Kathy, this is such a great list and great idea that you're sharing.  It's often hard to find all the little diamonds out there in AR land.

Morgan- Hope you enjoy the posts- Check out Ellen's today for another clue.

Pat- Again... I have to credit you with getting me started.  I still look forward to your weekly favorites on Sunday!

Steven- I do try to keep it varied.  There are a several here who could be on it every week.

Tammie- oh, I know what you mean.  I've found myself on AR til way after midnight.

Bob- If you are missing Picnik, be sure to read Gayle's post about Ribbit.  You can sign up now and will be notified when it's up and running.

Myrl- hope your week is getting off to a good start.  I love the hunt for these blogs.

Gita- you're not alone.  Who could read every post here???

Bill- thank you sir!!!

David- I can't wait to try to guess the AR mystery from Ellen's post.,

Kristine- there are some days when I may get through 15 and others that I'll read 20 or 30 or more.  I don't leave a comment on each one because I don't have the time and sometimes I just don't have anything to add.  

Linda- if you love dogs, bring a hankie and read Maria's.  And, don't forget Ellen's AR mystery. 

Jason- I miss seeing Michael every morning around the Rain but I'm just glad to have him when we get him.
