I've thought a lot about it and have decided I am going to shut down my blog. It's taken a lot out of me to keep up with blogging every day and it's not as fun as it used to be and I'm tired of finding something to take a picture of or write about every day and I can't imagine that my life is all that interesting to people. For a few years I've had an idea for a book and I'd like to spend time working on that project so I will shut down my blog and try to focus on my book idea. Thank you to all of my faithful readers. I have appreciated your comments and encouragement. A few friends have even said my blog is the first thing they read in the morning. How nice is that? I've really enjoyed this blogging chapter of my life but it is time to move on to hopefully bigger and better things. I really think my book is going to be a best seller.

I knew it was april fool's even before I got to the end of your post - you quit blogging? I just don't see that ever happening - I think you are addicted.
ReplyDeleteGlad your blog is still going to be there tomorrow. Nice joke- but not quite as funny as last April Fool's. You should link that one - it was a classic.
I knew it had to be a joke. But I do think the idea of writing a book would be a good one. The photographic illustrations would be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteYou're a nut!
ReplyDeleteTotally had me suckered in, until I read the above comments!
ReplyDeletehahaha! I was expecting a New England photo book..you could do it.
ReplyDeleteI admit. I was a sucker too and about to post complaints of how you just can't quit.
ReplyDeletegood one.
Nice try ... besides, the internet would shut down if you did!
ReplyDeletephew!
ReplyDeletenice try i remember from last yr that you were a prankster
ReplyDeleteI still think you should write a book.
ReplyDeleteI was fooled for a second then thought of your post last year with the boyfriend named A.Fools. I was totally fooled by that one.
ReplyDeleteWhat would your adoring public (or Diana and I) do without our daily dose of Ellen?? ;)
ReplyDeleteyou totally had me there...
ReplyDeleteI didn't see you as the novelist type
"Say it isn't so."
ReplyDeleteWhew, I just glanced at the comments.
Now I will go back and read the book idea. Which I hope is not an April Fool's joke. You could write a great book on several no fiction subjects, including but not limited to: Survival of a Ward Activities Chair, Move East, My Friend!, the Guide to Antique Shopping in a Small Car, A Local's Guide to Boston and the Surrounding Areas.
And I thought your April Fool's joke last year was good.
I knew it from the first sentence, mostly because you got me so bad last year with your new boyfriend "A.Fools". Remember him? I totally believed you!
ReplyDeleteI think last year's epic post will blow your cover on all future AF days. Kind of like the boy that cried wolf.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at first. HOOK, LINE, SINKER & the WORM!! I would have been sad too. :-(

Happy April Fools Day Ellen!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Happy April Fools day!
ReplyDeleteSorry Ellen....I knew it was an April Fools...No Way you would stop blogging!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should go on another date with Mr. A. Fools!!!!
Hope you are feeling better. I got your message today. Oh, and you secret is safe with me! ha!
ellen my heart just about collapsed!
ReplyDeleteWow, you totally had me going and I thought you were having a bad (not wanting to take pictures to post on your blog). I was going to call you up and change your mind.
ReplyDeletehahahaha...you got me!
I am so gullible!
You did again!

You totally had me, Ellen. I was already beginning to mourn. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA. I wasn't fooled this time. (memories of last year's when I was completely fooled...) You have quite the following. If I ever have a post that gets 25+ comments, it would be amazing! Happy AF DAY COUSIN.
ReplyDeleteThat's it. I'm through visiting this blog.
ReplyDeleteEllen ... that was a TOTALLY uncool practical joke.
You've just lost a commenter here.
APRIL FOOLS!
aAAAAAaaaAaaAAAaaaa ....
Not nearly as good as yours ... but I thought I'd at least get in the "holiday" spirit and play along.
hee hee.
If I hadn't come to your blog LOOKING for an April Fool's joke (remembering last year's as the best one of last year) you would have had me.
But if you hadn't of already gotten me last year, you totally would have gotten me this year.
Good one!
Unlike last year, I didn't fall for this one!
ReplyDeleteYou are funny.
ReplyDeleteSo the "Mr. Fools" joke is still so fresh in my mind I'm not FOOLISH enough to go for this one! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm just lucky I didn't see it until April 2nd! Last year's was certainly a good one! Like others have said, I'm sure you would do a great book (but you can't do it on blog time!).
ReplyDeleteI came to your blog looking for your April fool's day post. I knew you'd pull through. Thanks for not letting me down.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever with your april fools jokes... you've gotten me both times. Does that mean I'm really gullible?? Anyhow we are coming out for Patriots Day so we'll see you soon, still hanging out at mile 19?
ReplyDeleteGlad you were kidding... How would I stay connected to New England without your blog!?
ReplyDeleteI was fooled today April 3rd! I thought you were serious. Good one Frankenstein.
ReplyDeleteDang your popular! 35 comments? My record is 13!
