The end of June, half way through the year, and it’s time to move on from this theme time of breathing space.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve needed the breather, so thanks for the indulgence while I took some time out.
I wanted to highlight some of the ‘best of’ the last couple of months, including showcasing once again the guest posts which friends and fellow bloggers wrote for me for you. Thanks to all of them for helping to keep this show on the road 
I’ll be back tomorrow with news of the theme for July and August.

Hi Joanna, I can just picture you swinging on a hammock, drinking whatever you can find
, watching the clouds pass overhead … what a fine way to spend the first part of summer. I hope you are relaxed, refreshed, and ready to go.

Miguel | Simply Blog´s last blog ..What is Remarkable Blog Content?
Howdy, Joanna! Hey, it was fun, and I always enjoy getting away from the Zone now and then.
Sometime when you’re feelin’ rested up, maybe you should think about dropping by the Middle Zone again? We got plenty of iced tea for those hot summer afternoons!
Joanna,
Glad you enjoyed your breathing space. I enjoyed reading the other guest posts and appreciate your including mine.

Oh Brad I can see you are going to hold that Twitter conversation against me… drinking whatever I can find, honestly!
It has been good, thanks, and yes, I’m ready to roll.
Mig thanks for that, and for sticking around.
Robert you know I have a confession… I am there most days, just developed a strange new identity as a lurker Never thought I’d see the day… I will try and think of a blooper to learn from for the next WILF though.
Lillie thanks once again for your contribution, and all your support to what I try to do here
