Connections

There is nothing like the love of some good friends.

I was so thrilled when I got this postcard

because, not only is Seattle one of my favorite places

in the entire world - 

a place where two of my sons and their families live -

but my friends Steph and Mark remembered this

fact, this connection, and thought of me as they visited this wondrous city.

I feel special.

Steph and Mark, I really hope your visit brought you as much

joy as this postcard brought me.

And I hope you found Seattle to be 

absolutely amazing..........full of fabulous food,

awesome bands, and wonderful people.

You sure made me day.

Thank you !!!

Let's go

Dreaming

We have a list a mile long but 

here's one of the top places

we dream of visiting.

France, Provence, Avignon

Again, one of our sons studying abroad.

His words -

"Mom and Dad -I'm in the middle of the walled town

of Avignon.  This is where the Popes of the 13th century

lived - not Rome.  This place is a

fantasy-like dream world.  I'm on the top of a hill in

the center of town over-looking the bridge

which is old - how old??

I'm so happy here.

It smells good.

It looks good and

there's lots of wine!!"

Just reading his description and feeling his joy,

makes us REALLY want to see and smell it for ourselves.

Oh, yes -

retirement is going to allow us

to travel.

And the places we'll see !!!!

Can't wait.

We are definitely going places.
