Apologies if you are not hearing from me personally. I am having problems commenting on many blogger’s posts. I’m sure I’m not alone in this as other’s have remarked similarly. This is a real inconvenience and I’m sorry. I hope it gets rectified quickly. If you can, leave a comment. If I am allowed to respond, I will. I feel like I’m in that movie, Marooned! 😅
