It has been a delightful journey, but life moves on, I keep getting busier, and it seems like the wisest move is to cut some things out. Including, regretfully, this blog. It has been wonderful getting to know so many of you, and I thank you for your interest and loyalty. Blessings to you all and I hope we meet again someday, somehow, somewhere.
Quote of the Day:
"April fools!"
(You didn't really think I could overcome my addiction to blogging that easily, did you??)
Dorcas! You worried me for a little bit there. You are the only blogger that I read. It is fun going on line and seeing what you have for that day. Some days you have nothing, but I know you will the next time. Thank you for not really stopping.

I was about to delete this from my bookmarks when I happened to scroll down...you are a very bad person!!!
ReplyDeleteOMW - I believed you and regretted it didn't work for me to leave a comment yesterdday. I read, give, and recommend your books. I'm subscribed to you.
ReplyDeleteJust in case you are quitting tomorrow, I wanted to tell you that any mom with family and fame that can still have fun with and blog about her children after having two books published, is a good mom.

Sel wah net shay! Sel ich dih ein shlang shicka?
ReplyDeleteI sat with my mouth open for an instant, wondering "what in the world!" I'm certainly glad you are joking. I enjoy your posts and check almost every day to see if there's a new update. Keep it up! (Connie in WI)
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! YOU HAD ME!!! Totally forgot about the day and I read that and nearly cried OH NO!!!
ReplyDeleteSHAME ON YOU -- I haven't been gotten on April Fools for a very long time!
:-)
You're sick. Totally sick.
ReplyDeleteAnd since your sickness brought me a chuckle, I offer you a few chuckles in return. :)

You had me there for a couple. I was thinking, I finally made the leap to sign up for this crazy thing and now you want to quit?!?!
ReplyDeleteSigh...
You raised my hopes. Then dashed them. I mentally tipped my hat. Then undid the motion.

Dorcas, you...you...you...(I want to say, "You dirty dog!",) but then, I'm not as mean as I sound, either! PC in VA
ReplyDeleteThat was a very, very "mean" April Fool's Day joke to play on us--LOL!! Loved it!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy heart sank clear down to my shoes, I was slooowly moving down to the quote of the day thinking it was the last one I'd get to read so I should savor it...drat! I'm so gullible I'm glad this day only comes once a year. My poor heart can't take the stress.
ReplyDeleteOh Sweetness! That was great! As a new reader you almost had me!
ReplyDelete:):)
ReplyDeletei wanted to comment on the last post but it wasn't working so i'll put the comment on this one.
I really admire Ben's priorities.
sorry, that was me. forgot to sign it.

I agree with "justme". My heart absolutely sank to my knees! I'm so relieved that it was just a joke.
ReplyDeleteThe scale of how wrong that was is directly proportionate to the level of sadness with which your fanbase reacts. Well played, but SHEM DICH. Shem dich GOOT for making me feel sad for nothing. :o)
ReplyDeleteSince I realize this was a low-down and dirty way to ask for comments, let me admit that I hope you are a great-grandma before you decide to throw in the towel.
The feeling that I got when I read that was not very good. I do hope your kiddies pulled a good one on you.
ReplyDeleteOh no. Oh no. Oh no. .... And then I was grateful.

I'm with Margaret...du bisht veesht! I had another woman do this for real, so I know it's possible. But it leaves a great void in the lives of the fan base! ~ribbit98
ReplyDeleteoooh you're mean LOL... 2 days after April Fools Day before I got to read this, and I STILL fell for it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you haven't stopped writing! I've been following your blog since seeing you in Lancaster County this past fall. (Good's Publishing event)
