Love your last posting from sunny Portugal! You lucky dogs,You! No Trump shananagans there I imagine or Gruesome Republican legislation ready for both the funny farm or pre-history. We are rooting for you total success there. As for us, we have exactly two weeks before the movers come and empty out hour house (since 1991!). We will retreat to Florence SC for two weeks of R&R and then we'll motor on up to Oak Park. Email us...no change in that address. Love! karen & Jon

Janna, this is fabulous. Your description of the plane trip was so relatable. It is good to be back on solid ground, and in such a beautiful place. If you decide to busk in Portugal, I know they will be grateful.

Delighted to learn you released the woman in Stu's wine glass. I was worried!

And I love the name Portu-geezers. Made me laugh out loud!

Enjoy your adventure!

Thank you! We didn’t have a lid, so we had to let her go.

I do hope the Portu Geezers do find a ukulele and entertain others ( and themselves).
