Sorry for this long absence. Currently my life is filled with some minor and a few major problems. My elderly father is sick and in hospital - heart stuff. Sweet Wife is in flux. The weather sucks...its hot, which isn't a problem but I hate it none the less.
I'm tired.
Also, I've broken one of my simple promises as I haven't responded to your comments...I beg forbearance. Over the last few days I've barely glanced at this computer. Perhaps it's the holidays, not sure, but my mind is cluttered and my patience short.
I sincerely hope all of you are well, warm and well fed.
Please, take care.
Stephen
Sorry to hear about your Dad. I hope he is on the mend. Take care of yourself and your family - you and they are your first priorities. Hugs and prayers, Stephen.
ReplyDeleteTake care. Deal with what you have to deal with. We'll be here when you are back.
ReplyDeleteChickenmom, Sixbears....thanks. Sorry it's taken so very long to answer.
DeleteLife happens - drive on.
ReplyDeleteFamily comes first. Blogging is a sideshow.
ReplyDeleteWell Seasoned Fool, PP, thanks to you both...indeed, life happens and blogging is a sideshow.
DeleteNo worries. We've all been there at one time or other. Take care of the important things and update us when you can.
ReplyDeleteWe certainly understand. Prayers for your dad, Sweet Wife and you. Sending you a dusting of snow. 1/4" last night and the wind is blowing it eastward. Take care.

Daddy, hobo, thanks to you both. Hobo, miss you. Take care.
DeleteTake care Stephen. I agree with Preppie. Blogs are just a sideshow. I just about took the entire summer and fall off from my blog. Just didn't have much to say. A few loyal readers hung in there and waited for me.
ReplyDeletesweet one - you know that we all understand! i hope your Dad is feeling better and getting proper medical attention. please send our best to him, and of course, to Sweet Wife. come back when you feel that your family matters have been attended to and you aren't feeling so lacklustre. we'll all still be here!
ReplyDeleteyour friend,
kymber
Mommy Bear, kymber...you both know I love 'ya...thanks, my sweet friends.
DeleteSometimes we all just need a break from the interwebs. We will be here when you get back. Prayers going up for your father and your family.
ReplyDeleteTake Care,

Take care of yourself both in mind and soul. Blogging is a sideline but sometime therapeutic too. My best wishes go out for you and yours.
ReplyDeleteSci, Dean...thanks to you both and God bless.
DeleteNo worries, Stephen - and what they've all said, above. All that stuff going on around you? That's life. This? It's just blogging.
ReplyDeleteTake your time, my friend, and be well. May you have peace in all your going out & coming in, today and everyday.
Stephen,
ReplyDeleteI hope SW settles down and everything is okay. Sending prayers for you, SW, and your father.
Rev., Sandy....thank you each so very much.
DeleteTake your time and take care of your family. My Dad has been in the hospital due to a stroke and we had the funeral today for Sweet Things Dad. Sorrow seems to come in bunches doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteHey, family first. Take the time you need; half of us out here in internet-land are in the same too-busy boat until the end of the year, so don't go feeling guilty on our account.
ReplyDeleteHope things get better soon for you, SW, and your father.
Double, Wing....thank you both so very much...better now.
DeleteDo what you gotta Stephen. Real life is MORE important that the computer. We'll be around.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone feels like you have to be on here every day. A blog is like the telephone, just because it rings doesn't mean you have to respond .
ReplyDeleteHope things get better, sounds like you have a lot to juggle right now.
Thanks, Guys....sorry it's taken so long to answer.
DeleteGood to see you back. It hit 84 degrees here today and I couldn't be happier.
ReplyDeleteI'm dreaming of a green Christmas...
Stephen, do what you need to do. You know that all of us have got your back. And that you are family. Our prayers to you, sweet wife and your dad.
ReplyDeleteThanks, David and Flier....
DeleteAgain, to all my friends, I'm so very sorry it's taken me ages to answer your nice comments. God bless.
