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-91691421762159675122011-06-02T13:48:24.678-06:002011-06-02T13:48:24.678-06:00Note to Mr. B: You're a significant part of th...Note to Mr. B: You're a significant part of this blog...a supporter, a source of inspiration, a willing photography subject (and at times a willing photographer), and where in the world would Jill be without you?!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109955196210083177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-85070237732531963472011-06-02T12:57:27.212-06:002011-06-02T12:57:27.212-06:00My first memory of the blogging experience was hea...My first memory of the blogging experience was hearing you agoninze over how to build the site and publishing....Can't believe I have been a part of the blogging journey for 5 years, but I wouldn't have it any other way. We both learned lots over the time reviewing the posts and how others have interacted with "the window into Jill's world". Please don't stop.

You were in Texas then, right? See, this helping you remember is tough on my old brain. At first, I thought your blog was all about hats and costumes. Then I realized, reading your political commentary, that it was more, much more. Now you've evolved into an incredible photographer!<br /><br />You've told your journey so well putting into words feelings that I'd have challenges with for my greatest challenge in blogging is specificity. Congrats on five wonderful years of blogging...

(I think I've related this to you before, perhaps while sitting on your deck in SLC last August!) I found your blog quite by accident. I was relatively new to blogging (my five-year anniversary will be next month) and I was google-searching for blogs of interest to me. There were about 4 or 5 blogs that I visited regularly, and I noticed the same people leaving comments each day on one of them. I clicked their names...read their blogs...added them to my blog-reader. I kept coming back to one in particular (my Aussie-friend, Carolanne, who recently moved to Washington state), and then I began clicking on the names of her commenters. Somehow, I ended up at Lovella's blog and each time I came back, I enjoyed reading your comments as much as her posts, so I clicked your name. I landed right in the middle of your Dustin Family Saga, specifically this post: http://jillthinksdifferent.blogspot.com/2007/03/chapter-11-hannahs-story.html. I backtracked to the beginning and read the entire saga as you posted it. I'm not sure when I actually left my first comment...I was a very timid commenter back then. I've learned a lot from you over these past few years through your blogging, and I found a wonderful friend! <br /><br />I love that you connected with a relative by blogging about your family history! The world continues to get smaller, doesn't it? <br /><br />I'll have to admit, my blogging has its ups and downs, I'm still not a very good commenter, and I have a microscopic following (which really is fine with me), but I'm glad for the friendships, both real and virtual, that I've found through blogging.

I think we've missed a few of each others posts over the years since we met here in blog land but I'd like to think we are a little bit like Tiggie. .faithful friends.<br />The first post I read was this one<br />http://jillthinksdifferent.blogspot.com/2006/12/friday-night-date-night-camels-and.html<br /><br />I left a comment that day, telling you I'd be back again. <br /><br />I agree that blogging must first of all be for the pure joy of blogging. If it ever becomes a chore or a job or even dissapointing. .perhaps it is time to take a hiatus and explore new hobbies. I thnk we all are dissapointed and irked at times when those closest to us don't respond . . .but on the other hand I have gained respect for those peoples boundaries of remaining silent about my hobby. <br /><br />You would get a ribbon for most improved in photography. Your pictures are becoming more and more fascinating. <br /><br />Happy 5th blogaversary!Lovella ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870567090244361779noreply@blogger.com
