Gone

I am off to California today. To visit another branch of my family.My third son and his family. If I had been able to get out  to Canada as well this winter, to see my Eldest son, I would have seen all five of my children this year.

But poor Eldest Son –   I think I may have run out of winter.   Though, you never know, we may yet get him and his wife and their avalanche dogs out HERE for a holiday in 2015.  Families are all so international now. Is this the same for you?  I know many of you have children or parents in different parts of the world or the country. America is a very big country.  The world? Well what can I say.  But today I am off to the Central Valley in California, where there are orchards and there is warm sun. 

So tomorrow begins another  series  of our Fellowship Guest Posts.  I am thrilled with the line up. It IS INternational. (Though we lost the Australian connection to internet woes and bush fires -not necessarily in that order).  But tomorrow to begin one of our Fellows will show us her family’s German farm.  {[(Viv and co:  is that apostrophe right and for the record if we put a full stop outside of a bracket and it looks complete  – why does a question mark outside of a bracket look silly)?  (well?) ]}. Anyway for the next five days I become a comment-er! Wonderful.

See you in the Lounge of Comments. 

Jake is ready to take over in my absence  and The Cadet and I worked yesterday afternoon to  get everything in order. She will have responsibilities as well while I am away. I am hoping for no surprises. I am away seven days.  I worry. I know you worry too.  But we must not worry.

I have good people. Things happen when they happen.

I hope you have a lovely day.

Tara! Love your friend – once more travelling.
