i left my seat empty here on soeurs and i hope you haven't actually noticed. i did my best however i was not not visiting your blogs with any regularity. it was the right thing to do although i admit that at first i felt some guilt.
you see, my old friend mr. deadline called. he needed me. i am sure you have met him, he's not such a bad guy really. usually he gives you more than enough time before you have to meet but do not disregard his seriousness. he is unflinching in his demands. i must admit that he is a character building friend, expecting all of us to be reliable, mature and to manage our time well. i know that i hate myself when i under estimate him when i think i can beat him at his own game.
the good news, we have met, and i am once again taking my seat here. i will be around in the next few days to give a hello to everyone, getting caught up.

We've all been there, friend! And we will be again! Sometimes, life calls!

Never feel badly about that. We all have lives that happen from time to time. Love the photo.

No worries. Blogging without obligation is the best way.
I did miss coming here though. That's a beautiful image of an empty seat.
