Hi Kittie,
Margaret recommended your blog. Hope you are well. Maybe we will see you this summer.
Thanks, Mr. Coad! We traveled safely home yesterday, and I am looking forward to catching up with friends over the summer.
Kittie, I am having so much fun catching up on your blog! You write so eloquently that once I finish reading a post, I want to start over and read it again. I hope the rest of your trip goes excellently!
Thank you, Margaret! The blog has been a good challenge for my writing; I’m flattered that you enjoy it so much.
I just caught up on your blog from Spain today, and it was a delight to read. You have an excellent eye for details, and I enjoyed seeing videos along with photos.
