At that time the Trevi Fountain was being restored. No water, just a 1 by 1 meter temporary square you could throw your coins in while you made your wish. And 2 meter high fences all around (with screening, so not a lot of peeking). I'm just a bit jealous that you could see a lot more Trevi Fountain than we did, even with all those people getting in the way :-)Jittinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883595228671349160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-20759646948840358342016-09-11T04:50:45.650-04:002016-09-11T04:50:45.650-04:00On reading Valerie's comment I thought I had m...On reading Valerie's comment I thought I had missed something so went back up and down your blog before giving up to carry on reading the comments. Great, you solved the mystery. No doubt Ann L will come back with some excuse that she didn't mean it in the way it was taken! Anyway, you do wonderful work and for every unwanted comment, I am sure you would generate hundreds of positive ones from you many loyal followers. Enjoy your short trip to the cabin. Hope you manage to get a good bike ride in along the Parkway.<br />LindaLinda Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020917896016648626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-33964004344389294312016-09-11T00:27:04.131-04:002016-09-11T00:27:04.131-04:00So happy to read you have a delete option and use ...So happy to read you have a delete option and use it !!!<br />I comment once in awhile, and read every blog posting <br />I hope your puppy enjoys her cabin trip too<br />Colleencolleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979234789965049533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-78275255995323350762016-09-10T22:49:11.145-04:002016-09-10T22:49:11.145-04:00I'm glad you noted that you deleted the commen...I'm glad you noted that you deleted the comment - I was beginning to think I had skipped ahead or something!

SINGLE. DAY. And my life has been beyond frantic, just as Valerie stated.<br /><br />This morning I was in a rush to get this posted and get back to filling as many book orders as humanly possible before the post office closed at noon. I misplaced ONE WORD. All I had to do was fix it by swapping IS to ARE.<br /><br />Does that really warrant overly critical comments?<br /><br />I have my own pet peeves. Like misuse of the word OF as in I should OF gone to town or I would OF fixed it if I could -- that I would notice a mile off and it just makes no sense to me how anyone can write that.<br /><br />We've all got things that trip our triggers, but I would NEVER point out "bad syntax" on anyone else's blog.<br /><br />End of story.<br /><br />Thanks for sticking up for me ladies!Bonnie K.

I no longer think this is a nuisance, I do it too. I enjoy going into the bank to cash a check. And especially enjoy it when I go into a bank out of town. We need to talk to people! And I always try to smile even if the line is long. I am glad to know someone who those things their own way. Enjoy the cabin this short weekend.Lilac Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066118671618968939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-26949364974443452012016-09-10T15:44:22.095-04:002016-09-10T15:44:22.095-04:00Bonnie, please fly right by commas about your sent...Bonnie, please fly right by commas about your sentence structure here without another thought. And you and anyone who does not want to read a lecture should fly right by the rest of my post.<br /><br />You have a very short time between trips during which you are busting your a$$ to get book orders out as quickly as you can, even putting off weekend time with the hubster to get more of them out, as if we cannot survive another week without receiving our copy, you made time for Quiltcam, and you will be working on the eagerly-awaited mystery quilt. In spite of that you take time out every morning, no matter what else is going on in your life, to write a blog post to stay in touch with those of us living vicariously through you -- as if it is your responsibility and not a generous gift.<br /><br />I proofread for court reporters. Many well-educated experts and the attorneys whose livelihood and reputation are greatly affected by their use of language regularly make atrocious errors in their sentence construction on the fly. I am sure many mornings you don't really have time to write, but you do, so I think most of us forgive and ignore when you have not taken time to go back over your on-the-fly from-the-heart blog posts to ensure we do not have suffer through errors of composition.<br /><br />I am just disappointed that anyone who came by choice to read and enjoy whatever is here, be it companionship, entertainment, travel pictures, giveaways, or whatever quilty thing is included, would do anything to discourage in any way from wanting to continue to share your life with us. Why did you go to the trouble of commenting on the error? Did you take the time to thank Bonnie for the pictures, the thoughts, the efforts?<br /><br />Off my soapbox -- for now.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807301075159043773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-29204913905720179172016-09-10T13:46:59.287-04:002016-09-10T13:46:59.287-04:00You are one busy, busy girl.

We know everyone at our post office and are lucky to have two within 5 miles (1 North and 1 South) of us that we can visit with and get help when needed for mailing problems and ideas. I am also happy to hear you are taking time to go to the cabin, have a wonderful time with whatever you choose to do, I am sure it will be great and relaxing for you!! Thanks for all you do, enjoyed Quilt Cam this week and so happy you took time out to share your time with us.gma quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953176322646919067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-68120113559120017582016-09-10T10:37:43.633-04:002016-09-10T10:37:43.633-04:00Yep, too many Tourists in that photo bomb to see t...Yep, too many Tourists in that photo bomb to see the Fountain.
