I...Oh my goodness, that is incredibly kind of you! I would absolutely love to visit, but I don't think I'll be able to this summer. For one thing, I need a new passport, but also, I leave this Thursday for almost two weeks in Brooklyn to visit my daughter. Mostly, I am going to pet sit for her, and I'm afraid that's all the time I can be away. My mom has been having some health issues and I need to be able to help her and my dad out as much as I can before I go back to work in August. But I truly appreciate your kind and generous offer, and I'll be sure to get my new passport so I'm ready next summer, in case you extend the invitation to me again! Thank you so very much!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691293013547048119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391048348570890883.post-48612159543413004302017-07-14T18:28:11.565-04:002017-07-14T18:28:11.565-04:00Rose,

Yes, it's an official invitation from one blogger to another! We are having an unusually cool, wet summer, a relief after last year's hot, dry one. Did you know that you can take the ferry from the US to Canada (departs Cape Vincent, NY)?Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550076661380685327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391048348570890883.post-12611755510077379782017-07-11T19:34:39.545-04:002017-07-11T19:34:39.545-04:00I think you're right about the job affecting o...I think you're right about the job affecting our summer. There were many years I would get some type of illness as soon as school let out, and I think it was a way for my body to force me to slow down and recover. I'm sending positive thoughts your way as you deal with your medical issue; sounds like it's going as well as it can, so I'm hoping that continues.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691293013547048119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391048348570890883.post-24109108839185900512017-07-11T19:31:48.293-04:002017-07-11T19:31:48.293-04:00Thank you; I appreciate you taking the time to rea...Thank you; I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment! We all have struggles at times in our lives, don't we? It's comforting to remember that when we begin to feel we are the only ones. I'm so looking forward to my two weeks in NYC starting next week, as I totally agree with you about a change of scenery! Take care.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691293013547048119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391048348570890883.post-83698051515790298332017-07-11T19:27:57.480-04:002017-07-11T19:27:57.480-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691293013547048119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391048348570890883.post-25721020719467017242017-07-11T16:25:43.288-04:002017-07-11T16:25:43.288-04:00I often feel like the summer days get away from me...I often feel like the summer days get away from me. I think that's part of having such an intense work year! <br />And you don't live alone; you live with Gracie! Seriously, Keith lived alone for a long time, and really fell in love with cats when one stumbled into his life. <br />I think you are right to go with the flow. If you feel like reviving Beach Fridays at some point, you will. You are still going through a huge adjustment.<br />And thanks so much for the card! It means a lot to me.Caffeine Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073716022646773106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391048348570890883.post-69614952154602535522017-07-10T17:50:18.994-04:002017-07-10T17:50:18.994-04:00Your first paragraph described my entire Winter/Sp...Your first paragraph described my entire Winter/Spring/early Summer. I completely understand the feelings you share. My problem was different than yours, as I shared over at my place, but the emotions are the same.<br /><br />My little holiday away helped me immensely; it seemed a change of scenery was just what I needed. For you, maybe changing things up would help you as well.<br /><br />I think you're making a Big Difference to your yard and home!

I agree, it...Thank you, Vera, for your suggestion. I agree, it's a good idea to have a plan. I think my concerns are really more about adjusting to being the only person responsible for everything, especially financially, after a ten year period of feeling like I had a partner, even if it turned out to be untrue. I have been single before and believe that everything will turn out okay, it's just once in a while the insecurity catches up with me. Thanks again for being so supportive and Gracie says hello!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691293013547048119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391048348570890883.post-35200358457789887002017-07-06T10:08:37.056-04:002017-07-06T10:08:37.056-04:00Love the vintage towel!

I...Love the vintage towel! And Gracie, of course.<br /><br />I've found that when I know I am going to have blocks of time I always "plan" and think about what I'm going to accomplish and then do nothing! So, maybe a lazy summer is exactly what you need. I would just take the days as they come and enjoy them.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189170045283685051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5391048348570890883.post-72261790084902376912017-07-06T09:14:59.653-04:002017-07-06T09:14:59.653-04:00Liza, I think that's definitely true.

It's wonderful that you can be spontaneous in having good friends drop by - I'm sure you're still a welcoming hostess even if things aren't planned. Gracie just makes me smile; her face is very dear!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05343220219991824077noreply@blogger.com
