Long Distance With Linda

This song just gets me into vacay mode! 

Important things I get together…of course the pink bag is a must travel bag! 

The folder with the oranges holds our entire itinerary and all the important paperwork and is done by day.

Some of my fun books I have stocked up on.

This precious little girl named Kylie visits us at least once a year, maybe more, but her parents do some serious house and pet sitting for Lilli and she always calls our house “Lilli’s House.” We have prepared so many fun things for Kylie’s visit including her super love for miniature Haagen Daz ice cream.  The pool has all the rafts and chairs blown up, cleaned and the pool gets heated for her.  Kylie has become part of our serious trip prep. 

Just me smiling to Doug when we had finally settled down and had accomplished most of what we needed.  

                                            Don’t leave home without my devotionals and books that I have time

                                                             to sit still, listen, learn and pray. 

Just happened to see Stanley Tucci in Italy – Tuscany.  Perfect timing!

Doug and I started to enjoy special time together in these

Timeless Countries about 15 years ago and we have never looked back. We find a reason to celebrate so much because these moments are precious and not frequent.  

These beauties I am going to miss not seeing them especially with all their end of the year activities.  Aren’t they just magnificent?  Family is always the most important and we will look forward to returning to them, our family, our church and our friends.  

                          This will be the first place we are visiting after we land in Rome as we are taking a day trip to this amazing area.  Actually visiting Montepulciano and then a magnificent and expansive winery. Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We hope you will join us in this journey and we will share our hearts along the way.  Until then Ciao and see you soon!
