A to Z Reflection

I have read so many great A to Z Reflections, I decided to do a very short comment. 

The creativity of so many people is astounding. I was remiss in reading lots of new blogs from the linky list. Work interferes with fun, and I'll be honest - I am lazy. When I get home from a day on the computer, I'm done with a keyboard. But I kept up with all of my faves (Annalisa, Robyn, Julie, Delores, Barbara, Al, Alex, and Hillary, and more) and enjoyed the variety of styles, characters, humor, and writing.

I am giving a special shout out to Sue McPeak for her hard work and energy.

Thanks to the whole A-to-Z coordinating team. They unite a huge blog world into an April fun frenzy. With all of the crazy in this world, this effort shows the power of the written word for good.

Special thanks to everyone for visiting Texas with me in Eye on Texas A to Z. We certainly poked into a lot of corners of this vast state.

Y'all come back now.   All the best!!

    It was great discovering you and your blog, Joanne and looking forward to learning more in the coming year about the life of a poet :)

    The best part about this? We get to "meet" so many wonderful people.
    Who, if Mrs. Penwasser ever wises up and throws me out, will let me use their couch for a night or two.
    Hopefully.

      I bet you could tour the world that way. Sounds like you've got a pit stop in Texas, but it's a big state - we'll crank up the margarita machine for you.

    I loved seeing Texas from your eyes, Joanne. Work got in the way for me too, on some of the days. Isn't the gentle return to normal blogging nice, though?

      Indeed - but my "normal" blogging seems a tad dull. I'll have to come up with some summer heat to liven things by July.

    I've enjoyed learning more about Texas, and watching your wonderful sense of humor shine through! Joanne, after all of your hard work on Old Broads, I know that you are definitely not lazy. You never give yourself enough credit. Thanks for the shout-out, and for making A to Z so much fun!

    I agree with you. I didn't join the challenge but it was fun reading entries. One letter and so many ideas and unique inputs. It was fun journeying with the challengers. :)

    Congrats!

    I loved all the Texas cities I was able to read! You comment about the power of the written word gave me chills! Or was that the ceiling fan?! Glad you had fun with the Musical Memories and hope you enjoy Caneyhead on the regularly scheduled programming. ;)
