I am almost 100% sure that I left a comment on this post a week or so ago and now I don't see it. have you been getting notices that some of your comments are being deleted? Just wanted to say "Hi" and to encourage you to keep blogging.

While I try not to make too many political arguments too often, I feel strongly that silence is complicity especiallly when it comes to things that are happening now in our country. so honestly, it will be mainly the one, but it will definitely be the other. Because I think political action is positive, probably. lol.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195838412173806659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483783877001480180.post-47427152708891874662018-07-13T10:20:40.080-06:002018-07-13T10:20:40.080-06:00I am glad you are continuing your blog especially ...I am glad you are continuing your blog especially about retirement, frugality and lifestyle. Personally, I prefer not to hear the political opinions (although you certainly have that right) as I hear way more of the anger from both sides than what I want to hear. I turn to lifestyle blogs to get away from the negativity that is so rampant in our country/world today.Carla Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08984530794563438483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483783877001480180.post-48885649468167925712018-07-13T07:27:13.607-06:002018-07-13T07:27:13.607-06:00I enjoy your blog a lot, and am glad you're co...I enjoy your blog a lot, and am glad you're continuing it. I'm not yet retired, but it's in sight, and I plan to embrace your style of retirement. Leisure, travel, sewing/crafting, reading, swimming, being with others, time alone....whatever I feel like doing! Frugality is ever present, but that's nothing new :) You have a fan!!

I know it's risky but you say what I want to say and in a much better way!!! I love reading about other peoples lives, the nuances and such.
