Hi Ladies,
Sorry this is long..... :cute:

I am back in the good ole' US of A! I had such a marvelous trip. I would bore you with all the details...but oh, what a great adventure!

I LOVED meeting Frankiesue! I would so like to live near her, as I think we could talk and laugh for hours and hours. What an incredible treat to meet Sue - and oh how she spoiled me with gifts!!!! I am attaching a photo of shea nd I and another of us with our girls.
(as a side note- the girls were both there to kind of protect their moms from "a person they met on the internet"...funny - and then they went off shopping together....I dont know if they approved of us or if they just thought we were both stamping nuts who deserved each other!! lol)

I ended up having very little time on the internet, so I have not read the many posts...if Sherri kept notes I'll definitely be reading those.

Some of the highlights: I did fall in love with London, and the Lourve (sp?) in Paris, and seeing my dd, meeting Frankiesue, meeting lovely people, being awe struck by the choral evensong at St Pauls Cathedral (oh, the angelic voices of worship......).

I so enjoyed my trip...I even did some work, went to a couple of classes/meetings and got my way out of being lost several times and figured out how to buy another phone after I killed mine with the wrong converter...
anyway...I'm glad to be back. I missed all of you.

Welcome home Cheryl. It's good to hear that you enjoyed your trip so much and of course it's always an extra treat to meet up with a fellow "Shackie".

Welcome back!! Did I take notes? You bet i did... like 50 pages! LOL

We were very chatty while you were gone.

I even emailed you the notes. How's that for personal service? They are also on the Stamp Shack here somewhere.

I shall go check my email and then stroll through the pages I've missed here...THANK YOU, SHERRI!!! wowie zowie!
As for the food, I had rice and vegetables and chicken (after I learned the British names for vegetables common to me) Sue- what did you eat? The bottles are water..you have to buy water everywhere....such a strange concept to me.
I'm so nutty that if I drank wine, Lord only knows what a ditz I'd be!

It sounds like a wonderful trip. So happy you got to go. That's so funny that your dd's were there to protect you both and then went off shopping together.
