On Hiatus

It's time to take a break. How long? I'm not sure. I have too many unfinished projects requiring my attention. I'm taking some time away from posting stories to finish editing a second book of short stories, and at least one of my two novels.
I'll be back when I can.
I will still visit my favorites when I can, and you can always come visit me over at
Rubbish by Roan
where I will be posting occasionally.
Thank you for your support!
There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too.
And up in the nursery an ubsurd little bird
Is popping out to say cook-coo cook-coo, cook-coo
Regretfully they tell us cook-coo
But firmly they compell us cook-coo
To say goodbye cook-coo...
To you...

So long farewell, auf weidersehen good-bye
Marta
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long farewell, auf weidersehen adieu
Freidrich
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you

So long farewell, au revior auf weidersehen
Liesl
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
Yes?
Captain
No

So long farewell, auf weidersehen goodnight
Kurt
I leave and heave a sigh and say good bye - goodbyyyyyyeeeee!

Brigitta
I'm glad... to go.... I cannot tell a lie
Louisa
I fleet, I float, I fleetly flee I fly...

Gretl
The sun... has gone... to bed and so must I...

So long...farewell...auf weidersehen goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye....
Goodbye....
Guests
Goodbye...

Beautiful photograph and the words fit so well!
I too have many unfinished projects but I take a far too casual view of them all - that they will be finished when they're finished! Idle or what? ;-}

Lovely ... I've been thinking about doing the same thing on one or more of my blogs. I'm not sure I was aware that you had this blog, but this is where the link you left at Happily Retired Gal brought me. Perhaps I'll be able to catch up while you're on hiatus?
Hugs and blessings,

Hmmm ... as I look it seems nothing but this post is available ... so I guess I won't be able to catch up after all. Of course, life is so busy I don't spend much time at the computer any more, so it may be just as well. Enjoy your break ;--)
Hugs and blessings,

That's so exciting that you are at the editing stage of a book. I wish you well on the endeavors, and will continue to look forward to reading anecdotes/viewing photos on Rubbish!

ha ha! My favourite song from my favourite musical, a friend and I knew the words of evey song by heart, we were so POPULAR on long car journeys I can tell you! Not!

I am so late in commenting and catching up - I think you may be soon back from your Hiatus at this rate.
