How fantastic! Pardon the exclamation point overkill but I can't express my glee any better. I dream of the day that one of my half-aunts or uncles -- or better yet, the son my mother gave up for adoption when she was a teen -- contacts me through my blog. I'm so happy for you. You'll have to give us the scoop in a later post!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind words about my blog as well.

However, like other blogs, my blog has evolved into something totally different than I imagined. I intended to mainly write about my family. I have done this too, but have discovered so many wonderful people, other topics (technology and historical), as well as my own personal memories (Memory Mondays).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your thoughts on blogging.Professor Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674796159290496998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-25321614315964197442009-03-24T17:04:00.000-07:002009-03-24T17:04:00.000-07:00Greta, I certainly agree with all of your reasons!...Greta, I certainly agree with all of your reasons!
