Confessions Of A Blog Stalker

I prefer to call it Blog-Surfing, because the use of the word "stalker" sounds dark and, frankly, creepy. For most of you who read my blog I will assume that you have also enjoyed Kel's blog. She is the primo blogger in our family and if you have been restricted from reading with the sign in requirement please email me at gbennett325@yahoo.com and I will pass along your request to be invited (back) in.

After viewing the current photos of my incredibly cute grandkids, Naia and Gabriel (cousins to other incredibly cute grandkids Jenna and Allyson, and the ever adorable cousin on Kel's side Cassidy who are all featured in blogs of their own) I always go next to the MountainWave Dawgs and see what's up with Sara and Leo on the Cape. No Sara and Leo don't know me, we have never met, but at this point I consider them friends by blog association, whether they are aware of that or not.

Under Blogs We Read on Sara's site there are lots of entertaining and interesting friend and family blogs. In particular I like the adventures of Reuben in Korea whose life is chronicled in the Take No Prisoners blog.

On my own list of bloggers I follow are several Quilting related blogs and on each of those sites you can also wander off into totally unknown but pleasantly entertaining blog locations.

And, for example, here is a guy's cycling blog I stumbled on by just clicking Next Blog one day! Moxam's Cycling Adventures, www.costins.blogspot.com

Most blogs offer the opportunity to Comment and I wonder what it would be like if all of us who read each others blogs thru this bloggers by association were to offer comments on all of those blogs we read? Would it feel strange and creepy? Or would it feel warm and welcoming to "introduce" ourselves to our fellow blog surfers?

Comments are welcome!

Below is one of my favorite quilts from the 2010 Road To California quilt show. Of course the photo does not do it justice but there are somewhat better ones on the website; www.road2ca.com under 2010 Showcase Winners
