It means more than you realise. We are in transit, living with my mom for two weeks before we fly on the 13th of April. I am excited but also shyly expectant of that which thsi new life holds and very definitely sad to be leaving so much love behind. <BR/><BR/>I hope that you are well. <BR/><BR/>Had a meeting with Wendy Kilfoil (she used to be at Unisa) last week. She reminded me of you. <BR/><BR/>I hope that you are well. Blessings for the week ahead. <BR/><BR/>CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17957834646085933322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860978377787658235.post-74171367848516008212009-04-06T06:14:00.000+02:002009-04-06T06:14:00.000+02:00Dear EleanorI hope you don't mind.

We have some lovely gardens close to home and I'm hoping to take pictures as soon as the weather warms. One of my favorite things is to wander through art museums and we are close to New York, Washington, DC and Philadelphia and their wonderful art museums.
