I had hoped to make it to my second anniversary on May 30, but I find that, unfortunately, I need to take an hiatus from blogging, and I need to begin now. Because I find that I cannot visit the blogs and comment in addition to posting photos on a daily basis, I need to bow out for awhile. I'll check in every once in awhile to make sure that you're behaving yourselves! I want to thank each and every one of you for the pleasure you have given me during this period of time. I have learned a great deal about many parts of the globe and have loved the friendships that have developed. For many of you I have strong feelings of affection. Thank you for sharing your lives with me!
Thanks Kate. You are a blessing to have around. And a visit from you and reading your comments are a tonic I will need from time to time.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. Have fun. Forget deadlines.
We'll miss all your wonderful photos and comments! Bye!!
ReplyDeleteWe will miss you. Good luck with what ever will be doing in the future.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to be missed. Your site is one of the first ones I noticed when I started. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteI want to think you'll be back very soon...It's in these sort of cases that I am furious about my weak English which doesn't allow me to express all I'd want to write. But I think you already guess all I am not able to say...Avec toute mon amitié.
ReplyDeleteKate, how I am going to miss you. I have loved getting to know you and sharing lives. You were one of the first blog sites I visited and your encouragement and know-how kept me going.
ReplyDeleteAs Abraham said, forget the deadlines and come and visit now and then.
Enjoy
Sue

ReplyDeleteI understand about needing a break. We'll miss your photos and stories. Hope you'll come back when you are well rested.
ReplyDeleteKate, you will be sorely missed in this community. You always have such a lot to share with us. Enjoy your break and I hope that you are able to return to us in the not to distant future.

What a great blog. I live in St. Paul but you often capture things on camera that I miss! Have a good hiatus and hope you don't give it up completely.
ReplyDeleteAu Revoir :))
ReplyDeleteKate, I hope you enjoy yourself, whatever you're busy with. It was very nice "meeting" you through the CDP family, and I hope that we'll see you again.

Oh, dear Kate! We will miss you. I'm sorry for having been so quiet myself lately, but this rotator cuff surgery has really set me back. Please do keep in touch!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck, and know that you're in my (our) thoughts!
We'll miss you but hope you will check in on us once in a while. I totally understand a need to break away from time to time.
ReplyDeleteKate, thank you for your contribution to the CDPB family.. I'll miss you.
ReplyDeleteNow this one hurts. Losing another St Paul photographer, the best city to grow up in and be a part of. You had also shown me things in St Paul I hadn't seen before through your photos. I'll be looking forward to your return and our next local breakfast club gathering.

ReplyDeletej'ai cliqué trop vite, j'avais pas encore tout traduit, je suis désolé de te voir quitter le monde des DP (j'espère temporairement). après Annie, Isabella, maintenant toi....C'était toujours un plaisir de venir chez toi et te recevoir sur nos blogs. Alors on se dit a bientôt.
ReplyDeleteI clicked too fast, I had not yet fully translated, I am sorry to see you leave the world of DP (hopefully temporarily). According to Annie, Isabella, now you .... It was always a pleasure to come to you and you receive on our blogs. So you tell soon.
You go and have a refreshing break. You'll be missed and not forgotten - I'll be checking back every so often and awaiting your return.
ReplyDeleteOh dear - first Isabella and now you. You will be SO missed, Kate, but I'm so hoping you'll come back soon. Be happy and thankyou for your great posts and comments - always so kind, so thoughtful - and for your friendship.
ReplyDeleteYou also!! That's too bad! Please, at least keep your promise to "survey" us now and then... and then one day you will be posting again! It has been such a pleasure to follow your posts! Take care ... and "à bientôt"!!
ReplyDeleteYou are one the first persons I noticed in this global community and really enjoyed what you post, always full of energy and wise words. We'll miss your images. Hasta pronto.

ReplyDeleteI read that you're tired with blogging
I can understand that, it happens sometimes to me too.
I was in California during three weeks and it was good, I'm still tired, however I was happy to meet my friend again when I came back home a week ago.
Maybe will you blog again ; maybe not, it will be your choice and your life, wich I hope will be nice.
What is sure is that it will be different fron before you mzde your blog and met lot of friends from all around the world.
Best wishes for you and your familly, Kate.

I TOTALLY get the need to sail away...after all, you've been a mainstay here for so long... you were one of my first commenters and friends. I've looked through all your blogs after you commented today, and you must still be on the high seas, and I say HOORAH and cheers with a toast and more champagne all around with you dear one!
