I don't know how to maintain (and possibly even increase this wonderful connection) it all if I choose to restrict my time on the computer.

I so want to maintain that special connection.<br /><br />When our lives are busy and then we add in special occasions (graduations, responsibilities at local fairs, a huge garden, computer malfunctions, new animals, etc.) and all seems to go to pot. And not necessarily into a good pot!

I used to use my computer too much, out of either boredom or procrastination. Alex too. It makes you get into a rut of laziness at times, at least we realized that so we use the computers much less. Winter though, that's a different story, I don't mind being online more than usual because we don't have too much to do in the winters around here, being homebodies and not quite settled down. I use the computer A LOT for recipes and general information, for that I find it a wonderful tool!<br /><br />But in the age of technology that we are in, and the fact that most of us live away from society, a lot of our friendly communication IS though computers, and for me blogging. I do miss the contact with my blogging friends when I'm busy out in the yard and garden. I'm not too interested in "real life" friends and acquaintances, but my blogging community is full of support, friendliness, fun and lots of opportunities to learn, so I'm hooked even though it's a little less these days!!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-6907521556290471962017-06-20T11:02:06.437-05:002017-06-20T11:02:06.437-05:00Welcome back!

But then I chide myself and tell myself to go look in the hundreds of recipe books I have in my cupboard. Its the things like that that find me more productive. But on the flip side, I miss catching up on everyone's blog, "chatting" etc. Its one of those can't live with and can't live without sort of things!MrsDuncanMahoganyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530532280823055509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-72309024954314579102017-06-20T10:16:32.574-05:002017-06-20T10:16:32.574-05:00I am so relieved.

Well, it IS true that there is a whole lotta extra time without the temptation of the internet, but what a marvelous community we have.

Beginning with a beautiful grandgirl's HS graduation and wrapping with a week of judging at a local fair. I miss my blog friends and more than that feel I have to an extent deserted them. Odd how when we are isolated geographically from like minded our internet friends are our daily dose of front porch talking.
