In June, Trish went with her niece, Amy, and Amy's two kids, Jack and Siena, for a National Geographic Family Adventure to Scotland. They arrived a couple of days before the actual group tour started so they could recover from jet lag and take in the sites of Edinburgh. After the Scotland Adventure, they went to London for a few days. To say it was the trip of a lifetime is an understatement. Photos don't do it justice.

Trish and I were video messaging while she was partaking of the Mash. She wanted to throw the bottle away. I told her she had to bring it back. You all know why!

<<Loch Ness Monster(s)? ;-)

Monster Mash. Wish she could have brought the bottle back full!>>

In London

Trish really enjoyed touring through Selfridges department store. If you are a Masterpiece Theater fan, you may have seen the series on the rise and fall of Mr. Selfridge. It ran for three seasons.

In October, Trish and went on what is becoming a yearly “Thelma and Louise” trip. This year's jaunt was to Hot Springs, AR—the long way. The trip was a little early for the trees' leaves to be changing, but a great time was had by both girls.

The Talimena Drive is a regionally famous excursion noted for spectacular fall foliage. Unfortunately, Trish and Jami were a bit early :-(

My Travels

First I went to Omaha for my nephew Zack's wedding, where we learned my mother is now a great great grandmother to be. Then I went to my brother Randy's (just north of Kansas City, and in the zone of totality) to see the eclipse, Later, I took my mother up to Randy's for her 92nd birthday bash.
