It was meant for me to read, because I've been feeling a lot like you concerning blogging. I keep saying I'm going to start blogging again, like I used to. Well, good thoughts, but no follow through on my part. I'm REALLY going to try! Wish me luck. And I love all your travel photos!

I think blogs are a better way to connect and RL face time is always best. <br />I'm so glad you had a great trip! Did you go up in the arch in St. Louis, or was it even open?<br />We found that to be a terrifying family adventure, but we were all glad we did it.<br />And Grand Canyon - yes, beautiful, but way too big and too deep. <br />And yes, someday, I may be as unfiltered as my Great-Aunt Grace. My grandma wasn't super sassy, but her sister-in-law and brother were. :) Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115704751652270450.post-34577645122343235262021-10-08T09:53:35.967-04:002021-10-08T09:53:35.967-04:00You are a very special part of my extended writer ...You are a very special part of my extended writer family.

I do have the added benefit of having the very best neighbors. When we go out of town, we alert each other and keep an eye on each other's houses. One of the perks of small town living. <br /><br />You're so right about blogging being a more personal connection.

This trip was SO GOOD for you! Yes,...Hi Elizabeth,<br /><br />This trip was SO GOOD for you! Yes, in blogging you are among your extended family. Like you, many of us writers have been blogging for over a decade. Remember when we blogged every day? OMG, I still can't believe how many hours I day I had spend doing it. But it was an AMAZING time to be a writer blogger and the friends and advice I have received over the years is priceless! Come back home to blogging. I know I am only a once a month blogger, but I think I am going to start blogging once a week and reconnect with our wonderful community!

I figured if they were compromised and worried about crowds, they'd decline the invite. She did hole the wedding outside because she's a very thoughtful young lady.
