My new favorite blog


A while back, my blog gained another new follower (and now there are 22 of you) named Sissy who lives in what she calls Upper East Tennessee. I was slothful and didn’t manage to get around to returning the compliment and reading her blog until today, and I am hooked, hooked, I tell you. I read all the way back to August 15th in one sitting.

Sissy doesn’t have a lot of readers. Wait, that’s not what I meant to say. Let me start over. I don’t know how many people read Sissy’s blog, but not many of them leave comments. I want my little band of readers to help remedy that situation. Sissy, a very good writer, covers life in Upper East Tennessee very well, plus excursions to such exotic places as Live Oak, Florida, and Asheville, North Carolina. Her sidebar even includes quotations from the Dalai Lama (“In the practice of tolerance, one’s enemy is the best teacher.”), Albert Einstein (“Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.”), and Charlotte Brontë (“Conventionality is not morality.”).

Besides, anybody with a dog named Choco is okay in my book.

Here’s your treat for the day, readers, Sissy’s blog!

  2. RWP, Thank you for your complimentary post. I had no idea someone might actually like my blog; fact being that yes, I do not generate but few comments.

    Ego jumped in and I wore the crown for a bit.

    Hoping I will continue to garner your interest.

    And of course words not needed for your own blog - I have it listed on my own 'blog list' and check it daily, and hope my readers are also. I really enjoy what you posts. Thank you again.

  3. I visited and read, and visited her other blog, as well, and left comments in both places.

    Thanks for the recommendation.
