There are some highly imaginative bloggers out there that turn their creativity into captivating moments or highly instructive ones. Either type of blog is great to me and I’ve enjoyed visiting each of them. I wish I could have visited more, but time . . . well, you all know about Time.
YAY! Here’s my badge for crossing the finish line. |
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin’ until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we’re together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you, ’till we meet again.
Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It’s the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here’s a happy one for you.
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin’ until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we’re together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you, ’till we meet again.

I took A to Z off this year. Next year I'll be back in the saddle.
Shannon Lawrence says
Good for you for already having a theme picked out for next year! I have ideas, but won't know until much closer which I'll go with (or if it will be something completely different).
Have a good blogging break! (I'm assuming from your Gone Fishing post above)

I enjoyed my first trip on the A to Z Challenge. You visited my blog pretty much every day, so I wanted to give you a special thanks.
Enjoy your rest and I hope your head quits buzzing the alphabet soon:)
Carrie Butler says
You already know your theme for next year? *faints*
Medeia Sharif says
What a great surprise to be on your list.
The challenge was exhausting yet rewarding. I'll definitely be doing it again next year.
Angela Ackerman says
I love how you kept track of all the neat things you learned this time around. π

Happy trails to you, too! I will be singing that song all night now. π
Congrats on completing the A-Z Challenge! I enjoyed your posts and loved trying to guess the words you would pick.
Enjoy a break!

Cynthia Chapman Willis says
I am ever so impressed that you took on this challenge, met it, and visited many others. Wow! Enjoy your well-deserved break!
michelle says
Congrats on finishing the challenge!
I really looked forward to your visits, and your whacky, wonderful definitions. Thanks for playing along so faithfully, Lee! I had a blast! I've never ever laughed so much. Thanks for the entertainment!
I think I missed lots of good themes… there was just no time… but I did follow DL's theme, and I won the $75 Amazon gift, so that means my TBR pile will be skyrocketing! Woo-hoo!
The A to Z is special… so I'm sure that I'll be signing up for the challenge next year.

Congratulations on reaching the finisher line! A to Z is very entertaining. I love visiting participating blogs and reading all those cleverly designed posts π
M Pax says
I saw a photo like that with George Lucas and an ewok. Very similar. lol
Not sure if I'll do next years. At the moment, I think no. But who knows what I'll think by next spring. I don't.
mooderino says
You're already planning next year's? Actually, I should probably get an early start too, might actually be prepared.

Congrats on completing the challenge, Lee! I really enjoyed your posts whenever I managed to drop by. π
Rawknrobyn.blogspot.com says
Thanks for that list, Lee. It's helpful. I see a few blogs I need to check out.
"Happy Trails" is such a sweet, innocent song – much different from the *bleep* that's popular now.
Be well.

Elizabeth Seckman says
Man, I missed so many good ones! Next year, I am going to be better prepared and visit more blogs.

Greetings human, Lee,
Yes, your wait is over. It's close to three in the morning and my human has to get up at five in the morning. So, lucky human, you are getting a comment from me, yes me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar!
All those amazing bloggers you mention. To think they, along with you brought further awareness of the alphabet with 26 letters.
On an almost bordering on serious note, our alternative, sometimes satirical postings, were hopefully light relief for those who might of been having trouble coping with it, or just wanted a bit of a distraction.
Anyway, well done to you and to all those who participated in a challenge we would never do. Thank goodness it's May and we have blogland back! π Happy trails to you, Lee.
Pawsitive wishes,
Penny the Jack Russell dog, from the anarchic alternative alphabet astounding adventure and official anti-A to Z spokesdog! π
Laura Eno says
I'm so glad my cats and snarky teas could entertain you. π I'm REALLY looking forward to your pond pudding challenge!
You already have next year's theme? Wow!
Samantha May says
Thank you for the shout out! I'm glad you enjoyed my theme and I so enjoyed yours!
You already have a theme?! It will take many more naps before I come up with mine…
Mark Means says
You're so right…there were a ton of great blogs to come across this challenge and I'm glad I found yours!
Looking forward to what you come up with after you're back from the 'dusty trail' π

Thanks, Yvonne. I wish I could have included everyone I enjoyed.
Theresa Milstein says
I liked Medeia's theme too.
You're already energized for next year??? I'm still burned out from last year!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Not exactly energized, but I've put my theme down so I'll remember. Now I'm taking a break.
DEZMOND says
I like Medeia too, she's one of my oldest and longest blogging pals!
C. Lee McKenzie says
That's wonderful.
Kelly Hashway says
Medeia featured Touch of Death for "T". So sweet of her.
Congrats on making it through the challenge. π
C. Lee McKenzie says
I thought she had a clever theme.
Natalie Aguirre says
Awesome you got so much out of the challenge. And wow, that you know your theme for next year. I remember that song from watching the show as a kid. Shows how old I am, I guess.
EvalinaMaria says
Mission accomplished, congratulations!
Evalina, This and that…
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, Evalina.

Hi, visiting from the reflections list π Loving the words for your A-Z π

C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, Suzanne. Here's to next year.
Hilary Melton-Butcher says
Hi Lee – yes our inter-relationship about dripping cream from teapots must be a blogging marriage made in Pond Pudding Heaven! More to follow as you say … I wonder if I can conjure other creative recipe exploits from the annals of my life! They be not springing to mind .. but creativity could be to the fore …
I loved this year's A-Z .. my theme was easier and I relaxed and just decided the A-Z continues through the year .. I'll be across and meet friends in the A-Z universe.
Your words made me laugh and cry at the descriptions and the photos .. while others had lists of films, books, gardens to visit, places to see – loved them all – way too many!
Cheers – it was a fantastic time – Arlee's inspiration is just the best – Hilary
C. Lee McKenzie says
Yes, I guess it does continue all through the year. I loved the variety, too.
lostinsidethecovers says
You already have your theme!? That is awesome! I have a hard time committing to one theme so ideas bounce around my head all year, we will see what happens π
It was fun, but I am very happy to have made it to the end! Enjoy May!
C. Lee McKenzie says
And to you too. Enjoy this wonderful month.
Stephen Tremp says
There were some great themes form this year. Like yourself, I already have my theme for 2014.
C. Lee McKenzie says
That's great! I look forward to seeing what you've come up with.
Barbara Watson says
You more than deserve a May blog-cation after the A-Z. And yay for you that you already know you loved it enough to go again next year!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, Barbara. I think a break will clear my head.
Al Diaz says
Hahahaha, that's a prize winning picture! I am extremely glad you liked the tour to the cave with dwarf hairballs and all. π
C. Lee McKenzie says
It was a lot of fun at the cave. I'll be back.
Diana Wilder says
It WAS a lot of fun and so amazingly varied! …and you've just posted about some blogs that I simply must visit this moment! Off to do so – and happy trails to YOU!
C. Lee McKenzie says
The variety is what's so interesting. I agree. Hope you enjoy those blogs. They are great.
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
Those were some awesome themes! And yours has showed up on a few lists as well.
If you know your theme for next year, then you are committed.
C. Lee McKenzie says
My husband thinks "committed" is what I should be. However, he's supportive of all I do. Am very lucky that way,
