Important News

 Hello dear friends, I will make my posts on Mondays, on a weekly basis, as I have already mentioned but I really need to post this so that you are all aware of what is happening right now.

First and foremost I wish to thank you all so much for your visits and comments, it really means a lot to me.

My old blog was entitled Linda's Peaceful Place. I had this blog for approximately 5 to 7 years. At that time I had a computer and approximately 800 plus followers which I was and still am extremely grateful for. At the latter part of 2017 I had no computer...and still don't. I do plan to get one soon, though. In the meantime and since I have a cellphone now and only have had this cell for less than a year I wanted to go back to blogging, which I have really missed. I also miss all of you kind 😇 people from way back then so since I lost my last blog due to the amount of time that has lapsed I decided to start afresh...and here I am. Now that you all know who I am, there was a fellow blogger...his name is Lowell and he had an Ocala blog. I remember him and I actually found his blog today but he hasn't posted since 2019. I noticed that he mentioned he had health problems. Do any of you know what happened to him?

I have added a gadget for those who wish to follow my blog but it is at the bottom of my blog...not where I want it to be, but it is there.

I wanted to have this followers button more visibly on the upper right side of my blog but since I am still in this learning curve, I am unable to do it, at least so far. As well, my blog looks a but cluttered and a couple of things...links or gadgets appear twice instead of once.

I want to thank you all for your patience and I really appreciate ❤️ you being there as I try to get all of this worked out.

Much love ❤️ and warm hugs 🫂 🤗 to all of you.

  1. Laptop sounds like a good idea. I'm not sure if it's possible to use all the edit features on the phone, and even if it is, it would be easy to accidentally do something you didn't mean to do, just because the keyboard is virtual, and the screen is tiny!

    But meanwhile, woohoo, you managed to add the Follow button! ✨

  8. It's nice seeing your comments. I don't know if you go back to read replies, and I confess that I am very erratic about them. So, this was my reply to your latest.

    "I am also quite alright with winter from about December through February, and then I just wish that winter would get over itself. 😁"

  13. I read everything you said about your blog's history. I've been writing on Blogger for 13 years, I don't remember us visiting each other's blogs before. We'll fix that now.

  17. Blogging, sometimes I feel like quitting but by the next day I'm posting again. :) I do take breaks every now and then, it does help to keep me going. You mentioned Lowell, he passed away not long after his last post. He had such a wonderful personality and I still miss him.

  24. Hello Linda. I hope you manage to sort out a laptop soon to make make posting easier for you. I sometimes use my phone to make comments but never to write a new blog. You are ahead of me on that side of technology even if You are finding it hard. I look forward to visiting your new blog and send a friendly wave to you from England.

  25. well done for a) coming back to blogging.... i also returned lately after a LONG break.... and b) wow, you're blogging from a phone.... must be hard work, but good on you!!... keep up the good work

  26. Good luck to you. It is difficult posting from a cell phone and I think some things are just not possible. You have to keep it simple. I usually post from my iPad, but it is tricky. Blogger was designed for computers, and they tried to make it device-friendly but some tasks are not the same. Photos don’t post in the order that I want them to. If I didn’t know HTML, my results would be pretty messy.

  27. I was sure I'd left a comment here?
    So nice to see you back blogging.

    Wishing you a happy and peaceful weekend.

    All the best Jan

  28. Dear Linda, thank you for visiting my cats' blog. I have 2 blogs.

  29. You are new to me and blogging from your phone, which I know is hard, I did it once when my laptop died, then raced out to buy a new one right away since phone blogging was too hard. And you do this by HTML? I don't use code, have no idea how and don't think I can learn either.
    Thank you for visiting at my blog.

    1. I definitely don't know HTML and I will be glad to get a computer because the cellphone is limited in what I am able to do. Thank you so much for your visit and comment 😊

  31. Hello and welcome back!
    I often wonder why bloggers disappear, I always hope nothing bad happened. I hope all goes well with your blog. Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a great weekend.

  32. It's definitely easier to blog from a laptop or computer than a phone. Still, phone can serve us too. I sometimes read to comments and answer them on my phone, but I typically use a computer to type my posts. It's easier that way. Maybe you can use the laptop in the local library while you get a new one?
    Thank you for your visit.

  33. Hello dear Linda, it's great to have you back. I look forward to your posts... it's true that we need a blog break every now and then. The main thing is that we're coming back.
    Best wishes to you. Good luck with the laptop.
    Greetings from Viola

  37. Welcome back to blogging! I use a mini iPad. It’s easy and efficient.

  38. I'm not familiar with that particular blogger although there are quite a number of people (friends) who have disappeared from blogging; I always suspect the worst, especially if they are older and have discussed health issues. I use my laptop exclusively to blog because I don't do well with a virtual keyboard. I make so many mistakes even on a regular keyboard!
