Hi everyone! A quick note on things around the blog for the next couple weeks.
I’m headed off to northern Canada next week, where I won’t have any access to a phone, let alone the Internet (let’s just say, we drive to the end of the road, and because that’s not far enough off of the beaten track, we then hop in a float plane and leave civilization that much farther behind).
Paul, Choppy and Schooner are holding down the home fort while I am gone, but I’m not going to make any of them keep up with the blog. I mean, if you you thought there were a lot of posts about bacon now, just wait until those three took over.
So what does that mean for things around here?
First and foremost, there will continue to be daily posts – I’ve scheduled them out for the whole time I’m gone. I think you’ll all enjoy them – I’m not saying there’s an extra “Where’s Choppy” post coming up over the next two weeks, but I’m not saying there isn’t, either.
That said, keeping up with the comments around here is a big job. I feel bad when I get behind or don’t answer comments that everyone took the time to leave. So, while I am away, I’m turning off the comments on most of the blog posts so I won’t miss any of them (they were already off on the Howlidays post this morning). I’ll keep them on for the “Where’s Choppy” posts – I know a lot of you use the comments to help find her – but otherwise, they’ll be off for a couple of weeks. And I won’t be around to answer any comments left on those, so you’re all on your own to play nice.
I’ll be around a little the next day or two catching up on things (because I’m still behind from last week), so don’t be surprised if you hear from me over the weekend. Otherwise, I hope everyone has a great next couple weeks – I’ll miss you guys!
Have a wonderful trip into Northern Canada! 🙂

What is it – Nordic Outward Bound? A Vision Quest? While the isolation sounds intriguing, I’m not sure I’d be okay for 2 weeks! I hope you have good company, weather and get lots of reading/journaling done. We’ll miss you, but look forward to hearing about it when you return. ❤

Nothing so exotic as that – it’s a fishing trip with my dad. We’ve been doing similar trips for virtually my entire life. He took me on my first one when I was 6 – so it’s pretty normal for me, though I’m guessing it looks pretty crazy from the outside (and looking back, I was very little when my dad started doing these trips!).

It really is great – my parents always made sure that we got time with each of them, apart from each other. I encourage my friends to do that with their kids, because those are some of the most memorable times I spent with each of my parents.

It’s true. I took my sons on a couple of ‘single’ trips each, they really do stand out. I’ll make sure to pass your advice on to other parents in my sphere.

Ha! I used to be among those without the daily posts – then I just started posting really short things. It’s much easier to take a picture and post that, than to come up with the longer posts that you do!

Safe travels Sarah. I hope you have a great trip and enjoy yourself. You do know there are lots of bacon lovers, so if Paul did want to guest blogs for the time you’re away, I know Alice wouldn’t complain! Nor would I. Take care. See you when you return.

Too funny, Gary…I actually rarely eat bacon…”I buy ready cooked chicken bacon”…we try & eat as healthfully as possible & this “bacon” has far fewer calories…I do enjoy joking about 🥓

Thanks! If Paul had more time, I would leave him in control. The blog would just become a bacon and beer paradise. It would probably double in readers while I was gone.
