It's my Blog Anniversary, and I'd like to thank some very grand people!

This is my one year Blog Anniversary.

There are three people and one group of people I would like to particularly thank.

The first person I'd like to thank is Elmer's Brother. Some of you know him and his blog. He asked me so many times to start a blog and I thought he was absolutely NUTS. I knew I didn't have the techie gene and I figured any woman my age who still doesn't understand how a TV works and has trouble with a DVD player shouldn't go near a blog! Finally, Elbro said "I'll build it, just tell me what you'd like." So, I did. And he did. During the process, he was patient, talented, kind and amazing. He's continued to be so with any slightest problem I might have...and there have been a few! I hope he knows how much I love blogging and how much it means to me that he enabled the whole experience. Thank you, Elbro, from the bottom of my heart. I should mention that Elbro and I share a deep faith and that's been a big blessing to me. (I got to meet Elbro's family when they came to LA for another occasion and we stole them away for a nice walk on the ocean bluffs and dinner at our house...fabulous family, wonderful time together!)

I'd also like to thank Mr. Z for his undying support, enthusiasm and encouragement. He was in on this from the beginning, too, in such good ways, and I'm so grateful. Also, I'm so happy that he's written such good pieces for us all to read and learn from, and that he's taken such beautiful scenery photographs for us to enjoy! What a great addition to geeeeeZ all of his work's been! I am really thankful to my dear husband for so many things AND his blog participation!

Third, I want to thank Priscilla. I met Priscilla at Frontpagemag. com, and since I started this blog, she's been such a wonderful addition here to the comments page, the terrific email finds she's alerted me to and, especially, Priscilla's Post. Priscilla has a great conservative mind, knows her history, writes well, and is just an all-around great thinker and person. And she LOVES this country! I couldn't be prouder than I am for having her support and faithfulness at geeeeeeZ! (Priscilla and her terrific husband live not too far from here and we've been able to meet a few times and have had great times together...!)

There's a Small Band of Brothers (and sisters...you know who you are!) who, along with Elbro, helped me get started in ways I had never expected. They welcomed me wholeheartedly and so graciously, taught me, nurtured my baby blog, and they have been here supporting me from the very, very first days and I believe that, without them, I don't know if I'd have met many of you! These are brothers and sisters to me, and I love you, guys. Thanks for so much!! I owe you a LOT and I know it, and I SO appreciate each and every one of you.

And THANK YOU, readers and commenters here.... Your blogs are fantastic and it's humbling that you come here to participate at mine. Thank you very much. You're all terrific, I honestly have a real affection for you ALL, and I hope we share many healthy, happy years of blogging together.

So...thank you, ALL! This is getting CORNY, but I couldn't help it!....It's been fun to indulge in publicly thanking all of you...but, now, back to your blogs! We have a COUNTRY TO SAVE!! God Bless America....And I thank God for all He is to all of us. We'd be nothing without him!

Love and thanks to you. Imagine if we could ALL get together somewhere and talk and laugh and solve ALL the problems of the world? I guess our blogs will just have to suffice for now, right? Well, they do far more than that already, don't they! THANK YOU for everything.

Z
