HEY, 'MEMBER ME ????????

Is this the new post ?????   It looks like just a white page to me.   It is not at all inspiring.  Inserting an image looks much too difficult and without pictures, who's going to want to read anything???  
I have been asked, just lately by Ben, and others before,  to get the posts going, and you can see the rather pathetic attempts in the last two. Not much ever came to me.  A few of my blogging friends have also strayed away, to facebook mostly for their internet interactions and the blogging appears to have simply faded away.   That and this very uninspiring page to type against has almost killed this activity.   I don't care for the new setup here.  I had mastered the old system and I don't want to go through the confusion of learning a new one.  Oh well.......

I have missed my blogging buddies very much.  I don't know if the friendships can be renewed.  Families members are a bit more permanent, let's hope.  After all, I suppose I would eventually give up too, if I looked everyday for a favorite blog and it never showed up, not that I have given up on any of you out there.  I'm the one who has come to a posting halt. However, I am anxious to chat with you all again.  I have missed you all.   So this time, I resolve to post several times a week, and learn how to include a photo in the post for interest or amusement.  I am also resolving to work on my Librarything Early Reviews.   I am so far behind on those, but bless them they have continued to send me free books asking for my opinion on them.  I really enjoy doing that, honing my language skills as I go along.    My list of 'waiting to be read' books is sooo long and includes [le Miserable]...a rather fat book that will require some vamped-up dedication. I have yet to see the movie.  Have you seen it???    So..... here is another attempt at efficiency.   I really hope to see you and your comments here. Ben got our family started on blogging years ago as a way to keep in touch with him and each other.  And we love it.   Ben writes delightful blogs...you should take a look.  It's a good way to keep in touch.   And with friends too.  I really love you guys.
 So..How are you ??  How is blogging going for you??  What's new?   Will you remember me when I come to visit your posts???  I hope you leave comments.
