My Dear Friends On BP. I have come to know and love so many of you on this site. It has been sometime now that I have been needing a break and will take it now. I have a very big yard and a lot of work facing me this year that I let go last year for Photography. I will return full time when my yard is caught up all the way. Thanks for being my friend. Love, Bill Knaps <><

Who will monitor the Alligator movements while you are gone from the Bayou, Bill?

We will sorely miss you friend. Why not hire out the work and you can watch it being done from the window as you smile? (Typing away on BP?)

Okay, okay... At least I tried! Go easy on yourself. It can be back breaking work! -Laura SaGB #7168919

Robyn A. Terrell February 15, 2009

Believe me, Bill, I understand....commenting can be a full time job! That's why I don't comment near as much, as it did take too much time away from my family. I still love my BP family, but we do need to take breaks now and again. You go get that yard cleaned up, but don't stop taking these gorgeous pictures of the bayou.
Your Friend,

Robyn #7169641
