We are okay and not suddenly struck with some dread disease. It is just that our lives are headed in a different direction now and we are not sure where that will lead. Besides that, the quill is dry and the ink pot is empty.
I will cherish the friendships I have made during the last several years, both virtual and in person.
Yes, the dogs are fine and we treasure every moment with them.
Take care all and safe travels to you all.
no no no. love reading your blog....please stay
ReplyDeleteI don't visit as much as I used to but hope you will remain on FB so we don't completely lose touch!
ReplyDeleteI will miss reading your blog and seeing your pictures!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to see you close the blog. :(
ReplyDeleteOh we are so sorry to read this. But, whatever your future plans our, we wish you the best. My God be with you in your every adventure. Love you dear friends.
ReplyDeleteYou have been my blog mentor... and my friend. I'll miss hearing about your family... furkids, grands and all. Best wishes for whatever comes your way... hope to hear from you again!
ReplyDeleteTotally understand. I'm going to miss your wit and the doggie shots (and of course all the Oregon gems), but I totally get why you're doing it.
ReplyDeleteNina and Paul
Oh, so sorry to see you leave... hope all is well... Have really enjoyed your humor thru the years, such grand stories you tell... Was in the valley last week, but seemed to have lost ability to get in touch with you, for a meet up of some sort, probably would have involved food of some sort, sorry to have missed you. If you are ever over in this part of the 'woods' stop for a chat.. love talking with you!!
ReplyDeleteNola and I will miss your stories, wit, and humor! Hope to see you in Eugene in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog. I always appreciated your comments and hope that maybe someday you will blog again. I have gotten away from it myself. I just signed up for the A-Z blog challenge to give myself a kickstart. Hope all is well. Take care.
ReplyDeleteNO! I love your sense of humor. I sure will miss you but I do understand. There have been times when I just have not felt like blogging. So, if we don't hear from you soon - remember this - we will be in Oregon late June, don't make me come looking for you!
ReplyDeleteDonna and Russ, I am sorry to hear that you are shutting down your blog, but I do understand. I hope all is well with you both. I've enjoyed connecting with you and hope that will continue! I wish you continued good times in Therapy with your two beautiful new family members. With affection, Betty
ReplyDeleteYou will be dearly missed, and hope you check in occasionally!
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, you will be missed. Maybe the fur kids could write once in awhile just to keep us up to date.
ReplyDeleteI hate to see you go but I understand as I deleted my blog a few weeks ago and then came back just this week. I hope all is well and I really appreciate all the comments you and Russ made on my blog, facebook and through email exchanges. Give those pups a belly rub from me and the hounds and keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear, you'll be missed for sure. How is Rick going to mercilessly tease Russ now?
ReplyDeleteYou take of yourselves and continue enjoying life. Oh, and if you do want to post a blog or two, you see how many people will read it!
You will be missed. Have fun - that's the most important thing.
ReplyDeleteI'll miss your blog Donna...I have enjoyed your stories and your quirky sense of humor! I hope it's just temporary and you decide to come back to Blogville someday. I'm glad that at least we can stay in touch on facebook. :)
ReplyDeleteHope all is well and you're just on to greener pastures.
ReplyDeleteOh. Whose puns will I read??
ReplyDeleteSee you around the 'Book.
Oh, no! Donna, you have been with me now for over two years. I'm going to miss you and your doggie adventures! Please take care, stay healthy, and have fun with your dogs. Missing you already.
ReplyDeleteCheryl Ann
Well, this is sad news indeed. Sorry to hear you won't be popping up on my sidebar anymore as I always enjoyed reading about your adventures with Russ, your family and of course - the doggies!
ReplyDeleteOh shoot! Now I won't miss only you and Russ, but the two new pups, too. Well - you'll stay on my blog roll so if you ever decide to pop in with some photos or trips, I won't miss it. Glad there's nothing wrong, and I understand sometimes blogging stops being fun and we have to move on. Feel free to come back any time, we'll be here. Love to you both and the dogs. :)
ReplyDeleteAdios!! You guys are gonna be missed in blogworld...even for us lurkers :P xoxo! -MiDLiFe CrUiSeR
ReplyDeleteYou will be missed
ReplyDeletesorry to hear you are saying 'see ya later' to blogville..it has been a pleasure reading about all the antics at the Krecklow household! You can be sure we will keep in touch and the next time we see Eugene in our windshield we will be stopping by for some pancakes! hugs to you our friends..hope to see you down the road in the not too distant future!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Donna & Russ I am sad to read this but like Nina I do understand there comes a time in everyone's life to change course for whatever reasons. Interests & priorities change. Things happen beyond our control while other things just run their course. Blogging can be very time consuming & emotionally draining some times. Don't know what prompted you to pack it in but whatever it was I'm sure I would understand. Just in case we never see another post or hear from you again we here at the Bayfield Bunch wish you, Russ, & the new Pups all the best & thank you for the great gifts you sent us. And each & every one of your comments over the years was always a warm gift as well Thinking of you...............
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to read that you are shutting down...have enjoyed all your posts so very much. I should have shut mine down over a year ago since I haven't posted in that time....it is hard to find something to write about every day and there was so much sadness for such a time that I didn't want to inflict that on the readers. I shall have to read the past posts....did not realize you had new babies....they are beautiful! I'm going to try to write a tribute to my sweet boy Killer who went to the Rainbow Bridge January 19th. It's a hard thing to do, he was/is a dear family member. Prayers for you and Russ wherever life takes y'all. Hope u get a rest and decide to come back but if you should not, just know that you both have brought much joy to so many of us out here in blogland and for that, we thank you! Also Donna, thank you for the book you sent to me, I will pass it on as you said. Much love to you both-God be with you til we meet again either here or down the road.
ReplyDeleteWe've only been following you for a couple of months, since Al at the Bayfield Bunch mentioned the new pups in his blog. Have enjoyed your writing and beautiful pictures so much. Hope you'll feel like giving us an update once in a while to let us know how you're all doing. Best of luck in your endeavors.
ReplyDeleteDonna ... whatever your reasons for shutting down ... I'm sure they are good ones. You will be missed.
ReplyDeleteI am really sad that you guys aren't going to be making any more posts. I really enjoyed all your posts and love your humor. Stop by now and then.
ReplyDeleteWe will also miss your posts. Hope we can meet you and the pups this summer if we make it to OR.
ReplyDeleteTotally understand the need to at least take a break, but sure will miss reading your thoughtful posts and seeing photos of those sweet new pups.
ReplyDeleteI too, will miss your post. If you travel, please be careful on the road.

Mo just asked me yesterday how you two were doing. I said you hadn't been blogging much, but were having lots of fun with your new fur babies. She loved the photos of them. You know we will keep in touch. Take care and enjoy the coming springtime!!
ReplyDeleteOH NO! You have had such a neat blog and you have been with me through thick and thin. We are going to miss you,your family and the fur kids. Hugs and our prayers go with you.
ReplyDeleteKnow exactly what you mean. Sometimes it's simply time to move on.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed our visit with you a few years back.
Enjoy what's next. Whatever that may be.

ReplyDeleteI miss your blog. We have recently become full time RVers and hope to visit your part of the world in the next few months. I have enjoyed reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteBeen off the blogs myself for a while and just read this. We hope all is okay and do so totally understand. I must confess, we will miss hearing from you and Russ...and the pups, but wish nothing but the best for you all. Thanks for the blogging friendship...Take care!
