I’ve often stated, “Sometimes life gets in the way of blogging.”
This is one of those times. Besides working around personal plans, we have a high-priority family situation requiring time and effort: helping an elderly aunt with some important facets of her life. The tough part is being separated by 3+ hours of driving. Timing is not good from our end – but hey – one must do what one has to do.
Time away from here should be 4-8 weeks. I want the bloggers here to know about my absence from posting, so this is my way of saying thanks for caring and all is well with us.
To send you into an unexpected break, here’s a new one from The Piano Guys … and its title is fitting for this post. See you upon my return. In the words of Garrison Keillor, Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
Oh, my dear friend, “Sometimes life gets in the way of blogging”, don’t I know! I am going to miss you but, life and family comes first [well, obviously!]. I wish you times as ‘smooth’ as possible and …patience, my friend. Sending you some greek sun rays to take with you and …yamas, to your comeback!

Marina,
Many thanks! … and the Greek sun feels great today! 🙂 … We are confident that all will go well … the question is how long will it take because of the distance involved. Yamas! … and time will fly by.

Thanks for the support. Although the distance for the “workers” is not convenient, at least she is letting us be involved … so this is a good thing.

These challenges are never fun, but at least she is letting us be involved. She had no kids, so 2 nieces and their hubbies are leading the charge. So far, so good.

Thanks for the support and kind words. The family is small, so that (along with the distance involved) makes the task more daunting.
