Glad I checked! Thanks for visiting my site, and I am very glad you like it. I am flattered that you would add me to your blogroll. Thanks. The thing about putting yourself in wild places (even in your own backyard), is that it gives you the opportunity to connect with something bigger than yourself - and maybe learn something about yourself in the process. In trying to share the beauty of places I realize I am quite privileged to experience, a bit of that philosophy creeps in. And I think that is where you and I connect as well. I thoroughly enjoyed your writing. Very insightful! Bob- Sorry for my late reply – your comment was trapped in the spam hole! Glad I checked!

Your gift is truely your creativity and artistic abilities in both writing and photography. I am still learning more and more about the blogging for money thing. It is a slow process and obviously has to do with big numbers of visitors to the site, which I have yet to discover that secret. I love the experiences you share about where you live and how you make it visible in my imagination. Thanks for the continued thoughts and I will keep in touch. I love the pics on your new site!

It gets kind of addictive, you know. It's opened a whole different world to me. My computer has turned into a time machine - it just sucks away the time and the next thing I know, hours have disappeared! I will change your link - and your name while I'm at it (glad you like the idea of Davy's Locker - I live by the ocean, so the idea of pirates dredging things up from the bottom of the sea comes rather naturally). I am interested in hearing more about how things work out with your mom. And I can definitely use some help in the tech dept. So I will keep checking in. With blogspot, I had trouble signing in and leaving a comment on Jen's page, but maybe it was a glitch in the system that particular day. I tried several times to change my sign-in name & password and it kept telling me I didn't have the right info. But I might reconsider converting. Thanks for the reference to my blog on your new site! That was very nice of you. Hmmm – I never even thought about making $ off this blogging thing. It gets kind of addictive, you know.

Although I love Wordpress for the features it gives for the look of the site, I have been evaluating different blog hosts and because one of my purposes to blog is to generate some income, I will most likely switch to using my blogger site (http://lindbergblog.blogspot.com/). If you would like to check that site out and perhaps switch to it on your blogroll. Eventually, I would like to find a good software and host my own domain for my blog, but in the meantime, to continue learning about the income from blogging, I will use blogger. I hope to see you over there and I may end up deleting this Wordpress site to avoid confusion. Take care! Hi Blythe.

It is a sometimes painful thing to write about, and not something I can pour out every day. Some of it I find hard to remember, which in itself is scary. In 5 short years - which seemed so long at the time - my mother was gone. There were so many ups and downs along the way. At times I felt I gave up so many things I wanted to do, but that is one of the big lessons here. Alzheimer's has got to be one of the cruelest diseases. Watching your loved one slowly crumble in confusion is gut-wrenching. I came to know my mother as this incredible courageous person whom I might otherwise never have known. I so admire the three of you sticking together. When it gets down to it - when you realize that so little in life is really necessary - you also realize that family - however that is defined - is all that really matters. Why are we here, after all, if not to help one another? And who are we if we do not? These things define us. My heart goes out to you. Embrace the things that bring you closer, even if you can’t see it at the time. Yes, it helps to know other people have been there. Contact me any time you feel alone in one of those dark places – or on the flip side, when it is fun to celebrate with others a bright moment. As time goes on, moments are all we get, so we have to appreciate them. And thank you for adding me to your blogroll. I am new to how this works, but I am finding that it’s all about people. Connections make that happen. I am so glad I have this chance to get to know you and several others who have contacted me through this medium. Technology is amazing, isn't it?

I want to keep up with you and what you have been through and how you are doing. I live in a 3-generation-of-women household, and guess I'm the 'baloney' in the middle. My mother has Alz, and my daughter gave up her life/career to be the full-time caregiver while I earn the living to support us. My daughter gets the brunt of so much of the challenges of the various stages, various days, etc. I think the absolute world of her for taking on this side of the situation. We have looked around for kindred spirits who actually understand this journey, not just those who think we can make my mother "better" by [insert impossible suggestion here]. Again, I thank you for sharing. You are an awesome writer and I weep with you (and for us) in sharing your words. shu I hope you don’t mind that I have added you to my blogroll.
