It’s blog party time!
I have traveled for nearly the entire month of June and have been off the grid. My last post left off in Scotland. I’ve got another teed up, but before I launch into telling you about my wild adventure abroad, I want to know what happened in your part of the world.
ONE link please or it will be sent to spam filter hell.
CHOOSE ONE Of YOUR STORIES, a poem, whatever you like, and post the link in the comments. If you leave two links, you’ll be thrown into the spam filter. That can be so embarrassing for both of us. The worst part? I usually don’t notice right away.
Meet my friends!
CLICK ON A FEW LINKS to meet other bloggers. Find out what they’ve been up to this summer.
The floors are finished. Yahoo! I’m still unpacking after a day of workers who filled my house; painters, movers, (who moved furniture and unpacked countless boxes), carpenters, and a contractor, who defied all odds and got the job done on time. I crashed out at 8:30 last night.
But I feel great today!
Make yourself at home. Everything is polished and ready for the blog party. The waxed floors will soon be filled with dancers. Table and chairs are at the ready for chatting and meeting others. If you’d like to take a stroll, by all means enjoy the gardens.
I am so glad you stopped by to chat!
Spread the word. The more the merrier. Tweet it, Facebook it, or Pin it. Others may stop by and find your blog. Some may subscribe!
I hope you consider subscribing to my blog. It’s always a Wild Ride!
Have fun and don’t forget to DANCE!

I also wonder if a fart on a cold day sends a little poof of white cloud like your breath does. Studying the subject can be tricky though so I’m just left wondering. Perhaps some day I will see a frozen fart and I can check one more thing off my list of Wonderings. :o)

Hi, I found this through Didi Oviatt’s blog…is it okay if I link something here (as I’m a new follower). And I don’t have a story I particularly want to share here (they’re kind of old) so could I link to one of my original tags or a review instead?
