Marking an Anniversary

Dear blogging friends, this past Tuesday was the third anniversary of All Things Ruffnerian, and I'm "marking" the occasion by shutting down the computer today, and spending a week on the road.

If you recognize this gentleman, you'll know whose famous house I'll be visiting. In the meantime, I look forward to sharing images when I return, and I wish you a great week — see you soon!

      Thanks, Stefan. And you were the first person to include me on your blog roll — thanks again for that.

    Hello Mark, Have a fun time at Biltmore, and bring back lots of pictures taken with your eye for the unusual.

      Hello, Jim. I was disappointed that photography is not allowed in the Biltmore, but I'll still have lots to share!

      Dear Gina, Thank you (and I know you've said that you're jealous because you're in the middle of deadlines! Your time will come.).

    I know that you have shut down the computer and gone on your travels, but do hope that you have a great trip, and return refreshed.
    Congratulations on reaching your third anniversary - your posts are always illuminating, beautifully presented, and reveal many interesting artists, illustrators etc that I have never come across before.

      Dear Rosemary,

      Thank you for that nice comment! Part of being refreshed (for me) is to occasionally leave the computer completely behind — but the digital camera is always at hand.
