UP, UP & AWAY! 06/19/00

Subject: Up, up & away!
Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 07:07:02 EDT

A very early morning posting (one of the advantages to waking up throughout the night and early morning) from a half-awake Grammie Kay to say, "Happy trails!" to all my friends who are heading off today or tomorrow.

Let's see... lots and lots of my fellow church members are heading up to Canada for our worldwide General Assembly. (What a treat yesterday to see Cara & Andy Dibb and their three children - Malcolm, Meghan and Laird – at the pageant, in town from South Africa, where Andy ministers, on their way to the Assembly.) Friends are flying down to my beloved Bermuda tomorrow and will be piloting a yacht back - nice work, if you can get it! My psychologist and her psychiatrist husband are heading down to Nashville for the Unitarian National Assembly.

Of course, my Australian friends are in the midst of winter, so summer vacations are a bit away - but they are getting geared up for the Olympics!

So much bustling about, My summer travel wish list is short & sweet – just our annual nip across New Jersey to Spring Lake, so I can see the ocean.

Dear friends - may your travels be happy and safe, wherever they may lead. I will think of you from the big chair in the living room.

Safe journeys – KRL

ps ~ The summer tree made its debut yesterday, on schedule. The bunnies and cards and spring flowers are down and sea shells & squirrels & silk roses & bumble bees & butterflies (scheduled to take a rest, I asked that they stay up) & one large pink dragonfly now grace its branches. Postcards from vacationing friends would give it much needed energy.
