Riding Off into the Sunset

Published at November 28th, 2007 in category Personal Glimpses

My dear bloggers:

I love westerns, but as you know I’m presently not writing them. I enjoy being part of this group, busunset.jpgt with my present schedule, I don’t have as much time as I’d like to devote to the site or as much time as the site and the other fillies deserve—so I’m not really doing my share to make this wonderful site a success. Therefore, I’ve decided that I need to ride off into the sunset.

Mary Connealy has graciously agreed to fill the spot that I’ll vacate. She’s been incredibly enthusiastic about the site, provides interesting and informative posts quite often, and I know she’ll be a terrific asset to the group and to our visitors.

I’ll drop by from time to time and y’all will be the first to know if I ever get a contract to write another western. Meanwhile, thanks for visiting me here. I’ve enjoyed spending time with you.

Now let’s give an enthusiastic welcome to our new filly, Mary.

  1. Ahh…Lorraine! May that ride into the sunset find you traveling this way again, soon and often.

    Welcome Mary! Can’t wait to read your blogs and hear more from you!

  2. Aww, Lorraine, I’ll surely miss you, but completely understand. Looking forward to anything that you write. :)

    Welcome, welcome, Mary!! :D

  3. Lorraine, we’ve told you good-by on our private loop, but let me tell the world and you again how much we appreciated you jumping on our band wagon and all you did to help launch Petticoats, then later help schedule our guests. It’s been a delight to ‘meet’ you and work with you. You didn’t have to write westerns to be an asset and a new friend.

    A BIG cyber hug to you! We’ll miss you, but we understand your new commitment to RWA and that all your deadlines are a zap to your time.

    Until San Francisco!!

  4. Mary, Mary! You look SO good on our Petticoats & Pistols header. Woo-hoo!

    All the fillies are looking forward to having you with us, sharing your humor and insight. Here’s to many, MANY months of good times!

  5. Wow, my head, on what looks uncomfortably like a Wanted Poster. :)
    I love it!
    I’m excited to be part of Petticoats and Pistols. I figured out how to log into the site and look forward to the day my cyber fumbling accidentally links us to some group with will lead us all to ruin. Or crashing the site or, well, you know, there are great possibilities.

  6. A fond farewell to Lorraine. We’ll miss you!

    And a big welcome to Mary. We know you’ll do great with the Petticoats!!

  7. Thank you for all you’ve done to launch Petticoats and Pistols with us, Lorraine! I appreciate you - and your work in arranging our first guest bloggers. I know you’re going to be busy, but PLEASE come by and see us often!

    Welcome, Mary!

  8. Lorraine we all will miss you. Good luck with your sunset ride. LOL and your books. Hope to hear from you again soon.

    Mary welcome aboard!! Can’t wait to read some of your stuff…

  9. Lorraine, darn it I hate to lose you!! I always look forward to your blogs and your comments. I hope you’ll visit us often and post some thoughts whenever the urge hits you. You know the welcome mat is always out. Take care and don’t ride too far off into the sunset. I wish you bushels of success for now and always! You’re special to me.

    Mary, you’re just what we needed to help fill the spot. I look forward to working with you. Your doses of wit and wisdom are always appreciated.

    My best to you both! :-)

  10. Best wishes, Lorraine, and welcome, Mary!

  11. Wit and Wisdom, huh Linda? I have GOT to print that out and show it to my husband. :)

  12. We’re all going to miss you, Lorraine. You’ve made such a great contribution. Good luck, and please come back and visit us.
    Mary I’ve loved your comments! It’ll be so much fun having you as one of the Fillies! Welcome aboard!

  13. We will miss you, Lorraine.
    Welcome, Mary!

  14. Hello, All! Thanks for the well wishes and the kind words. I’ve really enjoyed being here and getting to know everyone. You’ll be missed, but I promise I will stop by. This site is in my “favorites” list so it’s a click away — and there’s always fascinating bits of information being shared.

    Mary: You’ll do great - there probably isn’t anything we do that Pam can’t undo. She’s a whiz at managing the technical aspects of the site.

    Cher, again, thanks for thinking of me when y’all were putting the site together. I appreciate being included. Westerns will always hold a special place in my heart.

    Lorraine

  15. You will be missed, Lorraine!

    Wishing you joy and success–and hope to see you around :)

  16. Hugs!!!
