I know I have said it in previous comments... but I am so glad you came back. Blogging has changed for me too. I really just blog about whatever I'm into currently and I just don't worry about it anymore. It is just an on line journal for me now. I go to some of the big blogs and look, but rarely comment anymore. I found that I would spend so much time leaving comments and then they would NEVER reciprocate. That kind of seemed like bad manners to me. So that is why I stopped commenting so much. I don't post so much any more either.... There is so much going on in my life but it isn't all fun and rosey. :)<br />So anyway! I love coming by and seeing what your working on! :) <br />~Liz Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02972097935004547969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-56906592304998235902015-06-10T15:33:04.431-07:002015-06-10T15:33:04.431-07:00It was a whole different world wasn't it?

I hate it! ;) <br /><br />I often find myself wondering about some of the bloggers from back in the day and wondering what they are doing.Jen Kershnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128661586028201160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-54204619967231924692015-06-09T14:08:40.055-07:002015-06-09T14:08:40.055-07:00I had to take down "outside" third party...I had to take down "outside" third party links from my sidebar about a year ago as sadly somewhere one of them had a virus attached to them and it was showing up as a warning on my blog. When people told me they were getting that warning I took them all off and that warning never appeared again in visitors virus programs, so I am leery of putting things that aren't my own, up again. My blog needs a lot of work as far as making it look professional and pretty, but I'm too cheap to pay for it--lol!!! I'm content to leave it "as is" and keep plodding away on it once a week. I didn't want to spend too much time of the computer these days --too much to do with family and around the house and my new stateiI lost a few friends to cancer the past few years and I realize life is too darn short!! <br /><br />I do love to hear from old blog friends and much to my delight I found some on facebook and instagram!<br /><br />Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-55347590339482853552015-06-09T07:58:58.373-07:002015-06-09T07:58:58.373-07:00Hi Rue, so nice to hear from you!

Glad to see that you are back and I hope you're enjoying blogging. Yes, things have changed - like night and day really. Back then the big blogs were Daisy Cottage and Cherry Hill Cottage - those are gone. It's all very very different now. But I'm grateful that my blog allows me to still stay home and make money (so that's a good change). I see lots of familiar names in the comments - this is so fun - it's like a renunion! :)Manuela@A Cultivated Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282273791971364124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-20869093390912625482015-06-08T21:54:35.074-07:002015-06-08T21:54:35.074-07:00Hello dear girl,

It seems we all miss the beginning years of blogland before it all became so competitive and stressful keeping up. It was such a wonderful community and I do miss it. I am still blogging but hit and miss trying to maintain all the different streams of social media and my store. Thank you for reaching out. I have missed you.

My blog was called Coffee and a Muffin back then. I think you were showing some lovely kitchen cabinets or dining room cabinets (with lovely vintage cut designs on top, I think it was). And then your blog went private. So I never really got to know you back then. But I'm glad to be doing it now!

I love going back (when I have time - ha!) and reading some of my old posts. Some of them were actually pretty good because I was kid free and had time to THINK about what I was writing. I still write on the fly and hope whatever I write is good enough. After all, it is my blog and people take it or leave it. It started out as an outlet for me to get over an emotional loss and I'm still blogging!Jillian's Bella Rosa Antiqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04325276255189392605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-295658047843198072015-06-08T11:08:27.517-07:002015-06-08T11:08:27.517-07:00Ladies... thank you so very much!

When I started blogging in January 2009,...Hi Rue, <br /><br />When I started blogging in January 2009, I'm not sure I even knew what a blog was but I loved it and jumped in with both feet. I very much remember your old and dear blog.<br /><br />Blogging changed so much my head started spinning. The sharing and caring part moved into numbers, ads and having to have an expensive camera to take the perfect pictures. You also had to have multiple projects lined up to entertain your readers. After three and a half years....I said enough and quit.<br /><br />I returned about three months ago and decided to blog 'my way.' I post when I have something to say and I love to share bits of my home and life with my readers. I just decided one day that I don't have to fall 'into the modern day blogging world.' Amazing and I must say I am truly enjoying it once again.<br /><br />Welcome back!<br /><br />Barb Barb https://www.blogger.com/profile/03410036713000396886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514949068618443114.post-25851675520229200012015-06-07T10:39:56.343-07:002015-06-07T10:39:56.343-07:00Blogging has changed a lot since the beginning.......Blogging has changed a lot since the beginning....some bad, some good.

I ...Rue, I didn't know of your blog back then. I found you when I was reading Cozy Little House comments and so many people commented how much they missed "Rue". Then a commenter wrote that you were back and everyone rejoiced. Naturally, I had to check you and your blog out. It really made me wish I'd found you way back then. <br /><br />I have a varied taste in blogs. The first one I was addicted to The Daily Puglet. It was about, what else, a Pug and his Dalmatian brother. It was written as though the Pug was talking. I was hooked. I laughed and cried and read each days new post to my family and anyone else who would listen. Then it was gone. I was heart broken. Now I read mostly the ones that talk about their daily lives and relevant subjects. I love Cozy Little House and Mockingbird Hill Cottage and Ash Tree Cottage. I love your blog and never miss a post. Of course I'm a flat snout dog lover, so I've found "oh Melvin (and yo jake)". <br /><br />I loved your post today and will keep coming back.<br />Sandrapugsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11382863960194335627noreply@blogger.com
