A Busy Month Ahead

I may have to take some breaks from blogging during the next three or four weeks.  We have a lot going on here at the hacienda.  :)  I have a sewing class and project to finish.  Our teacher has kindly offered to let us make up a class because we've had to miss a few due to sickness and a concert at our son's university.

The big event in our lives right now is that our son is about to graduate from college in just about three and a half weeks.

Honestly, I don't know how these four years flew by so quickly -- even faster than high school.  We love our son dearly and are very proud of him.  So, we're hoping to have a little graduation celebration here after the ceremony.

Between now and then, I'll be addressing and mailing out graduation announcements and getting our house in order.  It needs to be cleaned and de-cluttered from stem to stern.  Lots and lots to do.

I've already fallen behind in returning visits from this past weekend's blog parties.  To all of you who visited and left me such sweet comments, please forgive me.  I usually make it a point to try and acknowledge all visits and comments.  I'm not one of those bloggers who gets hundreds of comments on my posts, and I still have to work hard to return all the comments and visits.  I'm not kidding when I say I feel guilty if I don't reply to every comment; I feel like I've been really rude.  I know I miss one or two people some weeks, but not usually.  Does it worry you when you can't return visits?

Now I'm running on and on.  I don't want to totally take a break for three or four weeks.  I know it sounds weird, but when I don't blog for a week or so, it seems like I get more spam comments and some really questionable traffic sources showing up on my dashboard -- not the kind of sites I want as traffic sources.  Most of all, I hate to be away from my blog, because I love blogging (too much so sometimes).  I love my blogger friends; you're the best part of this new hobby/adventure for me.  I've decided to post when I can, and if you don't get many visits from me for a few weeks, please know that I'll be back to visiting you just as soon as possible.

See you soon.
