I suspect that most readers have sorted that I skew fairly left of centre, although I can feel too centrist, often, around more activist friends, if that makes sense. I'll keep your comment in mind, as it probably represents other readers as well.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-82952012295860434422015-10-23T05:15:48.777-07:002015-10-23T05:15:48.777-07:00And I've just checked out your blog and added ...And I've just checked out your blog and added it to my feed -- love your style!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-23802644406657720992015-10-23T05:09:21.466-07:002015-10-23T05:09:21.466-07:00Jeanne, this is so kind of you to say-- Thank you!...Jeanne, this is so kind of you to say-- Thank you! <br />We've never been to any of the Scandinavian countries, but I hope to someday.

Wonder what is going to happen in your country after the elections. I know that you don't talk politics in your blog, and I understand your motives, but I, for one, would be very interested in your opinions about political or social events and developments now and then.Eleonorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-33639683533067318972015-10-20T18:43:39.521-07:002015-10-20T18:43:39.521-07:00I have followed your blog for awhile now and I fin...I have followed your blog for awhile now and I find it thought-provoking and down to earth in a sophisticated way. I so resonate with your retirement musings and with your travel reflections. My husband and I just returned from 2 weeks in Oslo where we were simply living in the culture. I've done France this way before but he has not. He deserves the perspective you and I have enjoyed. Thank you for your eloquent and heart-felt posts.
