Oh The Places I've Been...

I've been very absent the last coupla weeks.  It's been lovely mostly, but the hostage crisis in Venezuela I wouldn't wish on anyone.

The best was, of course, nursing George Clooney's broken heart at his lovely villa on Lake Como in Italy.  He begged and begged for me to go along with him and what could I say?  NO?  Like hell I'd miss out on the wonderful Italian lake district and well, George!  

Nuff said...

Seriously though, I've been savoring a short trip to North Carolina.  Asheville was a delightful mountain community.  I put a bid on the Biltmore Estate and it was accepted LOL.  I may have to extend my escrow for 30 or so years to get the money together, but I want it!  A nice little place to retire to.

On the other hand, I bought some souvenirs and 6 hanks of a yummy wool yarn at Yarn Paradise in Asheville.  I think it's too bad it isn't my local shop or I'd be keeping them in business for years to come.

I'm not looking forward to the flight home, but it is a necessary evil for those who like to travel across country...pray for legroom!
