Oh.ok.
I needed to read this today – feels like hearing from an old friend – witht he old man jack and seeing your car – with that cool flag – such a cool photo – and sending a blog bro hug your way
Yvette, I smiled when I saw your name pop up here! Miss you all too. Life’s been so distracting… including a wedding. 😉
oh right on – a wedding –
anyhow, I think the good news is that once blog bonds are established – we have the freedom to take even longer pauses as life comes up – ya know?
