Thanks for nominating Colltales, Micheline. I’m really flattered, specially because I haven’t posted lately as often as I wish or used to. Oh well, here comes another excuse not to fold it just yet: if you’re paying attention, it’s worth my time posting whenever I have a chance. All the best.

Congratulations, Micheline, on the award. … and thank you for nominating me! It means a lot coming from you!
I was reading your questions/answers, and I had to laugh. I’m sure it’s a typo, but it sounds like you are writing this from the future, as you would like to meet Obama, even though he’s dead. (grin) 😉
Thanks again!! 🙂

tk,
I do appreciate the value of a smile. However, I should do my best not to make so many mistakes. I often have to “touch up” past blogs.
Now we are really nearing July 1st. I will be thinking of you: the blogger who keeps Canada online. You’ve no idea how pleased I was when you started posting your short blogs.

Thank you so much for the encouragement, Micheline … they are so very much appreciated! Really And I am indeed looking forward to July 1st!
I am glad to read your comment, too, Micheline. I was afraid I had insulted you. I didn’t mean to …We certainly can all make use of “touching up” previous posts; I know I’ve thought about doing that more than a dozen times.
Have a fantastic Sunday! 🙂

Thank you for writing. It’s very kind of you.
Yes, I do touch up old posts. I call it “maintainance.” For instance, I often have to reinsert images and videos because they have been removed, or insert them because they were not available when I wrote the initial blog. Blogging is quite an adventure.
Take care,
Micheline

Quite the adventure, and takes up more time than I’d anticipated when I began the blog! Still, I find WordPress great, and is way less time-consuming than maintaining my website!
I should go back, as you do. I hadn’t thought about new images … good point!
Best Sunday wishes,

Thank you Kate,
I am glad you like the questions. At first, I didn’t think I could find eleven questions. They eventually wrote themselves, as if I had little to do with them.
I thank you for your informative and lovely posts. Your pictures are well worth the visit and you are quite the storyteller! I’m impressed. Forgive me for not always reading the blogs I follow on the day they arrive, but I end up reading everything.

Dear Lou,
You most certainly deserve to be spoiled. You’ve become a cherished part of my world. When you send a comment, it makes me happy and your blogs are always delightful.
I just hope I have not burdened you. The rules can keep a blogger busy for several hours, but they allow a form a sharing and creating questions is a challenge, but you are absolutely right. They tell a little about the blogger.
Je vous souhaite une excellente semaine. J’arrive mal à croire que nous sommes déjà à la fin du mois de juin. Le temps passe à une vitesse vertigineuse.
Bises,
Micheline
