Hello, friends. I will be out of the blogosphere for a bit, and hope to be back around New Year's or perhaps a little before. In the meantime, I was asked to submit a post at Retirement and Good Living (both of which I enjoy!). It would mean so much if you could go and leave a comment on it. You can find it HERE.
And if I don't see you before, let me wish you a blessed, merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season! Stay warm, too!
I'll miss you and I shall click on HERE immediately to leave a nice comment.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie

DeleteI left a comment on the site, Shelly. It did not immediately appear and I hope it wasn't lost. Meantime, I want to thank you for letting us know you'll be taking a break from blogging, a timely and considerate decision on your part in light of Sush's latest post. Needless to say I will miss your blog stories and your comments. Please take good care of yourself in the weeks ahead. I wish you and your family a joyous Christmas, dear friend!
ReplyDeleteI tried a second time to post a comment and so far there's nothing. This same thing happened recently on a site where Bouncin' Barb was published. I hope one or both of my comments show up eventually, Shelly.
DeleteShady: Thank you!
DeleteShady: And thank you for trying- I don't know what's wrong with the site, but it has been difficult for others, too~
DeleteEnjoy yourself Shelly and Merry Christmas to you also if you are not back. Hug B
