Leaving on a jet plane for England Aug 27, to see her.
Cannot wait to get there.
It will be a blast.
And i will make it at last.
We'll have a big party, over there with her family and all.
Just like she did in October over here in the Fall.
She visited me twice, as you know.
And from then on our friendship did grow.
We've been supportive of each other over the years.
And kept each other many times from the fears.
I'll meet Alan her hubby of many years.
And when i leave i'll surely be in tears.
This is a dream of a lifetime of mine.
And i'm sure over there the walking will be fine.
We'll visit castles, and much more of the countryside.
And in a cottage of her friend i will abide.
A boat ride up the Thames River is being planned.
And to that i will say it isn't being scammed.
We'll see where Shakespeare did live
And that will be so amazing a thing which he did give.
I know ill be coming home in tears.
But after all, over there i'll have no fears.
Only a good time to be had by us all.
And never never to forget it atall.

There really are some nice people in the world. Your humble gratitude is warm and gracious. May each day bring you some worthwhile activity and lots of joy.
Perfect for fans of Bill Bryson, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Cheryl Strayed, this is more than a travelogue—it's a hilarious and heartfelt journey for anyone who has ever wondered: "Is this it?"
Blessings to you...
Newfie hugs, Rose
