Well, the project in England got as far as we had anticipated, and our last few days with Geoffrey were spent site seeing in Bath, Wales, and Devonshire, where we saw some pretty amazing scenery and museums. During our drives getting around from here to there, daffodils flanking hedgerows were in full bloom everywhere.

The Roman bath's with all of their history were amazing, and as we toured the ruins, it was most humorous to think that such famous people as Marc Antony, Caesar, and others had actually washed their dirty feet right there! In Wales, it was especially nice to see so many small and quaint independent book stores--all loaded to the brim with beautiful books. Apparently, England's economy is not as bad as ours, or there likely wouldn't be so many of them. One of the shops added a fabulous little cafe inside where we had lunch (the best beef/chorizo burger ever made)! And let me not forget to mention the many, many, many, pub stops where we enjoyed local ales and fish n chips----YUM!

We arrived back in the USA in the early evening and thanks to Ken's daughter, we spent the night at her home in Seattle where we were treated to a wonderful homemade dinner. What a nice homecoming. Our drive from Seattle to Portland was during an extreme down pour of rain all the way, but we were hell bent to get there and see our newest granddaughter, Fiona; born just two days before we left. What a darling little bundle of sweetness---and a nice visit with parents, Kurt and Rebecca.
We are home now, recovering from jet-lag and coping with the change in time......talk about confused sleeping patterns! Naps are nice. Traveling is fun, but home is where the heart is.
Life is good......
