I thought I could continue to write posts, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to take my first blog hiatus in 3 + years after all. There's just too much going on that demands my entire attention and on top of that I've caught a miserable cold when I really can't afford to be sick.
Our children are all here with their families and there's something going on every single day.
The above hibiscus photo was taken by our very good photographer friend, Dave Au. He'll also be taking our family photo since it's been five years since we've all been together.
This was our 2009 photo that Dave took of us when we were last together.
Time has passed so quickly and so will my hiatus.
I shall look forward to returning with posts about our trip to Hokkaido and our family happenings.
Till then.... aloha and may the sun shine wherever you are.

ReplyDeleteKay, take of you. Have a great time with your family.
ReplyDeleteAloha until you return. Love your family photo. You are so busy, it's hard to keep track of your comings and goings this year!
ReplyDeleteGood decision, Kay. Taking care of yourself and spending time with your family is what is most important. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteFeel better and have a wonderful time with your family. Enjoy the rest.
ReplyDeleteSee ya later, alligator. With all that family around, let somebody take care of you till you get better. ;)

A good time for a break -- the one we all need from time to time! You will be missed though! Have a wonderful time with your family and a great trip to Hokkaido!! Look forward to seeing your pics from there, Kay!! Enjoy!!

ReplyDeleteI really need to get a family portrait going...never have done that.
ReplyDeleteTake care; come back refreshed and happy.
ReplyDeletegood reason for a vacation from blogging....enjoy family!
ReplyDeleteOnce Art get's those trees going, they won't take quite so much attention. Please take care of yourself. It won't do any good to over do especially with your family there. Hugs from here.
ReplyDeleteTime with the whole family together is the best reason for a blog break. Enjoy every second of it all while you can and then tell us about it when things calm down.
ReplyDeleteToo sad when you are gone. Have a good time, and get well! Disnne
ReplyDeleteGet well soon, Kay ! Enjoy your family.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time with your family!!
ReplyDeleteYou're still in teacher life...go, go, go. Don't worry if you're sick. keep on going. If you've gone three years without a break you deserve a hiatus. Enjoy your time with family.
DeleteEveryone needs a break, enjoy it and the time with your family
ReplyDeletePlease feel better, and enjoy your family!
ReplyDeleteHave all the fun you can manage, and savor every moment.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are all together! Enjoy the time. See you when you get back. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time, enjoy your bloggie break, and your photos are beautiful, as always. Make some memories! (Zinc lozenges are good for sending away cold symptoms...but it makes your mouth and food taste like metal after a couple of them.....check with your NP....)

You deserve a break!! You don't know how many sleepless nights I have because of guilt that I do so little compared to you. LOL...no joke!! Stay safe and wish you a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteL...w
Absence makes the heart grow fonder and we will eagerly await your return but know how much you need and deserve a break.
ReplyDeleteI'll check over here now and then. Hope to see you back soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Kay, enjoy your beautiful family and happy days to you.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better and less pressured too. We Miss ya.
ReplyDeleteKay: I got that cold but got over it fast. It was depressing and uncomfortable!
ReplyDeleteI know you are having a wonderful sojourn with your family during this time. It is so much effort to take care of small children and write a blog! Although we had so much fun with our grandchildren, I am grateful that our two weeks are all done and I can rest now and get back to the rhythms and routines of my life. See you here soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're better now. Also hope you are relaxing a bit and having lots of fun with the family...making beautiful precious memories.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you and the family, Kay.
Blessings...
ReplyDeleteTake care....
try and visit from time to time.
Be safe, stay healthy
peace.

ReplyDeleteLove,

Hi Kay, Just me stopping by to say HI. It's been so busy this summer and I didn't want to miss any of your posts, after you get back from your break.... We have had a milder than normal July which I love --but who knows what August will bring us... ha
ReplyDeleteHave a great summer and enjoy your family Miss your great blog posts though.
Hugs,
Betsy
Enjoy your break and mostly enjoy your family. Blogging is wonderful but it also takes so much time so it is good once in a while to be away from it. We will be here when you come back.
ReplyDeleteBlessings 💜
ReplyDelete2 weeks! Hope you don't lose your rhythm. Hurry back. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your days with your children..
ReplyDeleteNice to see your blog again. Not sure how I got here but at 80, I am not sure of a lot of things.
ReplyDeleteNow I am worried. No you. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteIt is my opinion that you and Art are rowing a boat from Honolulu to Japan.
ReplyDeleteMissing you. I am leaving for several days and maybe you will return while I am gone. Hope your hiatus has been fantastic and you are a happy gal.
ReplyDeleteMissing you very much. I realized this morning it's been a month. I hope everyone is doing well and it's just a short while before I see and hear from you again, Kay. :-)
ReplyDeleteMissing you indeed, Kay!! But I do understand the need for a break!! Looking forward to your return!
ReplyDeleteYou are missed indeed, Kay!! Take care! Hope to see you and your blog again soon!!
