  8. Hi Melanie. My name is Susi and I am a straggler from Cupid's Charm's Beautiful Blogging party. I was very sick at the time and had surgery so I am now visiting the blogs I missed. I have thoroughly enjoyed your blog. I actually fell asleep reading it last night it is so delightful. I look forward to following your blog since I share many of the same interests. Hope you are having a great weekend.
