How rude, to just disappear for so many moons with no explanation.
In the beginning, I didn't realize it would be so long. I intended to start back several times, but somehow my good intentions kept getting foiled. (Evil forces, no doubt.)
Listlessness, lassitude, lethargy. Laziness! And also a bit of a detour towards a genealogical addiction.
I know, those dead relatives aren't really going anywhere. But with the living ones, well you never know. Got to prise all those deep dark family secrets out of them while they're still around. Got to motivate them to dig in the closet for those old portraits, before they're sold for a song at the estate sale (since nobody has a clue who those old moldy dudes are anymore).
Anyway. Sorry for the long absence. Hope you'll forgive me.
Hurray, you're back! Let's throw a party.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back, karen! Looking forward to the news and views from your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteWell, hey, you could share some of yor juicy dead-relative stories here! (Names changed to protect the guilt, of course.) Good to hear from you again in any case.
ReplyDeleteJust relieved to see you back in the fray!
ReplyDeleteWelcome.

ReplyDeleteSometimes life gets in the way of play. Nice to know you are alive and well!
ReplyDeleteI have almost worn my PC out checking to see if you had reappeared, so I was happily surprised tonight when I learned you were active again. Your posts were always something to look forward to.......long may you keep at it!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks y'all, sorry it took me so long to get back to it.
ReplyDeleteyay! you're back! missed you.
ReplyDeleteRichness returns to the world! Thanks for coming back.
ReplyDeleteIt may be too late for my brain to disassociate a cartoon stink bug with some unnamed tragedy. One cannot live on "niches" alone. I require balance. Welcome back.
ReplyDeletemy, how time flies.
ReplyDeleteForgiven!!! Glad to see you're back, I love reading your stuff!
ReplyDeleteGlad your back...gail
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody. Glad to see all of you again!
ReplyDeleteGoing on genealogical benders is sometimes the only way that works.
ReplyDeleteWe'd forgive you anything because we missed you, Rurality...and it's in our own self-interests not to squawk. Any one of us might need to temporarily disappear and then return.
It's good to read your posts.
