Good Morning! Even though the sun is not up you are getting ready for work and you clicked to see this blog.

I realize there is a portion of my faithful blog readers who check this blog out very early in the day.  That is why I sometimes publish a new blog post before 4 am in the morning!  Like I did today. (YAWN)

However, I don’t know if you are reading this in your PJ’s, clothes, before you leave your house or after you get to work., or you are retired and have nothing better to do than surf the web!

I could put up a survey asking for your preferences. But most readers will just not do it for fear of being found out.  Not to worry.  I only get statistics of how many and what times my blog gets the most hits.  I know that Fridays, when I post a poem, has the lowest readers of the week.  This tells me that poetry does not interest the majority of my blog readers.  Maybe I should quit on the poems?  No, you say.  Okay, for now.

A personal photo seems to get more readers.  And when I lay out my personal feelings on a hot topic – wow the stats go way up.  So here I ask: On which “hot topics” would you like me to share my opinion?  I hope I get 7 comments from you.  Go ahead and leave a comment!

Dear Gentle Lakeview Blog Reader,

Thank you for taking the time to log on and click over to read my postings.  Sometimes I share a personal experience. Or I might find an interesting web site, joke, story, scripture, topic or photo and poem to share with you.  This is not rocket science.  You could also start your own blog and give people a window into your world.

A few, faithful, marvelous blog readers gathered at my home to share some good food and just hang out on a muggy Monday night before the storms came through.  Thanks gentle people for sharing with us at our home.  Wish more of you could be here and meet fellow Lakeview readers.  Conversation is always good and I learn lots by listening.

Tonight, before I publish for a Tuesday 4 am posting, I give a grateful shout out to: Mike & Cindy, Jon & Kay, Howard & Linda, Barb, Pat, and we missed B. and N. because illness sidelined them.  Every dish and growler they brought was delicious.  Thanks!

I pray God’s peace and fullness on you all.
