First of all, congratulations to Writes of Passage & Write Thinking reader, Kathleen (whose Blogger ID is Lane Hill House). Kathleen's name was drawn to win her choice of a book by last Monday's guests, Cara Putman and Melanie Dobson.
As for me, I'm taking a blogging break after a summer that was pretty intense, writing-wise. And it's not just a blogging break. I'm taking a vacation ... with my man. It's a car trip. Pray for us! We have never driven together anywhere that took more than four hours one way. Our first day is 14 hours of drive time, not counting stops. The good news is, I have a bunch of audiobooks that I haven't got to listen to yet. Should make it through several before we're back in Idaho.
With any luck and some good Internet connections, I'll attempt to do a little blogging over on Write Thinking and post pictures to my Facebook Page. So I hope you'll pop over to one or both and check that out.
I've arranged for some writer friends to fill my Monday slots on Writes of Passage through the 10th of September (today's guest's post will follow in an hour or so), and I know you will enjoy all of their posts and make them welcome.
So you won't worry about Poppet and Pinky (I know how passionate many of you are about pets), we've got family staying in our home who will spoil Poppet and Pinky silly while we're away. So much better than boarding them if at all possible. And don't you just love this shot of Pinky at right? She was watching the finches feeding in the tree outside my office and wanted desperately to push through blinds and glass to get to them. Intense!
See you in September.

Praying for safe travel and a wonderful time away, Robin! And that picture of Pinky is priceless. I thought maybe she was watching you drive off and leave her. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judy. Jerry and I are really looking forward to this trip. We have some fun things planned and hope to get lots of great photos. I just wish that getting ready for the trip didn't gobble up so much time and that we didn't have to play catch up for days after we get back. Sigh. But with any luck, I'll still get my needed word count written today.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your vacation! I'll definitely be praying for safe travel for you! And I don't know -- that picture of Pinky -- I think she's peering out the window meowing "Are they back yet?"
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you Robin, but so glad you're taking a much-needed break--ENJOY!! Praying for safe, pleasant travels for you and your husband. ~ Whew!! Thanks for letting us know about your pet-care arrangements *grin*. I feel so much better knowing that Princess Pinky and Poppet will be at home and well-cared for. LOVE that photo of Pinky--so typical for a kitty! Hugs, Patti Jo
ReplyDeleteI love that picture! It looks like something my cat would do, or even my niece-puppy. She loves watching the birds in the yard and many times I find her hanging off the back of the chair with her nose as close to the window as possible to watch the birds or squirrels.
ReplyDeleteHave a terific getaway! We'll miss you, though. Your poor kitty... I hope you left lots of treats and a recording ofyour voice.
