    Nah, "Nanny and Pop, " as the kids call them are great and have already bought me a new car and have been discussing the possibility of a graduation vacation to England or somewhere of my choosing.

    Maybe Scotland or Ireland. Hubby's family is from England and Scotland. They are a VERY famous family, at least here in the U.S. And lives of thousands have been saved because of an invention of hubbys great-grandfather. So, I would like to see where the roots started.

    Seagrave, my hubby's great-grandfather invented the Seagrave fire truck. It was used in NY during 9/11, among other times and places.

    I think one of the best things about visiting england or Europe in general is the rich history it has. I mean America is so young and unless you go to the East Coast you don't really grasp it's history. I hope one day I can tour Europe, mainly because I am a history buff and it would be very enlightening... spiritually and intellectually

It is a WOW feeling here... Gods work... need a family presence... learning to love variety... now I understand where the girls were trained...

    I would love to visit the mediterranean, the old chapels and churches all over europe including Renne Le'Chateau, count the gargoyles on the buildings, visit Giza, etc and enjoy the kind of peace, culture, history and such that I have yet to enjoy.

    Oh OK, must admit sounds nice, doesn't it. Got confused as Egypt, Giza, isn't in the Med Sea, Europe, that's why.

    I was in Italy for 3 weeks over the summer. It was the most amazing experience of my life. I swear I could live there. The people are so kind and generous. The country is beautiful. Everything is so laid back, even when you are working. If someone said to me today I have tickets do you want to go... I would say yes and leave everything behind.
