Hey FU-friends. How the heck did it become April? I must have lost track of time or something. Or maybe it is true that the older you get the faster they blow by.
It is a fact of life that as we pass through the winter solstice and go running past the spring equinox that there is increasingly more daylight every day. Another well known equation is daylight + rain + warmer temps = the return of flora to the landscape.
This is bad for allergies (achoo!) but good for photography. And outdoor activity. And romping outdoors with friends to throw down the cabin fever from the winter darkness and cold. It also means that unless I give up sleep, I cannot spend a whole lot of time FU-barring. Except on weekends...
I don't want to lose touch with y'all, and I know everybody else gets busy during the warm months too. So please remember good ole T~Bear, and remember I am not ignoring you. I am out having fun away from the computer for a while. I will do my best to catch up when I can.
I do promise not to disappear like i did last June & July. There won't be another nationwide manhunt for me again. It touched me dearly that some of you went to such lengths to check on me lat summer. I hope you all know how much that meant to me that a group of cyber friends managed to track me down in the middle of a boat ride down the Mississippi River. More of you have my personal contact information so maybe it wont be that hard to find me. Except, of course, I am promising not to disappear. I am only pointing out I might not be online everyday at home. Since they have FUBAR blocked at work, then I cant keep up from there either. What, do they think I am actually going to work?
I do have notifications set up for everything, so I will know when someone is trying to reach me. Last year I was caring for a 30 year old child and her 9 year old daughter. I had no time for fun of any sort, I have re-learned that lesson in a hard way. If I am not having any fun, I am outta there!
ANyway, I am not gone, just here less. I still love you all - you know who you are!
But I should have some dandy photos to post and some stories to tell too. I am going to go to the Indy 500, another race in July, a couple of vacations. Catch up on some travels, and also burn up lots of space in my camera. Grandsons will arrive June 6 for 2 weeks of destructive fun.
I will be back every time, just want to let everybody know
huggies
