Absent Blogger

This is probably my longest absence from blogging.  I don't really have much of an excuse.  Part of it is probably the fact that it is so darn cold in the study, where the computer resides, and it is uncomfortable to spend much time in there without a heater running directly on my feet.

Besides, I got an IPad mini for Christmas, and now I can sit comfortably in my soft, reclining chair in the living room and do so many different things, all wrapped up warmly in my down blanket.  Because of our high ceilings,  the heat never makes it down to the floor when it is this cold.  It is hard to stay warm!

Much of my entertainment and activity has happened in that warmer spot during the sub-zero month of January 2014.

I read recipes in a wonderful cookbook I got for Christmas.  I then adjourn to the kitchen and cook them.  I read the news on Google.  I look up recipes on Google.  I play Solitaire.  I surf Facebook.  I read books that I have downloaded,  many many books.   I read and send emails.   But  the IPad is too small for any serious typing, as required by blogging.

Another reason for my absence is that I am working on a Sequel to last year's novel.  That is my big writing project for the moment, which has made me completely forget all about my blog.

I'm sure my blog readers have probably given up on me by now.

Hopefully, the day will soon come when we will all be happily reunited on a regular basis.
