Yesterday was Elija13's birthday - many of you surely remember her, a long time poster who was always left delight comments! I loved hearing about her cats, her neice from across the street, her housekeeper, and all of her witty observations. I only use the past tense because it's been a while since she's posted...but I hope she is still checking in on us. I miss seeing her near daily posts very much, as well as those from NHoward, pixipixil, aussiesapphire, and many others. Our little group of commenters are a swell bunch, I say, and it means a lot to me to be a part of it. I appreciate all of you xo
I also remember them and you. Miss thelm and hope they are all well.

Bopit, I think our aussiesapphire has gone where we can't follow now. In her last post to me, she said she was fading fast and I've heard nothing in the past 2 years. She had hoped her sister would post for us or email those she corresponded with, but it could be that Margaret is also over whelmed or in poor health. Aussie was a close friend and I miss her inspiring words every day.
Pixipixll was also in poor health; she may now be n a nursing facility and unable to be online. I miss her pithy comments about the artistic contents of some of C4J's offerings..

I'm so grateful to you, 123Bunny, JAMP124 and aknan for your responses. aknan, thank you for the update on dear aussiesapphire; I'll never forget how welcoming she was when I first started commenting here. I remember the fabulous pun battles between Pixipixil and Parson Wayne, so much fun. JAMP, thanks for pointing out how we have our C4J friends to thank for creating this community! Love to you all...
