Got home last night. 4700 miles, 24 states and Canada, visited so many friends, saw at least a dozen museum shows and 2 movies. Our last 2 nights were spent in Portsmouth, Monday night with Reg, Jay, Michael, and Kristina, and Sunday with Kristina, JC, Sophia, Valaree and Michael who came to dinner. JC started our evening with the amazing pear sparkling wine which he gets when he goes home to Normandy, and Kris baked a .....Petite Vi ea??-a beautiful almond thing with a bead hidden inside, whoever gets it in their piece is king for the next day, no one broke a tooth. We had many different types of wine for each dinner course. The next morning my head did not hurt one bit, but my face did.......... from laughing.

We left for home Tuesday morning after visiting Bo and Beryle (Mike's folks), and JC (for coffee). A very relaxing drive up, got home around 6:00 and hung with Carrie and Hank for a bit. Thank you Carrie for taking such good care of our compound and Cats.

Thank you to everyone we visited for an experience that lights my heart and makes me smile. I expect this feeling to warm us for a long time. We feel truly blessed with such good friends everywhere. Our gratitude and love to all.
