September 2: Leaving green for the Emerald Isle

with 8 comments

Well, we are just hours from a new adventure! Bags have been packed and repacked, home is secured, neighbourhood watch notified, and good-byes all accounted for. Excitement and unsettling nervousness share the emotional stage. What have we forgotten? What will the weather be? How will we…? Not to worry! My bag holds more than enough clothing, maps, books and candy to get us through a lot of emergencies. First stop…the Emerald Isle where we will meet up with Bob and Alice. The weather looks better there than it has for weeks, but then again, we are leaving some of the most beautiful weather here for August that I can recall. I am glad that we can leave you with its balmy breezes. A stay in southern France will follow, then a visit to our friends in Germany, and a final few days in gay Paree!

I will try to leave new tales of adventures along the way. The “Quilter” has set aside her needles, my workshop is closed, and it is time to pick up the “pen” (er…keyboard) once again. I wish those of you who are returning to classrooms a smooth beginning to your year, and the rest of you contentment in your work, or retirement, or travels.

Best wishes, and much love!

The Quill (Tony) and the Quilter (Sandy)

  5. Now you two try hard not to upset any leprechaun’s or come back speaking with a charming Irish lilt!

    We LOVED Ireland! So much history jam-packed into every inch of it…and where else could you see a sign by the wayside that said “Castle for Sale`…

    Enjoy!
