See you in September …

083


…See you when the summer's through!


After a lot of thought, I have decided that the rest of my summer will be spent blog free. Well, blog free except for an occasional post on the A Primitive Place & Country Journal blog~ like the sneak peek I have to share later this week. But Behind My Red Door is going on hiatus and I won’t be posting or answering comments or commenting on other blogs until the end of summer.


Do I mean the calendar end of summer or the traditional Labor Day end of summer? I am not sure. All I know is that

I want to read more, finish some projects and relax once in awhile and so something has to give right now. It can’t and I don’t want it to be my folks, Lili, time with the rest of my family and friends or work. So blogging is one of things that can go. I hope to be back come September ~ I know it will be hard to stay away but I need to give myself this break. I am shutting off comments until I am back.

I wish you all a wonderful August! Stay safe and I will..


…see you in September, see you when the summer's through!


Warm hugs and prim blessings, Linda

oh Linda, After hearing what you have scheduled I can understand this. I finaly finished my stencil in the hall and added to the hosta bed yesterday. I am trying to complete so many little things and I do not have the calendar you do.
Enjoy!

You will be truly and sorely missed in Blogland, Linda, even if it is for only a month or so....but huge kudos to you. Lately I've been so frustrated with what I'm NOT getting done and (slowly) realizing how much time I am spending online....Sometimes we can't have it all....Regroup, reclaim, and I truly do hope we see you in September....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

Great idea...enjoy August. I know my next 4 weeks/weekends are busy... Rodeos to go see, chamber of commerce help, a good antique fair and a whole lot of house stuff that didn't get done because of the heat.

See you soon!!! Have a great few weeks "off."

redesigngal said...

Linda: I, too, will miss you but will continue to check out Behind My Red Door as I love your (older) posts and of course your pictures. Without planning, I, too, seem to have taken an "unannounced" break...hasn't been a lot to write about but maybe I will get it together soon. Enjoy your "blog free" time and we will welcome you back in your Favorite Season.
Prim Hugs, Joy

Hi, Linda,
Enjoy your time off. It seems that after retirement, life gets busier, especially wth elder and child care. So relax, tweak to your heart's content, but above all, take care of yourself. See you in September! Hugs, Debra
