So, as ridiculous as it seems, I have JUST realized that after who knows how much time has passed that any comments to blog posts do NOT get sent to my email so I can easily read them as it was set up years ago!!!
I promise you I just thought either the comment capability was eliminated on Blogger or no one commented anymore.
Wow.
I'm scrolling down these posts and seeing all the comments and I thank you all!
I genuinely dropped the ball on this one.
It'll be fun reading these all this weekend when I have the time to really sit down and enjoy them!
Thanks everyone!
Sorry if it seemed I was ignoring the comments!
