I’ve been concerned the more time that passes without new posts community members may drift away, cease checking back to see if any new posts, and focus their interest elsewhere.

I appreciate your thoughts on the TGB mystery. Apart from the particular essence that was unique to Ronni, I find I am missing the community she allowed to flourish on TGB. But as you and some of your commenters say, we will just need to wait to see what happens.<br />NinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-10759271456866783802021-06-03T12:39:47.032-07:002021-06-03T12:39:47.032-07:00Sorry for the moderating delay publishing your “te...Sorry for the moderating delay publishing your “test” but here ‘tis, so at least this went through okay as know you said you’d had problems commenting here.

So much more she had to share here about some of her ideas some elders might want to adopt for enhancing their lives in our varied settings.<br /><br />Sounds like matters may still be unsettled since RB's death which could account for the situation with TGB.

It mentioned Time Goes By and encouraged that we elders (or getting there) start a blog of our own. That was all I needed. I started Goldendaze-Ginnie and have had a fun and enlightening journey with it since then. I've met about 8 new people in person and have mourned those that we lost.

Her shoes were quite big. It would need Ronnie's dedication and that I don't think can be inherited or acquired. It needs to be a core value. Ronni had a mission, probably Autumn does not have that same one. So we wait.
