Just picked a peach from our tree to take to my friend today. Wish I could bring a few to share with you folks but I believe Customs would frown on that. Clothes are drying on the clothesline and I will enjoy that fresh laundered scent when I open my suitcase. Chrissie, my daughter, has us going on ...

Ongoing is the right word, Mariana! Hurricane season in the US goes through October. Next comes winter in the north country. We New Englanders are used to hunkering down and doing without. I think we all have Pilgrim blood in us whether or not we are direct descendants. An alternative heat source is...

Things are pretty okay at home right now. However, I saw a video clip of the damaged caused by flooding in Vermont and could not believe my eyes! Route 4 is the major highway running east and west through this state. It's the route that our son and his friends take in the winter to go skiing and sno...

Hi, Mariana! I'm packing tomorrow for our flight out of Boston on Monday. My friends and I have a website set up for our friend in hospice so that we can check in on how things are going day to day. I will be able to access it while abroad. My daughter will be able to use her regular cell phone numb...

Thank you Mariana, Marian, John, Maureen and Harry, and Sandra for all your kind words. Our itinerary came in the mail on Saturday. We will be arriving in London on Sept. 12th and staying in Kensington. Mariana ... thank you for your number. I will keep it with me. We will be traveling first to Ital...

Our power was back on today at noon after a two day outage. High winds Sunday night were to blame for that. Lots of rain here caused flooding and Vermont has been hit the worst. Thanks for all the good wishes. They are appreciated !!

Well ... it's been quite a week here in the Northeastern part of the US. We had a tornado on Monday that we felt all the way up here in New Hampshire and today we are just finishing with the remnants of hurricane Irene. I also have a dear friend in hospice and am not as excited as I should be about ...

Hi, Mariana! This sounds wonderful but unfortunately my daughter and I have booked a tour of Stonehenge for that day and won't be back in town until 9:30pm. If you think you'll all still be gathered and we aren't too tired (we might be hungry) we'd love to stop by. Hope casual dress - jeans and swea...

Congratulations to Max and Justine ! Wonderful for both of them ... and you. I concur - once a mother always a mother : )

Will Travelers Checks be accepted? There's no way they could get set up to accept credit cards before the event?

Thanks for your reply, Richard. Tough economic times everywhere it seems.

Hello,Richard! I was wondering about the Abbey Road Studio and if it has been purchased and is the plan still to preserve it for the Nation? Seems that no one could actually answer that question and Marian suggested that I ask you. In July 2000 I visisted London for the first time. I will never forg...

Dear Michele! So sorry for your loss. I lost my mom on Oct. 15, 1999. I was with her until her last breath and it pains me even today to think of that loss all these many years ago. I always refer to her as my most treasured human friend. I just posted on my FB page that I think this London trip is ...

So sorry to hear about what's been happening in London the past four days. It was horrifying to see the pictures on the news of buildings engulfed in flames and destroyed. Hope you all are safe and removed from the violence!

Hi, Marian! Sounds like I need to fly there with an empty suitcase or perhaps make some arrangements to have my book and CD purchases sent home ahead of me. I spoke with my daughter about the candle. It might be difficult to bring one with us but we'll definitely have one for the event. I remember a...
