Happy Belated Bloggiversary Jeff!!!<br /><br />Yes, we have a spare room in the basement just waiting for ya... er, we&#39;ll just have to kick the daughter out first. But visit in the summer; our winter is as harsh as yours... and the skateboard parks will be open too. <br /><br />Daughter and I only got as far as Fargo last week, but I was thinking of you when actually contemplating a longer shopping trip... now we&#39;ll have to wait till 2010.<br /><br />Here&#39;s to many, many more years of View from the Cloud!

I&#39;ve been surrounded by them before. We all became very close that day.<br /><br />april - I was disappointed because he never replied to it.

Your blog is one that I check on often (you know, AFTER I check on Roger&#39;s blog . . . wife duties . . . ) I have been lurking here for so long, that I feel like you&#39;re family. Maybe it&#39;s because you live in MN and I have family right there in Minneapolis! Best wishes for years and years of more blogging!! Oh - and if you are brave enough to consider staying at our home (remember, we have seven children!) then you are more than welcome to! I&#39;m not sure why Roger is writing in Czechoslovakian. He is an odd one! ;-)~Jennihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03200625865014639844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-69918634144841427642009-10-22T13:25:47.336-05:002009-10-22T13:25:47.336-05:00Happy blogiversary.

I remember, too, when I started blogging and thought, &quot;But how do you get people to read your posts?&quot; Then someone stumbled across my blog and left a comment, and then I keyed into the phenomenon of &quot;blogrolling&quot;--back and forth visits, mutually gratifying.<br /><br />May you have four more years of cranking out funny posts and making all 180 of us laugh (although you&#39;ll probably be at 360 by 2013)...Jocelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03227519811818290510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-33603708760227710842009-10-22T08:54:52.623-05:002009-10-22T08:54:52.623-05:00Congratulations, Jeff! We&#39;re all glad you stuck with this blogging thing; how else would we have learned about your weirdo swimming classes?<br /><br />We&#39;ll get the spare room, er, air mattress ready for your visit. You don&#39;t mind sleeping under three Cocker Spaniels, do you? They only weigh about 35 pounds each. :)absepahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10426282204461264369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-44985540019089010482009-10-21T22:56:32.881-05:002009-10-21T22:56:32.881-05:00roger - Sometimes you don&#39;t post very often and other times you post like 9 times a day. You&#39;re kind of eclectic that way. ;-) Oh, and I hope that foreign comment is something nice, because I can&#39;t read Czechoslovakian. <br /><br />leeuna - I always thought people hated it when you left the lid up. Or is that the seat? I can never get that straight.<br /><br />lisa - Aw shucks... just when I thought I had my very first stalker, you had to go get all honest and screw it up.Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13868852480996815442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-34071038988510994922009-10-21T21:50:08.247-05:002009-10-21T21:50:08.247-05:00About stalking you I mean...not the other stuff.Lisa @ Boondock Ramblingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11430994283914399581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-36113983458081988802009-10-21T21:49:58.416-05:002009-10-21T21:49:58.416-05:00You know I&#39;m kidding, right?Lisa @ Boondock Ramblingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11430994283914399581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-54738529243063678092009-10-21T21:49:45.310-05:002009-10-21T21:49:45.310-05:00I&#39;m a reader, but not always a commenter.

I had just past year #2 back in September, and celebrated by not posting anything for about a month, talk about counterproductive. Finally started feeling &quot;the groove&quot; again, and came down with some virus.<br /><br />I miss posting on a regular, although not everyday, schedule and hope to get back in the game, so to speak, soon.<br /><br />Mi casa es tu casa, mi amigo.Rogerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01831602215904873587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-21788036688479160142009-10-21T09:28:03.213-05:002009-10-21T09:28:03.213-05:00sis - Thanks for all your sister support over the years. You&#39;ve always been there to encourage me... even though you didn&#39;t really have a choice.<br /><br />michelle - And I expect a yummy meal the next time I roll through tropical Chicago too!<br /><br />heather - That&#39;s ok. Your bedroom will be fine. You and Craig can sleep on the couch.<br /><br />yellojkt - Thanks, you&#39;re one of my original gang. I think I picked up my first batch of readers from Dave.<br /><br />mom - Holy cow... that&#39;s a lot of pressure mom. ;-)<br /><br />elizabeth - I think one of my posts became untethered and floated up to Alaska and landed in your back yard. Something like that.<br /><br />chris c - Excellent! I&#39;ve always wanted to go to southern NH. MUCH nicer than that slummy nnw NH.<br /><br />janna - See, that&#39;s the sacrifice of a true friend. Thanks Janna!<br /><br />thewordwire - Thanks! I&#39;ve never been accused of &quot;sticking it out&quot; before. Well, at least I&#39;ve never gotten caught for it.<br /><br />dan - Who are you again?<br /><br />idaho dad - Don&#39;t laugh. I&#39;ve heard many stories of people having their posts ripped off and republished word for word by someone else. In fact, both Kathy and Dave2 have experienced this. <br /><br />dave2 - Thanks Dave. You&#39;re one of the handful of bloggers I know who have been blogging longer than me. Hell, longer than everybody! I think your blog was one of the very first I started following and commenting on. And like I told Yellojkt, I picked up a LOT of new friends from your place. <br /><br />jd - Sure, let me grab my cane and hobble over to my rocker. Once upon a time, there was a crazy woman with BIG hair who like to go to nudest camps... <br />(more to come)Jeffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13868852480996815442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11803058.post-1051111543872843622009-10-21T07:45:08.100-05:002009-10-21T07:45:08.100-05:00Happy Blog-o-versary!<br /><br />Four years is definitely a long time in this biz.
