The Loop


I'll be out of it. The loop that is. :)

We're heading out of town for the next few days. No Internet. No computer. No writing at all! Yikes!! On the positive side, we're going to be having a whole lot of fun! I think this is our only out of town trip for the summer, so we plan on concentrating completely on relaxing and enjoying.

I won't be around to respond to comments or to visit your blogs until late in the weekend or early next week. Sorry!

Hope you all have a fun few days! Anyone else have anything fun planned?

    Enjoy your Blogcation. We all deserve them. But it does make me wonder how mankind survived without the Internet for so long.

    Gosh Jemi,
    I wish I could put up a posting about being out of the loop and getting so many comments about being out of the loop.
    Heck eh, when I was out of the loop, I think folks actually were relieved to see me out of the loop.
    And please, never worry about visiting or commenting on my shy and humble blog. Seriously, just have fun and take very good care of yourself and your loved ones.
    Take care, eh.
    Gary :)
