Hopping the Pond!

Rick and I are off for a bit. After my most stressful summer in years (ever?) we hope to get some real R&R in Bath, London and elsewhere in England! Hopefully, I haven't overpacked!

I will probably not commenting or reading blogs much or blogging from "the road." I do have a couple of pre-posts scheduled, including the September book post.

Our agenda (to the degree we have one!) includes theatre, concerts, sightseeing, and meet-ups with some blog friends! (That will be the best!) Maybe even a rugby game if it isn't rained out!

Please stay well. If you are in areas badly damaged by the recent Hurricane Helene, I hope your recovery is going well and that you remain safe. I know many bloggers are in this position and I will try to check in. The same goes for blogger Duta in Israel and others dealing with the war in the Middle East.


Enjoy the beautiful fall colors and I'll be back with loads of photos (probably more than you want to see!)

 
(And thank you for all your comments and support about Lizzie. I was so relieved when she returned. To the bloggers and visitors I have never seen comment before, I was especially moved that you came by and took the time to do so. If you have a blog, I will try to visit before I leave; if not, after. Thank you, thank you.)

  4. Sorry, it's taken me so long to get here, Jeanie. Yup, I'm running behind. I had no idea Lizzy was missing. So glad she's home safe and sound. I know how frightening that had to have been for you.
    Hope you enjoy your trip to the max and come home refreshed and rejuvenated. We'll leave the light on for ya.
    Hugs

Have a totally wonderful adventure and we will be hear to see your wonderful pictures and read your stories when you return.
