I felt like adding some color. lol!
I wanted to tell you in advance, during the first two weeks of June, I may not be responding as much as I usually do. My children finish with school on June 6th. We have a tradition that on the last day of school, we pick them up at the bus stop and head to camp. Beacause this is meant to be quality family time, I won't be on the computer as much as usual. I'll probably only log on once or twice a day. I usually choose to do that when the boys go fishing. I don't go along because I am no help to them. I won't touch worms or fish and I am wary of being near that many people swinging hooks around. This does not mean that your comments are not important to me or that I won't respond. It just might take me longer than usual to do so. I didn't want anyone to worry!
Although we don't actually go until the 6th. I am busy planning, shopping, and packing in reparation for our trip. Also, June 4th is a special day for me. :-) It is my 19th wedding anniversary!
I just wanted to apologize in advance if it takes me awhile to respond. Please don't let this stop you from commenting. The CIG will still be going strong.There are no changes this month! I may be entering some of the posts in advance though. I hope it doesn't cause too much confusion.

Don't worry, we all deserves some holidays and you did a lot recently so family time is really something you should enjoy^^
ReplyDeleteYou told us in advance so we won't worry and thus no need for you to worry either ^^ and the comment crew can fill in while you enjoy some time for yourself too^^
so far no holidays scheduled for me, though it could become doctor order since i won't have any result until next week,so i will be there and i will try to come often to comment and answer if i can ( and i'm sure teh crew living in the USA will fill the time when it will be night here^^)
so take the time to prepare everything, to have a magical 4th of june and we will be there when you can of when you return no problem!
Thanks Miki. I knew I could count on you. I'll keep my fingers crossed for good results. Please send me an email and let me know how it goes or even if you need to talk. I will check them daily. :-)
Deletei will let you know but don't worry so far it's only very bothering it can be very dangerous if that lasts but it's only 3weeks so no worries at the moment i'm still well in general and as long as i stay positive it should work^^
DeleteYou just take care of yourself Miki! We're here for you when you need us. :)
Deletethank you a lot!
DeleteI cannot seem to do this.

I don't know what you need help with. I'm guessing that perhaps it's your browser. Try visiting while using Mozilla Firefox. I hope this helps. :-)
DeleteIts all good! You deserve a break and family always comes first! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for being understanding. Family does come first but I've come to think of my comment crew as a family of sorts too. :-)
Deleteit's really kind but you can have the part time guard you know^^ it's not because you leave us for a few days that we will feel unloved ( even less when we are informed) so you can go in peace
Deletevampedchik and me ( and other i'm sure) will take care of the house blog
:-) I know It will be in very good hands. Thank you!
DeleteWe've got your back! and we promise not to throw any parties while your gone! ;)
Deletelol! I'll tell you what my Grandma always told me ~ If you can't be good, be careful. Have fun just don't do anything I wouldn't do. :D
Deleteyour grandma knew how to get to the essential^^,i wish mine would have been so supportive
DeleteMy Grandma was great but she died from cancer when I was in my early teens. I didn't appreciate her near as much as I should have.
DeleteMine actually passed last year. You would have loved her. She had a wicked sense of humor and loved to read romance books. :) You really do learn after their gone how much they impacted you. And no more sad you go have fun camping! :D
DeleteYes Maam! :-)
DeleteHave fun with your boys. I have 6 kiddos as well. My oldest daughter is getting married in July and the youngest keeps me busy. He's 8 months.
ReplyDeleteI admire you for camping because I like my modern facilities too much to camp :)
Lori
lol! it isn't all that primitive. There are fully functional bathrooms (no outhouses here!) with showers and we have electric. The boys are happy. They ride their bikes, fish, and we go swimming. Add in the time spent around the campfire and I wouldn't trade it. It is peaceful (mostly) and very scenic. :D
DeleteI had the same reaction as you the first time my husband suggested it though!
Best wishes that all goes well for the wedding. I hope your daughter is as happy in her marriage as I am in mine. Everyone should be so blessed to have a wonderful marriage.
Congratulations on your 19th wedding anniversary! Relax and have a great time on your camping trip.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm sure we will.
Delete+JMJ+
ReplyDeleteYour family tradition sounds wonderful! =D I hope you have a great time.
For a while, I've been wanting to do something similar but a little less rustic. ;-) It would be nice to rent a small cottage out in the country for a week or so, and to take hikes in the hills or ride bikes along the paths. =)
Thank you. I'm sure we'll enjoy it. :D
DeleteI hope you get to do that it is very peaceful and can be serene. There's nothing quite like it.
Enjoy the time with your family. The little ones grow up so fast.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I went camping a few weeks ago. First time in ages. It was so relaxing.
Enjoy.
Yes it is relaxing and I am enjoying it. :-)
DeleteBrenda, I just wanted to thank you for hosting my book The Auction today. I look forward to working hard to see if I can write something that might me a little less predictable! LOL have a great vacation and congrats on your anniversary! Lyn Austin
ReplyDeleteThanks Lyn. :-) It wasn't so predictable that you need to work on it. It's probably just because I read so many books. :-)
DeleteHope you have fun or had fun camping. :-) My kids use to camp regularly with scouts and have LOTS of stories that I love to hear usually involving fire. Cringe..... Hope to read much more about books and fun! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. My boys were in the scouts for awhile too. They like camping as a family much better and then I don't miss them. :-)
Deletethe same goes for me with the worms thing..they are too 'wormy' for my eyes :D
ReplyDeletelol!
DeleteHope you are enjoying your time at camp. My idea of camping is a Holiday Inn WITHOUT a swimming pool. :)
ReplyDeletelol! Yeah, you wouldn't like camping with us.
DeleteThanks for the giveaway. Everyone deserves a quality time with our families. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I agree. Too bad more people don't put more effort into family time!
DeleteEnjoy the time with your family. They always come first. It's what I'm sure makes you a better person and wonderful writer!
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog and look forward to getting to know you and reading and commenting as well.
