Today, I received this from WP:
Five hundred followers! And to think, I just posted a haiku about zinnias and fireworks…how serendipitous.
Thank you all. It is not my amazing and incredible talent, it is you all who gave me this tremendous milestone.
Bless you all. You cannot know how this touches me. This is why I blog – to connect, share, get to know you wonderful folks out there in the Blogosphere…Bless you all. Again, thank you.

I hope they do. I know it sounds corny, but it really touches me that I have 500+ readers. I never imagined – lil ol southern butterball me.
Jun 26, 2014 @ 23:42:20
Stop it, lady – I’m sure you are a spitfire. More like ‘ball of energy’.
Jun 26, 2014 @ 23:54:22
ha! sizzling butterball….man, I’d better get back to studying for test tomorrow or I’ll be greasy spot…
Jun 27, 2014 @ 00:04:58
Don’t let that obviously jealous idiot get under your skin. She’s so hideous, his mind physically rejected the possibility that she was interested in him.
Jun 27, 2014 @ 01:13:27
Thank you for the encouragement. he’s a good guy.
Jun 27, 2014 @ 09:03:39
Obviously, or you wouldn’t be with him.
Jun 27, 2014 @ 16:03:20
You are correct and not being one of those desperate people who just have to be with someone, this means a lot on his part. he puts up with a lot – he knows he is married to a temperamental diva-chef, anal engineer, oddball onnabugeisha and he still stays. I’m blessed with him. Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2014 13:03:40 +0000 To: thspencer51@hotmail.com
