Well, tomorrow I leave for the Isle of Britain.   You will not hear from me, unless, I fine a good computer shop, until September 24. 

I have been busy all day getting packed and finishing up all of the responsibilities that I have.

I will be so happy for 12 days of just exploring and fun.

I will miss everybody but we can catch up when I get back and I will have adventures to relate.

I love you all

Two more days until departure.

I spent the day getting the house ready for a showing tomorrow, washing clothes for the trip, working on the information for those who MAY have to reach me and preparing a bit for two events that will occur shortly after I return.

It was beautiful today.   The humidity was almost nil and the temperatures were warm but not sweltering.

Seems that it will be slightly cooler in Cornwall, so I must pack for that.

Rest Well

Had coffee this morning at the Exchange Bank with my friend Sonia.    Then I came home and just worked and organized at my own pace.    I am still exhausted so am going to bed now.

Love you all

Well, this has been a nice day.   Kind of lonely after having family in the house for parts of Saturday and Sunday.    I like that.   I think Nicky did too after he got used to everybody.

It was nice to have a day, today, with nothing specific planned.   I rested, but did get a lot done.   Some things for the trip, some things for the TallGrass new secretary.   I am ready to call him tomorrow and turn things over to him and to Bob Hurrie, our president.

My brother, George, and Bart called me today so I had some nice visits.   I sent a picture of the Black Pig wall hanging to George and Betsy.    Now they have someplace to eat when they come to Wisconsin.  They will be moving into their new home back in Houston next month,   George is feeling pretty good, but he and Betsy both injured their legs.   Bummer.

Bart is fine.   We had a great talk.   He often calls when he is waiting to go into a doctor.   I am  SO glad- we both need people to talk to.

Tomorrow I will take care of outside errands so that the rest of the week can be spent preparing for my trip to Cornwall.   Yea.   I am so excited about getting away from everything for just that week and a half.    A break.  And two places to cross of my bucket list.

What a wonderful couple of days.   I got to spend them with Richard and Brenda and Bobbie and Bill.

Richard and Brenda came over to help me sort through all the computer stuff and I am now ready to move only what I need and have disposed of what I don't .   Thank you for helping me.   I am so blessed to have all of you in my life.   We also sorted through and are working on sharing many documents from my Love, Dick's life.   Many of them that his children actually shared with him.

Bobbie and Bill were able to join us for dinner at the Black Pig to enjoy a great dinner and to see the wall hanging that I created for the restaurant.  

Bobbie and Bill were also able to come to breakfast this morning.  I fixed eggs, Irish bacon, fruit, toast and scones.  We were all full.  You know how I love to cook and feed people.

Richard and Brenda stayed through lunch as Richard was correcting and updating things on my computer.   Boy am I lucky.

Nicky did OK.  He finally decided that everybody was acceptable.  Reluctantly perhaps but he did settle down.

Now.  I have tomorrow to do "nothing".   I will just get ready for the four days before I leave for Cornwall.  Can you believe that I will be leaving on Saturday.
Love you.
