Thank You to My Readers

I want to take this Wednesday Friends Day to thank all of my faithful readers. I’ve been up at the cabin every day and night for two weeks now. It’s been a very restful time in the warm summer weather, and we sure have had a long run of it.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know that we have chosen not to install television or the Internet at our float cabin on Powell Lake. We have cell phone coverage using a booster antennae, and satellite and traditional radio. That’s enough for us to feel connected, yet maintain our remote lifestyle.

Then when we come to town (usually once or twice a week), we have television and Internet available. It does make our trips a bit hectic, but we want to keep it that way. Because Blogger allows you schedule posts, I can write a few ahead and have them go online in my absence. That helps tide things over between town trips, and allows me to tell more stories.

So, if you’ve been wondering why there are long stretches between posts, this is the reason. Or if you’ve been wondering how I can make so many posts without the Internet, you now know.

Thank you to you, my readers. You make blogging a lot of fun! -- Margy

And I'm glad I found your blog to read! :) Haven't been around too very long, but I am enjoying it! Seeing that very picture of your cabin is what brought me over from Down--to--Earth ;)

I am glad you are enjoying the beautiful weather. I have just learned more about the scheduled posts which is making life a little easier however I feel like such lazy sod when I do not respond or read other blogs in a timely manner. Oh well, plenty of time for that when the cabin is built and the rains come!!!!
Have a wonderful time Margy!

It is a wonderful lifestyle. We are hoping our 6.6 acres will give us some private space. THE LAKE IS NUTS this week. Happy floating!

Hey Margy,

I really enjoy coming over to your blog, reading about the wildlife, that come to visit you,the birds and the snake, seeing your float veggie patch helped to inspire me to get a veggie box started in our rental here in Cyprus, and there is much that I have already learnt from you, ie. using your heated Dutch oven to help get your bread to rise! It is fantastic that despite many of us wanting solitude, the internet allows us to connect and we can share life's experiences.

Thank you for sharing your's!

HAVE A GREAT DAY,

HBH

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. We came down the lake after three weeks of wonderful summer weather. In that time, I only came down on three occasions to do shopping, e-mail and upload a few posts to the blog. Now we are back in "civilization" for a week, including a trip back to the States to take Mom home. It will be quite a shock to the system I am sure. Thanks for all your patience with sporadic posts while we were living the good life. - Margy
