Dearest Friends,
this post is both an apology and an invitation.
I do remember that I invited you to a Blog "party" to celebrate my 100th follower (according to the "friend connect" mosaic). I said that you should look for this party in September but then, alas, life got a little sticky. Life is not bad - just sticky tricky - and here it is, October already. Please, please forgive me!
This post, then, is to tell you that I have not forgotten and that my next post (which I hope will be in about a week) will be a proper blog party (with a giveaway, no less). Also, quite coincidentally, I see that it will also be my 100th post. Life IS a curious thing, isn't it.
In the meantime, we are celebrating my sister's birthday, finishing planting the garden, gaping at glorious autumn leaves, blue sky and sunshine, doing our homework and enjoying the fact that my parents are visiting.
Phew!
Well, I hope that either, your life is calmly serene or that you have as much rambunctious fun as we seem to be having!
Love, Katy
Hi Kathy......life is fun...so relax darling...and i can wait.....and i think all blog ladys can........lovely days......enjoy......love Ria....
ReplyDeleteLife does have a way of getting sticky and tricky, and awfully busy. Thanks for the invite and have a wonderful Thursday.
ReplyDeleteJust enjoy the days Katy. We'll still all be here xx
ReplyDeleteI've been gone for weeks, too, Katy, so I understand if anyone does! LOL! Mr. Magpie has at last recuperated from his surgery, and I am playing catch-up on a mountain of things.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall!
XO,
Sheila :-)

Have a wonderful visit with your parents; and, DO pause and take in that wonderful fall foliage, which is at its peak this week! I had rambunctious fun last weekend with 3 girlfriends at our farmhouse. There's nothing like New England in the autumn! Cassandra ♥
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you're having rambuncious fun!!!
ReplyDeleteNo worries. Enjoy our visit with your parents and the fall. It's a wonderful time of year, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThis leaf is beautiful Katy! Here's hoping for a slow and lazy October! :)

Dear Katy Noelle! Thank your soooo much for your sweet comment in my blog in regards to my 4th anniversary. Your kind words truly touched my heart, and I felt a special connection to a friend "across the pond". Your lovely words are always appreciated, and I am so happy to see that you have stopped by.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad your garden is coming along beautifully, and I am so glad to call you a friend!
Just checking in to see how you are and to tell you that I hope you are well and enjoying the fall days of crisp air and softer temps.
ReplyDeleteLove to you on this gloriously sunny Sunday here in the Sunshine State...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Yeah, right. You've been picking too many apples and enjoying too much cider!
ReplyDeleteMiss you, Katy Noelle - Hope all is well and that you are just busy, busy, busy with your lovely home and wonderful boys - AND enjoying the magnificent autumn. I was in Vermont very briefly with 3 girlfriends on October 2nd to visit the Grandma Moses exhibit at the Bennington Museum. It was the PEAK of the fall foliage and SO beautiful...Cassandra ♥
ReplyDeleteDear one, just dropping by to tell you I miss you and hope you are feeling better. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLife can definitely get a little sticky at times, we all understand! Hope you are well!! Your pictures are lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteBig hugs ~

Dear Katy,
ReplyDeleteMiss your posts! Hope you and your family are well?!
Lieve groet, Madelief x
I just spent 3 weeks in your lovely little town, with family, but found the foliage to be very lacking this year. I am glad that I wasn't a tourist on my first visit to the area or I probably would ask what the big deal with New England foliage season was all about. I also spent a day with my best friend who happens to go to your church, Jean S.
ReplyDeleteCiao, per caso mi sono trovata nel tuo bellissimo blog.Complimenti!
ReplyDeleteHi Katy Noelle,
ReplyDeleteTime if flying by so fast, that I forgot to reply to your comment. Sorry!! I enjoyed hearing from you very much and am happy to hear that you and your family are ok.
The fact that you are partly Danish made me laugh. I am partly Belgian and far away partly Austrian :-) I believe all over the world we are getting more and more mixed!
I hope your garden is getting along fine. We visited last week and did quite a lot of work (pruning the roses, putting the fallen leaves on the compost heap and throwing away some old tomatoe plants).
As the weather forecast predicts rain for tomorrow we will probably visit a museum! Wish you all a happy weekend & good luck with the garden :-)!
Lieve groet, Madelief
Dear Katy, just wanted to thank you for your lovely messages and encouraging words. Your visits and comments are ALWAYS appreciated, they never fail to make me smile. Don't stay away too long, I miss you! Have a great weekend XO
ReplyDeleteDearest Katy Noelle,
ReplyDeleteAre you okay? Time is passing so fast these days.
Have a great weekend!
