Blog Break



Dear friends,

With much reluctance, I must take a blog break.  Several years ago I had spinal surgery in my neck (a titanium plate and screws)  which has been giving me a lot of problems.   I need to take some time off to concentrate on my health,  general life matters, and  maybe even a vacation.

I  care dearly for all my blogging friends and will miss you; but will be back soon along with Potpourri Friday.   I  look forward to my return and hope that you will miss me just a teensy bit while I’m away.

Take care!
                                                                  Until next time, Honey

  157. Hi Honey, I do hope you are feeling better. You are in my prayers for your healing and restful recovery.
    Just know that your supporters are many. We miss you but we understand that each of us has to take care of our health. No one will or can do it for us.
    Prayerfully, Ginger
