We have no excuses…really we don’t. We may think we do, but nope…no good reasons that we haven’t been keeping up with this here blog. The post holiday time is always very weird. Anyone who’s in retail knows what I mean. Starting in late October the momentum gets going. The action really peaks Thanksgiving weekend, falls back a bit then rolls toward December 25 with ever increasing intensity. Along comes January and the crazy action just stops. Sure there’s all kinds of busy work to be done. Finishing up one year and starting another….transition stuff. It’s hard to adjust to the slower pace, but just about the time you’ve adjusted then the excitement begins again. The excitement is building at Isle of You, so this seemed the perfect time to do some blogging.
I’ve been hanging out in the blogosphere alot lately anyway. I can get lost for hours on flickr and then there’s my list of favorite blogs that I have to check out daily. My travels into the sphere have taught me a lot. Ya know, there are are some pretty impressive bloggers right here round these parts.
