I would like to give a shout out to some new blogging friends that I have made recently. Whether just starting out or old timers, they are new friends to me and folks that deserve a little love. (Don’t we all).
Angie, who is a loyal reader of mine and shares my passion for Paris, wrote to me and told me that I had inspired her to start her own blog. I can’t even begin to tell you how that made me feel. Words can’t even describe it. It is so nice to be told you are inspiring. You can check out her latest trip on her new blog, My life Today.
Smokeybones, (I love that name) is a retired Navy man and he started a blog full of world cultural do’s and dont’s. Great tips for traveling somewhere unfamiliar.
Janie over at Panini Girl, shares my passion for Italy, cooking and all things Italian. Visit her for pictures, stories and lots of Italian cookin’.
And last but not least, Geggie. Her blog is called So… what else, what else, what else? How clever. She kinda talks about everything, and she is funny. She is currently running a contest (you know how I love contests) over at her blog. A nice little pay it forward ditty, with Burt’s Bees products and a $25 donation to the charity of your choice. How cool is that? Head on over and check it out. And if you do, please tell her I sent you!
Happy Reading!
