Farewell.....until I return

Almost time to leave for the other coast of this vast land.

I'll miss my home and garden........especially now the Morning Glories are blooming.


I'll even miss my kitchen hours preparing the local Summer harvest......with the best tomatoes ever.

Most of all I'll miss my friends, just meeting for a coffee and a chat, or a browse around a favorite 'treasure hunting' spot.


Will post from the Golden Gate Bridge, the most crooked street in the world, a special California lake, the Great Salt Lake, a high red butte, a mountain peak, Old Faithful...................well maybe not if there's no WI-FI.............but will hopefully find at least a few 'hot spots' along the way to keep in touch. Back in a couple of weeks.

Go West -------->


Travelling westward in an 1800's Conestoga covered wagon. Fun for more adventurous souls, a bit tough on those of us long in the tooth.
Of course one could at least pack more, including the kitchen sink, which I can never seem to fit in the overhead!


Golden Gate Bridge - San Francisco

Tomorrow I'm heading West with DH and 'travelling granddaughter' Jasmin. Our first stop will be San Francisco. This will be our final Summer trip..............then I hope to stay home for a while and do all the jobs/projects that have piled up lately.


A few relaxing 'on the water' days here with our dearest friends at Lake Almanor, Northern California.................

Grand Tetons National Park - Mt. Morant by Daryl Gibson

........then on to many other beautiful places such as Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Montana........

...........and of course Yellowstone National Park.

I hope to be able to keep in touch and post along the way, depending on WI-FI access. Having traveled to America's West several times, I know there is much scenery of amazing beauty to share with you.

Off to complete the packing and get an early night!
