TREASURE - A BLOGALONG POST

For my many Blogfriends who will wonder what on earth this is all about.......I can feel you thinking it.........BLOGALONG????????? What is that!!!! Well a quick explanation before I start the post properly. There is a group called Bloggersparadise who cater especially for newbies like me. So often I found that if I went onto the Google help group for Bloggers that the answers were way over my head or I was directed to a site which as far as I was concerned was written in Martian(a language I'm not particularly au fait with!). Anyway Bloggersparadise seem to be able to spell things out quite clearly in words that even I can understand. One of the members had an idea; maybe all the members could once a month write a post on one particular topic; January's topic is TREASURE; it's going to be interesting to see how we all tackle the subject in different ways. Well enough waffling....Here's my post!

***************************************************

There are so many things in life we treasure; our husbands, wives, children, memories, that new sports car, our Beatles autograph collection....and on ....and on .......................and of course I treasure all these things with no hint of denial.......well except for the sports car and autograph collection....which I don't have but would definitely treasure if I did!!! And as an avid gardener I treasure every plant in in our garden...this all goes without saying. This post isn't going to be about any of those things though.........this is going to be about a treasure - well in fact treasureS (plural)- that I've only had for a few months. Can something I've only had for such a short time be considered TREASURE?.. I hear you ask. Oh Yes! most assuredly so. Do you want to know what it/they are? Haven't you guessed yet?...... NO????...... I'd better tell you then.

My treasures are YOU!! .................. That's right you there; THE READER; THE BLOG VISITOR.................................. The person who has come into my little world to share a part of my life. The person who has given me such pride with your comments about the garden and my silly little stories. You; the ones who have been on to my other blogs. You: the ones who visit Mick and I on "There are a million stories" and give your support when I'm feeling down and had a hard day. You; who laugh and smile with me when things have gone well. You; who are my companions on-line, my listening ears, my sounding posts. How fitting that my first Blogalong post should be dedicated to you.
