I keep having to remind myself that it's not a competition. Thanks for all your efforts. One thing I've learned is that having an active blog like this takes a fair amount of work! But it is also a tremendous amount of fun.<br /><br />KarenKaren Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635855088490793965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-10597436942779464392012-02-28T12:14:29.119-05:002012-02-28T12:14:29.119-05:00Congratulations, Karen!

Faw...Carol - thanks, I really appreciate that! :-)<br /><br />Fawn - Thanks so much! :-)<br /><br />Cathy - Thanks, I'm really glad you've been enjoying my blog. :-)<br /><br />Anon - no, it wasn't humility or false modesty or anything like that. I was just very shy about mentioning my blog on Compuserve for a long time. Back when I started, I knew nothing about blogging, I didn't know of any other OUTLANDER bloggers, and the idea of saying to Diana, "I have this blog, Outlandish Observations, and it's all about, well, <i>you</i>, and your books, and yes, that means I'm taking my OUTLANDER-addiction to a whole new level, but really, I do have a life, I swear I do!" was just too much to contemplate. So I didn't talk about this blog in front of Diana until I'd built a solid following and had some confidence in what I was doing as a blogger. I'm immensely gratified to find that she enjoys it!<br /><br />KarenKaren Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635855088490793965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-2966606391412998022012-02-28T04:58:37.089-05:002012-02-28T04:58:37.089-05:00Dear Karen,
