Late Saturday response and cheers essay

Submitted by smiley7 on Mon, 08/10/2020 - 3:44pm

Hi good people,

Great expectations ... left for down the mountain to childhood home a week ago with laptop and i thought its packed necessities in order to drive a few miles from the country home which has no internet service to a place with free wifi; but, surprised to discover, i had not packed the Apple charger. So, i missed Welcome to Saturdays.

Thank you randtntx for picking up the ball and to janis and QMS for proving evidence of my last whereabouts and to you all for caring, as you so splendidly do and understanding more than most.

Now, given a clearer picture of what's ahead these next weeks, i must ask that you folks fill in or take-over Saturdays for a while, unknown.

Plan to depart again by Wednesday morning.

Mountains to move and paths to learn quickly, and, i must.

I miss you all.

May return this evening for comments, but can't promise.

Thinking of you,

s/7

good to hear you're okay;

everyone was hoping that it was so.

You’re back, even if briefly!

It sounds like you’ve met the mountain, and are starting to climb it. Remember to be the mountain, still and strong, able to weather the changes and challenges. We all know you’re a mountain man!I

I was hoping, that magically the mountain would just slide over, and the path be smooth sailing. I wish for you positive responses and support along the way to make it easier. We’ll be here for you in whatever ways we can.

Glad to see you

smiley. Wishing that all goes as smoothly as possible as you work your way through all the things that have to be done. We'll miss you and your wonderful Saturday essays while you are not here. No worries though, will fill in.
Take good care, sending best thoughts to you. We'll see you when you get back.

Hi Janis

it's always nice to see you as well. TY for your kind words. Hope you are well on your side of the world. Things are pretty dicey over here as you know, and getting dicier by the moment. We shall see.

I would be happy to pitch in for a 'Welcome Saturday' or so. We could coordinate if anyone else would like.

Best to you Janis, take care.

Hi rand,

@randtntx

Submitted by randtntx on Tue, 08/11/2020 - 9:14pm

Sure

@janis b that is fine, PM me and we can go from there.

Glad to hear all is well...

Take care and be well!
