| 12th October 2009 Alan G | Carpets, rugs, and floor coverings - From: Carpets Galore Connie, You are a woman of many interests. I appreciate that. While I don't share your passion for the rugs I am intrigued by the "technology" of rug making. As one of the earliest uses of algoririthms, Joseph Jaquard developed looms to turn a recipe of sorts into patterned textiles. Rugs are the ultimate of that "pattern technology." Irakli probably has a similar love for the history and how that technology ultimately lead to the algorithmic languages used in programming. So even the left brain and right brain need each other to do what they do best. Alan |
| 18th September 2009 rebecca hoang | purchase churchkhela - From: The prettiest town in Georgia I would love to purchase some churchkhela, can I do it on line? |
| 8th September 2009 Everette | Georgia - From: Connie, I enjoyed reading your blog entries for Georgia. My husband and I are starting our trip to Eastern Europe in Georgia later this month. I tried to find Sighnaghi on our map of Georgia but couldn't. Could you describe its location for me? I also have a travel blog on this website. My name is Everette Studdard. If you look at my blog, start with the oldest one. They are more interesting than some of the recent ones. I am sorry that I waited so long to do a blog. Thanks for any help, Everette |

| 10th August 2009 Dasha | - From: World's worst cubicle I think it's a great idea to publish a book. I really enjoyed reading your blogs. Dasha. |

| 6th August 2009 Betty (Calif.) | "YES" I COULD - From: Working together for good I was heartfelt when I read that literacy rate was 98%. I do believe that in working together for the GOOD, we can (could) improve literacy and transform lives. Education is important and BOOKS are the main tool to receive that information. If you do not have the resources, you cannot move further. These children are our future and if just one person steps out a lending hand, there will be many more to follow. So little is needed to make a great impact for the children's future. So, I say: "YES, I could do this". |
| 15th July 2009 Ilya | mt. Kazbegi and Alexander Kazbegi - From: Into the Caucasian Mountains Connie, as always I enjoyed the story. Great Job! However please note couple of minor corrections: 1) mt. Kazbegi or Mkinvartsveri (as it is called today) Mkinvari=glacier; Tsveri=top; is the highest in eastern Georgia and probably the 6th in height in the whole Georgia; 2) Alexander Kazbegi is a novelist. |

| 3rd July 2009 Alan G. | Beautiful - From: Travel, Georgian style Wow, who would have thunk? Your travelogue is both entertaining and the locations are wonderful. The choice of pictures makes me say, "This is a must see." The story about how everyone wanted to "help" you make the trip reminds me of my east coast relatives. But I digress. Thanks so much for this delightful way to keep in touch while you are away. Blessings on all your travel. Alan |

| 8th June 2009 Wendy Watkins-Smith | My Summer is Sounding Seriously Dull - From: How the Dutch garden Connie, I can just picture your adventures... and you definitely had me at "cheese and chocolate" too! Thanks for taking so much time to paint such beautiful verbal pictures. Wendy |

| 4th June 2009 Jessica Arai | - From: Bikes, Bikes, Bikes! I believe US is the only country that people do/can not take advantage of bicycles due to city traffic and vast land. Tokyo, Osaka, Beijing, Shanghai, Ho Chi Min City, Hanoi, and various cities in Italy and Spain were filled with bicycles and motorbikes. I have not been to Holland yet. Now I must visit after I get a job and save enough money for the trip! I love your picture of bicycles. So artistic! Looking forward to reading more of your adventure. |
| 2nd June 2009 Suzanne | Shawls! - From: Day tour of Historic Brielle I so agree with you about the wool shawls...They are great for so many things and you can never have too many. Blessings, Connie! |
| 2nd June 2009 Wendy | Delft - From: Deftly through Delft My mom and i were there at the Delft factory last April :-) And we also went to the Keukenhof gardens, which are probably closed now, but oh! were they gorgeous! Glad to see you're getting an abundant dose of beauty :-) |

| 29th May 2009 Elaine King | Thanks for this! - From: Bikes, Bikes, Bikes! Constance, I really enjoyed this post! You write well, and your observations are both amusing and vivid. We need more bike riding in Texas! Sadly, it is quite dangerous to try it here. The drivers are oblivious to you and the crosswalks and signals unreliable. I hope it will change soon. |
| 29th May 2009 Suzanne | How Fun! - From: Bikes, Bikes, Bikes! Hi Connie! I'm just now having the time to catch up on your blogs. Love, love, love the pics and it sounds as if you are having so much fun. Keep sharing--it's awesome. Blessings to you! |
