There are only so many hours in the day and I'm finding that blogging is like so much in life - there's an ebb and flow. This blog-obit exercise is giving us all a chance to express how much we appreciate our fellow genea-bloggers. Thanks for Apple's Tree!Kathryn Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508373744866161837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-44451017069773259942009-09-29T05:44:48.203-04:002009-09-29T05:44:48.203-04:00Thanks Pam!

Without you I'd probably set them aside and that would be a mistake.<br /><br />Jasia - You know that I've been Crabby Apple for awhile now. I was intentionally hard on myself - I needed a good kick in the ass!<br /><br />Greta - I have a new plan. The trick will be to force myself to implement it! If I can get one good post a week in between the letters it will be a good start.<br /><br />Donna - I haven't been such a good member of the community of late. I've skipped I don't know how many carnivals and while I have attempted to keep up with everyone else's writing I haven't bothered to break out of my reader and leave comments very often. So I really appreciate that you guys took the time to encourage me!Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-81210328647564214542009-09-26T20:35:26.587-04:002009-09-26T20:35:26.587-04:00Good one, Apple - very creative.

For the record, your blog WOULD be a big loss to the geneablogging community!<br /><br />Donna<br /><a href="http://pastprologue.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">What's Past is Prologue</a>Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07793821469331830974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-30660538676611381852009-09-26T19:26:25.785-04:002009-09-26T19:26:25.785-04:00I am one of the people who loves the letters, but ...I am one of the people who loves the letters, but I also love your regular writing. I also struggle to keep that balance; the most recent approach I have taken is to put the "meat and potatoes" (= drier research-type articles) up once a week, usually Friday, and do at least one "feature" type article a week, and any week with more than that is a good blogging week. Good luck with whatever approach you choose, but I think you do really have a faithful audience.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-31791078653220424342009-09-26T19:21:54.825-04:002009-09-26T19:21:54.825-04:00Oops!

I look forward to and love reading all the letters you transcribe. I find it fascinating to learn about life in Michigan at the turn of the century. It never gets boring for me.<br /><br />However, I must admit I do miss your other posts. You really are a terrific writer and I miss your articles. Perhaps you could begin or end each week with a letter or two and write an article or two in between letters? There's nothing that says you have to go with all one type of post or the other. What's that they say?... "everything in moderation". I think I read that in one of your letters, didn't I?Jasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561520746304048996noreply@blogger.com
