Whew!  It sure feels good to be here on the other side now.  I have a feeling that this is going to breath some fresh air into this blog.  I really appreciate all of you who crossed over with me.  It really is wonderful that I have good friends in real life, and in the blogosphere, who are interested in reading about the lives of Chips and Sweet Girl.     About 35 of you made it over here.  A few didn’t quite make it, unfortunately, and I haven’t been able to reach most of my international visitors, but I am happy for how everything worked out today.   Thank you, thank you , thank you!
