    I sure will miss you! I hope all is well with you, and you’re just retiring from blogging. I know it gets hard – I’ve been off all summer!
    God bless you and keep you!

      Aww, thank you! We have to cut some things back financially and since I spend quite a bit more than I’ve made this year, the expense of the blog is one of the first on the chopping block. I appreciate your kind words.

    I wish you well in your next life’s adventure.

      Thanks Sue – and let me thank you for being a part of the party from the beginning!! I so appreciate all the support from my fellow bloggers and love you’ve all shown. Makes it kind of bittersweet. I’ll still be on facebook as Helen Krejci Fern – so I hope to see you there from time to time!!

    Oh Helen! I’m SO sorry to hear this! I will miss the What’s for Dinner party! Thank you for all the hard work you have done for us each week and for always supporting me. Hope to still see you on FB.

      I’ll still be on Facebook as Helen Fern – I’ve loved doing the blog, but it’s so much work and my ideas are starting to dry up. I want to move on to my other hobbies again – sculpting, jewelry making, and, of course, lots more gardening!! LOL – Thank you for all your support Leslie.

    I am sorry to see you stop but the expense I understand. I hope you enjoy making new recipes for you and your family. Thank you for all the great recipes. You will be missed.

    • HelenFern says:

      It’s more than just the expense. I’m ready to pursue my other hobbies and just doing what I want, when I want. It’s been fun though – and I appreciate all of you who have supported me. Thank you!

    Sure hope your retirement is great for you…by the way you will love retirement….enjoyed your newletter.

    • HelenFern says:

      Thank you Marlene. I retired from my day job a few years ago. Having that extra time and going and doing things is what sparked a full and total retirement. Thanks for all the support you’ve given me. I so appreciate it.

    I will miss seeing your smiling face in my inbox. Enjoy whatever you are doing next.

    • HelenFern says:

      Awww – thanks Bernadette. I plan on working on my other hobbies – I used to sculpt art dolls and haven’t in a few years. I’m going to to that again. I’m looking forward to playing in the kitchen more with ideas from all of you! Thank you so much for being a part of our party for so many years. It’s because of people like you that I’ve done this so long!
