Less than 24!

As the clothes tumble in the dryer, I sit taking one last look at our plans, the budget, and my shrinking list of things to do! It is 10:52 and tomorrow, we will be readying for landing in Chicago at O'Hare... brings your trays and seat backs to the upright position!

Thoughts toss around in my brain as the dryer's contents: pick up medicines (back endurance through chemical support...), head to the bank, get the yard watering and pool fixing finalized, DOG FOOD, and finish packing! Somewhere in the frenzy, we will stop by to give Jillian hugs, kisses, and information since she was called to counselor-coaching duty for Coach Chisum's Summer Volleyball Camp.

My hopeful intention was to call and see everyone before we left, but for those who know me... intentions do not always become realities. Know that you will be with us in our thoughts over the next three weeks. At some special moment, chanel handbags an experience in Italy will remind us of you and we will smile with memory. If I am clear-headed, I will let you know in this blog.

Today, plans for a day trip to Anzio-Nettunio were molded. What better place for my armchair war historian than the American Cemetery and Memorial? Link: Rome-Sicily Cemetery.

Mmm- the dryer stopped and the coffee smells inviting. I will pick this up after crossing the Atlantic.

My parents gave me the love of the sea.replica watches When my toes hit the sand, my heart leaps and rushes with the beat of the waves. I am home.
