Thank you

To all my lovely friends ,and you all know who you are THANKYOU .and to all my new friends WELCOME,and that includes you Fran ,we have become buddies already,I have had so many lovely comments this morning I am quite overwhelmed.....In fact my whelm is so far over ,I dont know if I'll ever get it back where it belongs.I got a couple of negative comments I have left them on for your amusement ,My Pc is doing strange things today ,I'm sure its me AOLChat&Community ,didnt choose the most technicaly minded person to feature ,in fact I am complete technophobe,Completly at the mercy of any help I can get ,and believe you me since I joined this community,I've had it in spades ,since I started my blog last September ,I cant believe the kindness/friendliness I have encountered ,both in the UK and in the US as my dear friend Ally in Norfolk UK  said the other day ,we have learned so much about the American way of life and discovered we arent so different ,and have many true friends now over there .

 

Today our friend Joan over at StrannyDaze is celebrating her Birthday,I cant put the old B/day cake on here Joan told you I have the gremlins ,but like everyone else send my love for a happy Birthday my friend xx

I have to say thankyou to my friend Jeannette (travels )who has been cheering me on when my little green arrows grow dim ,then go to  yellow....and thank her for the first picture on my journal today.Mwah!

Thanks also to Jeannette (Jottings )for giving me the first big shove ,come on in the waters lovely,And Sandra for your emails on a similar vein,and breaking the news about today ....and dear Jules for putting me forward

To my friends across the pond I dont know if you get the same welcome page as us ,but when I get rid of afore mentioned gremlins I will post the pic of that page.....

And to my friends here in the UK are you having a good bank holiday ?...its raining ! I shall soon have to go and do the shopping...life goes on you know !...then come back and hold the nails and make the tea while Maurice does some more work on the Ark ! I'd love to name you all for the help you have given me so willingly over the last nine months..but as I said you know who you are,and for each one of you who visit my journal and leave nice comments,and allow me to read yours ....Thankyou...and knowing you alllllll I am truly Blessed ...With Love Jan xx

I'm always reminded of that Leapy Lee song....Little arrows when I think of you now Jan!! I went back and saw the negative comments you undeservedly got, some people need to get a life don't they?! Luckily we aren't all mean spirited like them and we like your 'drivel'!! I hope you get your whelm back soon! It's not raining here yet but it's very overcast. Have a lovely weekend. Jeannette xx

Congratulations once again Jan.  You know I have been absent and missed out on a lot and I simply cannot read everybody's back entries. I am still in a lot of discomfort, hopefully getting better though.  Wish the weather would improve.  Glad you have made new friends.  Hugs.

Goog luck with the Ark - hope there's room in there for a lot of us (LOL!) - although it is dry up here on the east coast of Scotland today,

Hi Jan,it's true what they say,that all the attractive women always appear to be with a partner-they are never alone.Your guy no doubt knows how lucky he is. Reading your journal,as user friendly as it is,no doubt give me a vicarious thrill. May I join the many admirers you obviously have in your domain?

loved reading your journal, what a lovely family you have. i 've tried to do blog of my own "Meanderings of my mind" but it seems terribly boring, better try again and try to spice it up a bit .I always wonder if anyone else would be interested in my quiet way of life. Thank you for your jottings, Doris Davies

Hi Jan,
As usual, was writing to you when I looked something up and lost the lot. Well,  here I go again.
I was commenting on the fact that we have so much in common - both Pisceans, (mine was 6th March) both have four children and nine grandchildren, and both use AOL. I am now going to taqke some time and read your blog properly. If you want to look at mine it is: shirleysnew.blogspot.com - will be in touch.
Regards, Shirley

What a lovely entry Jan, so full of humour as usual, no wonder you`re so poplular despite the negative comments that I`ve not read yet but will just for a laugh.  I know I won`t be taking them seriously anymore than you have.  I suppose now you`re up there with the famous, and possibly the rich, we can only hope that you`ll still want to read our humble journals....lol!  ;o)

I know we haven't met but it's really strangely satisfying to see the face of someone I feel I know and consider a friend on the home page!!  Really pleased for you, you're a celebrity now you know!  Enjoy it!  Love the pics of your brood xx

Jan....you fair brighten up that welcome page!!  Hope you are enjoying your 15 minutes of fame - can I have your autograph?!  Seriously, you deserve the recognition - I adore reading your journal, as do so many others.  How's the ark coming along?....could do with one myself, it's rained up here all day.
Hugs,

I am laughing at the technophobe.  I am the biggest one of all.  Completely helpless.  LOL..I even have problems setting my mobile phone.  I ended up getting a Kodak Share digital camera because it is so much more user friendly than my children's cameras.  But finally, you are on the welcome page....YEAH!  And thanks for sharing it with us.  Have yourself a great week of fame!  HUGS  Chris
