I won’t be checking or answering comments while I’m away, thus, some may end up in moderation. Don’t let that stop you from sharing your thoughts, as I’ll approve them when I return.

On Monday I’ll be posting another segment of my A.S.K. (Answers Sharing Knowledge) series with an answer from a well renowned blogger.

I hope to see you then.

In the meantime, have a great week.

Happy Blogging!

Have a good vacation Barbara! Don’t take your laptop or blackberry as those intrusive stuff will spoil the vacation fun! During my last vacation I took the laptop to moderate the blog comments and we came back from the vacation fighting…

WOW that #12 seriously is the most spectacular blog of all time…j/k. But seriously thanks for inviting me as your blog of the week Barbara, that was all the way back when I didn’t know anyone in the blogosphere and was just figuring out how to even make a blog post. I not only have learned a great deal from your blog, I just realized that I have made some really great friends through other writers you have featured here.

You have made some wonderful choices, and I am proud to be up there with all of my other favorite bloggers.

Enjoy your holiday! The Oregon coast is spectacular.

Have a good trip, Barbara. I’m jealous, too.

In fact, my wife and I have Salem, OR on the list to move to in about 3-4 years. Do you know anything about that area?

Is it a good place to raise a family? Does it rain everyday? What’s the scoop.

Have a good time and see you back here soon.

Hi All - Thank you for the well wishes. I had a great time and am now back and well rested. The Oregon Coast was beautiful, as always, and except for one partial day of rain, the weather was sunny and warm. It was great to get away, but for me, it’s always nice to return home.

I’m glad you had a good time then, Barbara. Although I love traveling and seeing new places, you said it . . . there’s no place like home!
