It’s Thanksgiving Day in the USA. I have much to be thankful for. The most important of them all, is the quality of my relationships right now. My husband, my family, my friends, are all top notch people who give at least as much as they receive from me. I am an equal, a member of a mutual-admiration society. What else could a person really want?

Brian took this photo of the snow that came on Wednesday. It has been very warm, and when the cold hit, the humidity dumped all this on us in a very short time. I went out in the morning without gloves! How things can change, and so fast!

Well, I am getting over 100 junk spam comments per day on this weblog. Considering I get not even one true comment per day, on average, from you cool folks out there, I have chosen to turn off the comment feature. I will not be able to go in and delete hundreds of unwanted junk comments per day (as I do now), when I am on the road.

I expect that perhaps I will take the time to do research when I get back (at least I hope so). Maybe I can figure out other ways to tame the spam comments yet still allow you folks to write me by clicking on a link. For now, though, you will have to go through a little work to send me a hello. I will be disappointed at the additional slowdown that will cause my comments, but I really need to do this while I am gone.

For now, you will have to use your email program to send me a comment. Make SURE to put the word ColorJoy in the subject line so I don’t accidentally delete it (I throw away up to 400 messages a day in my email program, too). Send notes to Lynn AT ColorJoy DOT com

Thanks!
