Taking a Break


Hello, Friends, I wanted to let you know that I am taking 
a short break!  Life is catching up with me and there is
never enough time in the day!

I really wish I was with this chubby kitty hanging out 
in what looks like, a charming little town. 
(Image taken from the web)

No, instead, I am just keeping ahead of things here with the 
gardens and home projects - nothing glamorous,
 just things like washing the deck chairs
 and giving them a new coat of paint - and the never ending
organizing that goes with managing a life. 
Plus, I am planning a party for my daughter's birthday,
 and I am time strapped. 

So, I apologize for my absence and hope to be back soon!
Thank you for your sweet visits and kind friendship! 

xoxo

May the roof above us never fall in -
May the friends gathered below never fall out. 

Irish Prayer

xoxo

  33. Dearest Karen,
    Well, here I am back after a hiatus of 7 days... It was impossible to manage it otherwise. But I have done the MEGA job of scanning all 36 of our photo albums and it has given us both so much joy for going over those years again. What stuck out was how hard Pieter has worked at big projects for the homes we lived in (the previous one just done and Campbell Soup made us move up north...) and so much garden work but both of us. Me in the wheelbarrow and shoveling dirt, filling wheelbarrows that Pieter did push to the area where we filled in. Fighting Mother Nature all the time and often in vain as big areas got washed away again. But we always go on. So happy for having accomplished this for Pieter to enjoy seeing on the big screen as a slide show. Who knows how much time God will grant us?
    Sending you hugs and good wishes for your ever returning projects. Keeping up a place like yours is hard work.
    Blessings,
    Mariette

  36. You are a polite blogger. I take a break and no one ever gets a heads up. LOL.
