My mom posted, I believe, the first comment she’s made here on my blog, even though I know that she reads it regularly. <\/p>\n
Whilst she was speaking with Margie on the phone this afternoon, I noticed this, and made loud accusatory squawks toward the phone. Margie passed on the message (presumably in fun) that she (my mom) wasn’t sure I wanted my mother, of all people, commenting on my blog.<\/p>\n
Bosh. <\/p>\n
Comment away. Anyone reading, comment away. Comments are good. They keep things from being just me nattering away here. And it’s always validation that folks are actually reading the stuff here and are interested in it.<\/p>\n
So comment away, Mom (and anyone else). Love to hear from you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
