Don't know what's going on in the universe at the moment! Katy was stuck in the airport for 8 hours with cancelled flights, then ended up finding a haunted attic room at 2am. She messaged me that they provided a toothbrush-so at least she has clean teeth....no luggage because the airline can't find it, but …
Oh No!!!!
Our first hiccup has come along in the form of a huge blockage for my esteemed co-leader of the group. Katy and her husband have been travelling around Spain a bit beforehand but when they got to the airport to fly to our meeting point, everything unraveled! Flight delayed, Missed connecting flight, 6 hour wait …
Pinch me!
Well the wedding was absolutely perfect and I'm thrilled that James and Chelsea are so happy. I am really lucky that my kids have partners that I love as much as my own. It was an emotional time and although in true fashion, I livened up the wedding with a series of blunders and perhaps …
The Wisdom of Age
I've had a lot of time to think lately, observe my mind and study it. Sometimes this can be destructive but it can also be constructive. I've noticed that nearly every time I look at the clock it is 11.11 or 12.12 or 1.11 or 3.33. I have been told that this means that you …

Day 3 Lisbon
I woke to the news that Anthony Bourdain died today. I'm sad. He was real and I enjoyed his quirky sense of humour. RIP you lovely man😢 I had to vacate my apartment this morning and move closer to the airport because I have a super early flight to Paris tomorrow. I'm staying in the …
Day 2 Lisbon
Gosh I was tired last night! I stayed in town and had a few wines along with dinner, wandered around the square and waterfront,then walked back to my digs. (Its a long way and luckily it doesn't get dark till really late) This morning I decided to go to the Aquarium. Not something I would …
Does anyone want to see my little “shower problem”?….
I took a video but you can be assured there is no nudity
Day 1 in Lisbon
I have settled into my little apartment which is on the edge of town, and I actually cooked a meal last night. I have only two rooms at the top of a very narrow staircase but it is comfortable and clean - home for the next few days. I got up early today and after …
Hello Lisbon!
What do you do when in Europe and you have a few days spare? You realize that from France, you can go anywhere, so why not go to Lisbon? I've been traveling all day to get here but I'm hoping it will be worth it. Started with a very sad goodbye to Colleen and her …
