HOME AGAIN FROM ENGLAND

Home again, home again, jiggety-jig. No pig. Slept a good sleep in my own wonderful bed, but I'm still beyond tired and beyond busy, so not much time for blogging yet. Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.

I just talked to my daughter, and she was amazed at the hospitality extended to me while I was in England. "You are so lucky to know people like that!" Yes, I am and I'm still awestruck at the generous hospitality of so many lovely people.

I think I may never get on a plane to go anywhere again. If I can't go by car or by train, as a friend suggested, I won't go. Jet Blue and British Airways were both very good, but Southwest.... And the airports are all terrible places.

Later, my sweets.

    1. Thank you, margaret. I had a GREAT time - lots of pictures and lots to tell, but it will take time.

      I missed reading your daily postings while I was away.

  2. THERE you are! Welcome home, Mwah!

    I thought of you, last week, watching the (probably too scary for you) show "American Horror Story: Coven." It's set in New Orleans, so some of the history may be familiar to you, Mimi. A horror of a slaveowner, Madame LaLurie (her house is a NOLA historic place?), has been dug up, alive. Played by Kathy Bates, she watched the "magic box" (TV) and sees President Obama. She's disbelieving, but the lead witch (played by Jessica Lange) says she "voted for him, twice".

    I thought: heh, there's a least one other, um, mature white Louisiana woman who can make that same claim! *LOL*

    Rest up, cher: good to have you back!

    1. Mwah back to you, JCF. I'm too busy to watch TV. I had to unpack, wash two loads of clothes, and keep an appointment with a dermatologist.

  6. Welcome back, good to see your posts again. We had only two or three major earth-shaking, world-ending national crises (budget, default, Obamacare website snafu) while you were gone - I wonder what it all sounded like in England, or if it appeared on your personal radar at all.

    1. Russ, since I had no access to the internet part of the time, I missed a good deal of the drama. I did try to see if Obama and the Dems would stand firm, and I'm pleased they did. Who could miss the insanity of the Tea Party Republicans?
