My son and I were reading his Usborne Children's Picture Atlas (great for kids if you're looking, he's only 4) and he kept asking me, "Who lives near the octopus? Who lives near the narwhal?" While I didn't know someone in every part of the world, I was excited to say I knew a few more because of this blogging community. Australia, various parts of Canada (though I can't remember from which provinces you all hail, Jemi, Elspeth, etc.), Alaska, Serbia...It was pretty amazing and not a little exciting. So, sappiness aside, I love this blog-thing!<br /><br />MicheleJournoMichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170364981958685438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-48582244282597293842010-02-23T13:00:46.606-05:002010-02-23T13:00:46.606-05:00I love this post Michele!
