Josie and I went out for supper with my Brother tonight, and afterwards we went to his place to discuss our Father's house. We finally received an offer on it, and settlement is in August. Almost a year, and we will finally have closure. While we were sitting out side, Miss Molly was on my Brother's lap. She's his baby, so I took advantage of the moment as she intently watched for bunnies. She loves bunnies. This photo post completes my second year, 730 consecutive days of photos, postings and comments. So with this post I want to express my sincere appreciation for everyone of my dear friends that I have grown to love here on 365. You have become like family to me. During the next few days I am going to be thinking about how my approach to the project is going to change a bit. Beginning tomorrow I am cutting back to one album, the first step in cutting back a bit. I have accumulated so many photos, that I need to clean some off the computer, and shift some over to my external hard drive. And we are giving it some serious thought about selling our home, and moving to a one floor home as we get closer and closer to retirement. So in the next few weeks I have some thinking to do, and I must catch up on some of the other things that I have been neglecting.
An adorable photo, Rick! I didn't realize that your last photo was so near and am hoping so VERY much that you won't leave us. I've enjoyed your stories and your photos more than you know. You've been a great supporter to me and it's much appreciated. Thank you for your kindness. Enjoy the new journey that you're about to embark on and here's hoping that you will continue with us on 365 down the road.
Great shot of the dog Rick, I know the selling of the house is closure but still a hard thing, Moving yourself is a big deal also.. I hope you find time to stay on. I do not know how anyone has two or three anyway. Take care
You have so much going on right now, Rick. I know I said it in another album, but congratulations on completing year two. I don't know anyone on this site who has done it with such beauty, grace and attention as you. It's okay to take some time off to re-evaluate this photo journey, but I really hope you do come back. You have always been the heart and soul of 365 to me (and so many others) and you were one of my earliest friends on here. You have so many gifts to offer to the world. Please take time and enjoy your sweet Josie and your family. I'll be sending hugs and prayers to you all.
that's a brilliant shot of Miss Molly. Great news that your father's house is about to be sold. Congratulations on completing a second year. Good luck with the break and decisions you have to make to decide where you are going next. I can sympathise with the need to review how you continue. I'm only back because I'm out of work, if I wasn't I wouldn't be
Rick, important milestones in your life. I know your decisions will be made thoughtfully. I hope you will continue to ba a member of 365. I would certainly miss reading about the world from your perspective.
She is such a cutie! I want to give her a cuddle... as I'm not allergic to this breed of dog... :)
You and your wife had to do what you must in your life now to make sure you enjoy your retirement at the right time. I hope you keep on with us here on 365 Project; as your photos are fantastic as are your comments to us all - which we would all miss if you were to suddenly leave us.
However if you do choose to take off on your on adventures, and leave us here, it's been wonderful knowing you and your family and friends through your photos. And I've appreciated your words of encouragement, help and assistance over the time we've chatted over this great thing called 'The Net'. :D
what a cute dog------Congratulations on finishing your second year!! I undertand how you are feeling about cutting back on this project. I'm feeling the same way. I'm thinking about just continuing posting my pictures on facebook only. I hope you don't leave though--you would be missed.
A nice portrait of Miss Molly...she's so beautiful..
You have a lot on your plate now and decisions to make regarding a move..so 365 should be further back on your mind...cut down to the default album for a while and see how that works for you. may I say congratulations once again?.
Wow~! Congratulations Rick, that's an outstanding achievement, one I don't think I'll be matching up to anytime soon :D. Best of wishes with the decisions to be made, be happy :D
This is a fabulous capture Rick. I have enjoyed your photos and stories over the last year and some. I have also enjoyed your feedback on my photos. I hope that you will stick around even if not on a daily basis.
Beautiful portrait of Molly! A lovely way to celebrate your 2-year anniversary on 365. Well done! I hope we still get to see lots of you in the future!
Congratulations on day 700! That's quite an accomplishment, and I'm with @lauriehiggins on this one. You were also one of my first 365 friends, and I will certainly miss you if you aren't sharing your life with us. As far as this photo goes, it's a fav for me because it's one of the nicest dog portraits I've ever seen. If you decide to take a break, I hope to see you back on 365 again soon. Aloha......
Two years: I am so impressed! … *and* appreciative of your postings *and* your obvious commitment to the "community" in commenting on so many others' posts, including mine … even when I'm too busy to reciprocate with equal faithfulness. You are an integral member of 365, Rick.
And by the way, this is a truly wonderful “portrait”!
Thom Mitchell took the words right out of my mouth! You are such a sweet, compassionate man. It sounds like you have a lot on your mind these days. I hope you have a great vacation! This pooch is so cute!
Wonderful portrait.
You have a lot of thinking to do & decisions to make when you decide to move. We have been in our house 40 years & would love to move on, but our area has been "rezoned " for special facilities, so we have to wait for a buyer that wants to build a multi-story building on it, to get our price.
I'm sure you'll come to the right decision. You'll just have to decide where now :)
