A topic, which never grows old...... ,-)

How we interact in social media???  The topic never grows old.  Because there are always new forms of social media, to become enamored of.  And someone is always saying, that blogging is dying.  Etc.  Etc.  Etc.
~~~
The only forms I am in, are blogging and IG.  And I do see the lure and fun, of IG.  A quick picture...  A bit about it..  Maybe just Good Morning, or Good Night...  And you are posted.
~~~
Then you visit your lovely IG-found-friends, and click on "Like".  Or click on "Like" and also leave a short little "comment", and your IG time is done.  Quick, easy, covering all the bases of interaction, in social media.  It is a nice place.  
But for me, thoughts and words (and a couple of pretty pictures), have always been my first love.  Blogging is the place, for that.  Of course you can only leave a picture and a few words, or a quote, in blogging too...  And have a post.  A quick post, by the way.   Which seems more and more the norm, of people's busy lives.  And I have been falling into that rut.  Quick.  Not daily.  So no one has to spend too much time, here.
~~~
But, if thoughts/words are my first choice, why not indulge in them?  It's my blog.  If people want to take the time, to read...  Wonderful.   If not, that's fine too.  I am not running a popularity contest here.  I am not selling anything.  Numbers should not make any difference.  Doing what I want to do, with my blog, should be the norm.
~~~
And now, what are your views on this whole topic, of interaction in social media?  You must have views.  You are  in social media right now, with reading here.  :-)  Will you please share, with us?   Please and thank you.

Violets... And a change... :-)

Our grand son cut our lawns, yesterday.  But these didn't get cut.  Because they are along a rock edging.  :-)  So glad, because,  I hate to lose my violets. 
.
We don't drink much.  We love our glass of wine, in the evening.  And our Manhattans on Saturday night.

But!  After he was in hospital, with pancreatic attack, that has to change.  There are 2 causes of pancreatic trouble .  Gall Bladder, and his has been out, for years.  And consumption of alcohol.

So.... No more drinking at all.  If he had to stop, I have stopped too.

And that is why you see the jolly bottle of Sparkling Cider above!  -grin-  Not gonna' be like wine or a Manhattan.  But it will have to do.  :-)))))  Health is more important.
