I have been meaning to do this for some time. I absolutely LOVE getting comments on my blog posts.
When I first started out, though, I would reply to them thinking you would get an email. I get an email anytime anyone comments so assumed you would get the reply. NOT!
So, I typically don’t reply because to see it you would have to go back into that post and look at comments which I don’t think many people would do.
So, there you go…keep commenting and I will keep enjoying them!

Robin, you simply amaze me. To be in Europe by yourself is so inspiring. I can hardly eat in a restaurant by myself! I love your blog, and your recipes! Keep ’em coming.
You cannot enjoy our comments nearly as much as we enjoy getting yours. It’s neat to live vicariously (through you) on your trip. Enjoy every minute of your vacation. Aunt Monica
Quite often thinking about you then have to look at the clock, figure out your time and imagine what you are doing. Keep blogging!
