Eunice...

This is my grandmother's cousin's wonderful and delightful daughter, "Auntie" Eunice. She isn't usually up for company, however when she found out Elizabeth's granddaughter was in Wales from America, she wanted a short visit. She lives in a small village in Wales. Along with visiting her we also visited with Clive and Daisy. In the picture is Me, Auntie Eunice, cousin Ann and her husband Bob. We really enjoyed all the visiting we did on this day in Wales. Family is family no matter how many miles or years go by, family will always be family. I miss visiting with them. Can't wait for them to come to America and to go back and visit all of them.

So funny, when Ann knocked on the door and she answered, Eunice didn't recognize her. She then told her that she had put on weight. Good laugh... Ann hasn't put on any weight....

Okay....

Okay, everyone tells me I should have jet lag. I do believe it will hit while I am riding in the car headed to Tennessee. >>>>>>> SLEEP... well I sleep really well last night. I think I am caught up and I feel great.

On the Road again......

Yes I am getting prepared to go on the road again. Isn't this terrible. Got Mom's hair done for her. Car all cleaned out. Laundry all done from my last trip. I will have about 12000 miles on my bum by the time I get done traveling, May 26th..... I am hibernating for at least a month when all is done.

First meal in a British Pub...

Katelyn had her first meal in a British pub while we were in Bath England.

Mother's Day spent in England

Mother's Day I was spending in England with Lara, Chris and Katelyn. I will post site seeing pictures later. We had a wonderful dinner at ~Maze~ one of Gordon Ramsey's places. Prices very high.... You paid for each item individually. Great meal and thanks for the surprise Chris, Lara and Katelyn. LOVED IT!

 The staff were great to us....Katelyn held by them and treated special.

 Our beginners ~ Ribs ~ Chris wishes he had gotten this recipe.

 Cole slaw I ordered. Chris loved it and he doesn't like cole slaw. I can tell this here... He got to go into the Ramsey kitchen and meet the chef.

 Lara and Chris shared this steak.

 My pork chop.

 Lara and I had bread pudding with caramel banana.

Chris' dessert - chocolate ice cream

Happy Mother's Day

To all of my many family members in the USA (and UK even tho yours was last month ~ celebrate again today!  Happy Mother's Day. I am spending a wonderful day with a few family members. Will be a very fun filled day, with lots of history. Love it! Happy mother's day to those that a mom's that are not family members. Have a sun filled day with family and friends.

Sailing the English Channel

White Cliffs of Dover

Ferried across the English Channel. What a beautiful site when we got to the White Cliffs of Dover.

Angry cloud?

Can you see the face in this cloud?

How about a....

How about your own private "pool" in your bedroom bath?

This was the tub in our hotel room. Katelyn had her own private pool. With Katelyn is our friend from England, Donna.

Something....

Something I have noticed in Europe, they don't use ice in their drinks. Some places have it and will add it to your glass. McDonald's has ice; however it is a little, plop. I don't see how they can drink soda pop warm. Also in a little cafe in Germany, they listed coca cola on the menu and served it in a Pepsi glass. The only Mountain Dew you can find is the energy. Wow... this was a tough trip for me.... one month without an ice tea.....

New experience

Okay.... we went bowling while on our trip. It was an experience... The pins where on strings. I have never seen pin setters like this before. One couple that where with us said they were also like that in England... so I guess just us crazy Americans have our "fancy" pin setters.

Rained in Bath; so....

Rained in Bath; so we just sat! We sat and talked. Ann went and had her hair done. Bob is waiting for his new greenhouse to arrive. Bob took lots of wonderfl pictures for us so I will share them with you in this post.

 Ann, Bob and Me sitting for our first dinner together.
