My only excuse is I was writing away from the net and it completely slipped my overtaxed mind!
Your Ode earned the most votes!!

Great pic of Katie on the horse! I love cruises.
I'll be off-topic today . . . only because I'm retiring from the Babes and want to say an official goodbye. Readers and fellow Babes, I'll miss you! It's been a pleasure blogging here but it's time to move on and do my own thing, periodically blogging from my own site at www.KarenKendall.com.
I hope to come back occasionally as a guest and hang out in cyber-space with you! But this is a time of many, many crossroads in my life and I have a lot of personal decisions to make.
If you're attending RWA this summer, I'll miss you there, too. This will be the first year since 2000 that I've missed the national conference--and frankly, it feels very weird to me. I'll have to rely on reports and pictures this year.
Anyway. I wish every one of you a wonderful summer full of good books and great times. Hugs to you all,
Karen 
We'll miss you!
