This is the party scheduled for last week. We have been working overtime to bring on-line a sister site to A Pinch of Joy and are sorting out all sorts of things in the backend. And apparently brought in a plug-in that did not play nicely. Thank you for your understanding — you also have my deepest apologies. Thanks for being here today!
———————————-
Family reunion last week was fun. Met a new branch of the extended family and got to visit with cousins and siblings and spouses and offspring. And hot – over 100 degrees for those of us who like to go for a stroll. On the way back home, we stopped to see a nephew’s family who are bringing new life to an old dairy farm and its Victorian farm house — with coffee! They import the beans, roast and sell online with profits going to overseas adoptions. From homemade ciabatta bread to the bag of home grown veggies on the way out the door, they were such gracious hosts. Back home — Bytes and I are working on a new project to be unveiled soon! Have a good week and thanks for stopping by.

Charlene, Today, August 18th at 4:59 when I tried to link up to busy Monday #632, linking up was not possible, and right under the paragraph starting with Link up only your own… it says “This link party closed with no entries” and when I click to continue it says “This link party is closed. please let me know if I am on the wrong party? or maybe the link party website has a glitch. I thought you might like to know this in case it is a problem and not just a mistake of mine in trying to access the party. thanks!

Charlene says
You are absolutely correct and it is my bad!!! I did not create a new Linky party for today – just reposted the one that did not post last week when I discovered that one had not gone live as scheduled. You’d think that I had not been doing this for the last eleven years!! In other words — Charlene has too many balls in the air right now!! Thank you for letting me know — I’m sorry.
Patty Lake says
Charlene, no problem at all. I had a problem recently with comments not going through to my website, and someone let me know, and I was able to correct it, so I understand completely that these things happen. Thanks so much for hosting your great link party each week – I enjoy it and your website. Have a great week. – Patty
