And some can subscribe to receive emails of our posts.... It's fun to imagine that we write for a specific audience who reads every one of our posts, though, isn't it, Kathleen?

I do get quite a few anonymous comments and I always assume it is because they don't have an account.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670017068516575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-85492210516729108252016-01-29T22:27:09.971-05:002016-01-29T22:27:09.971-05:00I have never kept track of followers so I don'...I have never kept track of followers so I don't know how it has affected me...
