Our family reunion in British Colombia was anticipated for months - it was more fun driving towards it than back home. |
Re-entry into my life after vacation was a little more hectic than I expected yesterday. Some days are just like that!
With some pre-planning, while I was on vacation I managed to publish posts on this blog all week. I was unable, however, to share these posts on Facebook and other social media sites the way that I usually do, and some of my regular readers may have missed seeing them.
Rather than write something new, today I thought I would just mention some past posts, and provide all of us a chance to catch-up ...
Topics of my blog posts over the past week included:
- a very special guest post from another blogger (8-13-14: Making the Most of Every Moment)
- summer recipes (8-7-14: The Taste of Summer
- food mysteries (8-8-14: Life's Full of Little Mysteries, Part 3)
- water safety (8-9-14: Row, Row, Row Your Rowboat)
- a performance by a music legend (8-12-14:Paul McCartney gave Montana more than "Just a Little Love")
- some of my favorite recent finds on other websites (8-6-14: Share and Tell)
- chapter 6 of my fiction story, The Papalo Cure (8-11-14: Back to the Blistering Heat, The Papalo Cure, Part 6) Note: the link to previous chapters is provided at the beginning of this post, and the Chapter 7 will be published on Monday.
- a mention of a wonderful novel I just read (8-14-14: A Family Reunion and the Orphan Train)
Montana landscape (through a typical cracked MT windshield!) We chased a rainbow for quite a few of the 800 miles we drove to get home. |
Do you have a favorite post from this blog - or a favorite moment from this summer?

Wow! I'm impressed that you managed all those posts while you were vacationing. I do one post a week and that is usually enough for me. Now I'm looking forward to reading what you've been up to on your trip.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy - thanks for commenting. You have a wonderful blog, and your recent post, "Why We Mourn the Death of Celebrities" was impressive enough to be worth at least a week of posts! I really enjoyed reading it and learned from it.
DeleteThank you Susan! I know my posts are pretty long so I really appreciate it when people tell me that it was worth reading...and yeah one a week is MORE than enough....
DeleteI can't pick one favorite because I love everything you write! So glad you're back safely from your vacation - hope you can catch your breath this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lana - I have had trouble commenting on my blog, but if is finally letting me here. It was a good weekend - and I am slowly catching up!
DeleteYou make the rest of us look like slackers! I have been having google+ problems all week and can't to my normal alias so I thought I was missing things! Glad you had a great vacation with your family. Did you get the update on the twins? Boy and girl yay!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA boy and a girl - how wonderful! And I do not make anyone look like a slacker! I realize that by posting every day I may have set the bar a little high for myself though! When I started posting on that schedule, I had no idea what else went into blogging!
DeleteAnd Rena - I cannot imagine keeping up with TWO blogs ... your energy amazes me!
DeleteYou amaze me! Catching up . . .
ReplyDeleteDiane, it is you that amazes me! I can hardly keep up with your posts - and they are all amazing! I love reading your blog.
Deletei liked your previous posts. and welcome back
ReplyDeleteThanks Xabz! I left a comment on your blog this morning. Thanks for featuring my "I'm Enough" post! What a nice surprise to see it there! I love reading Zaby's perspective - and your banner photo is beautiful! Are those dandelions?! If so - thanks for sharing that perspective!
DeleteI enjoy all your posts but the 'life's little mysteries' always give me a chuckle. Welcome back from vacation.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have liked that series! I originally only planned the three posts, but have since had ideas for a few others. Thanks for the feedback!
