Lola's Curmudgeonly Musings 
I check out blogs for 1 of 2 purposes; to find information on a subject or for pure amusement. You supply a little bit of both choices. I love your views and visit many times. With so many voices clamouring to be discovered in the blogging scene, you rise above the masses.
Why thank you. Glad to hear from you.
Well done! I hope 2011 is even better!
Thanks. I was actually pretty surprised, so I thought that I’d toot my own horn for a change.
