What are you doing?

[Gismo]

Gis and YB, you don't know this yet, but on the second full day of our trip I found out my Mom had taken a turn for the worse and was dying. She passed the following day. We were two time zones away and weren't able to be there, but she had three grandchildren and two other friends who stepped in and spent hours talking to her and playing music as she was passing. Needless to say, the rest of the trip was an up and down gamut of emotions.

Am so sorry to hear this Dan, condolences to you and your family

Gis and YB - Guess WHAT! Dan was in town with his wife & we actually got to meet. WOW, right. I have been so thankful for his friendship and kind words - and it was possible because we ALL stuck it out. Gis, thanks for keeping TBJ going & to y'all for the "talk". We had a great lunch - found out things about each other, then too soon it was time to go.
I'm just so thankful for it all.
PICTURES to come!

Thank you again for buying me lunch, 4! Also thank you again for the gifts. That was so thoughtful of you. We had a good trip. Meeting you in person was one of the highlights, definitely! I loved yours and Kevin's TN accents. Y'all probably thought I was the one with the accent!

[YB]

We must have been lucky then, Fours. It rained in England and Scotland on the journey there and rained again on the return journey but was good whilst we were there. Not very warm, no sun and windy Saturday but could have been much worse given the weather we have been having recently

How nice! I've always thought that area would be beautiful. I do TRIVIA with my sister 3 nights a week (by phone) and last night a questions was: name the RAINIEST city in the UK. BELFAST!

GIS!!! hope u enjoy!IMG_0163.jpg

We've been away for a few days to Northern Ireland, including an open top bus tour of Belfast, the capital city. We've never been before so it was nice to see something different.
