Exclamation I'll be offline for a while...

Hello my Friends!

Just to let you know that I'll be offline for the next two/three weeks. (My husband might be online in my absence!). I am going to spend a fortnight at a convent retreat for my observance of Lent. No laptop, no cell phone, no exterior communication, no watch, no camera, no makeup, no books... Just pen and paper... Paradise in one way! The only concession is for my dietary requirements.

So, be good to each other, no cyber fighting, and keep those wonderful questions and wow moments coming - I know already I can't wait to read them upon my return!

Keep well and I'll be in touch!
Cheers!
Vim

Thank you Jim!
Always there, near me!
I still can't open your blog, no matter what I do nor the fact that I have contacted Admin!
I'll hope you'll have added many new threads 'til my return!
Cheers!
Vim

Have a good time, Vim!

Two weeks of nothing but writing? Sounds like heaven! (Though I would really be at a loss without my laptop--you're a stronger human than me!)

Can't wait to hear about it when you return!

-Mike

Thanks Mike!
This retreat comes with very good timing, 8 months after my Mother died...
I have had time to think and now look forward to writing it all down! (Pencil, pencil sharpener, rubber...)
Keep well,
Vim
