Open Gate Blog

Hi Everyone, Because of some personal reasons, I am taking a break from writing my blog.  As you probably have seen from my recent blogging, this has been going on for a while.  I will still be posting the Block of the Month blogs and will finish that out.  After that, I will continue to take a break.  Sorry to disappoint everyone and hope you understand. Thanks for being such loyal and wonderful readers!
