On this special day of Love, I hope that no one has been disappointed!

I hope that your card(s) were well received; that you swallowed your Scrooge inclinations and paid the exorbitantly inflated prices for Roses; that the chocolate-covered strawberries are eaten; and that at some stage today your hearts beat just a little faster because of LOVE …

Oh my! It’s good to be back and by that introduction I need to re-hone my writing skills to once more amaze and amuse you with tales from our latest road trip!

And what an adventure we have ahead of us! We set off this morning on a really fun trip that will see us cover some 3,000 miles over a five-week period. We are heading to Tucson, Arizona where we will participate in our first-ever Tiffin Motor Home rally where we have both volunteered our services to do who knows not; from there we go to Bullhead City, Arizona to check-out the area; onto St. George and Moab in Utah, Durango in Colorado, Albuquerque in New Mexico, Lubbock in Texas and back home!

On-board are the usual suspects: he who must be obeyed (ha, ha, ha!), Miss Poppy-dog and kitties Abigail, Archer and Artie. Very sadly we lost Miss Holly on New Year’s Day and even though she was with us for such a short space of time, she has left a void for everyone! We are searching for a replacement, but that said, I am a firm believer that pets find you and not the other way around!

 

Off to the Races:  me holding the best-ever Kitty Valentine balloon and in the fridge is strawberry-cream cake and my favourite wine! Well done Mr. Valentine!
