My Boston Trip

Photobucket
 I love to visit our daughter and son in law...   Amanda is a Christian  scholar,    a scientist,  a violinist, pianist, and  a  perfect daughter,,,  but I do  believe one of her passions is   cooking...   it is  like  watching  a food network  show to  watch her cook up a pot of somethin!    And I  can  tell you this .. it will definitely be  fresh,  homemade,   savory, and  delicious...  and especially healthy!

Finally... the Trip

It is so glad to be  home  and   be able to  continue blogging.. I feel like  Im  so out of  sync  with  blogging  it is hard to know  where to start....  so  I  will start at the beginning..
Photobucket
My friend, Dottie  and I,    left for parts north    on June 23rd...   Her brother  Bill picked me up  at  5:30 am and we drove to  Lynchburg to catch the Northeast Regional  Amtrak  line for  Boston..It  left  the station  at  7;30...   this  was a huge adventure for me to be  going  solo  without  my husband...  I  was on my way to visit  Amanda and Joshua,, our daughter and  son- in law,  while  Dot  was going to  visit her friend in New Hampshire.We  enjoyed  a basically uneventful, 12 hour  ride,  only arriving  30 minutes  past our scheduled time...  I got off  near  Amanda's  home  while Dottie  traveled on to the Back Bay station in Boston proper..  I must say  that our  two way  fare  at $140.00   each  was a  huge  bargain....   and  I thoroughly enjoyed the  travel...  no worries about  boarding with  all our stuff... the train  conductors and other passengers  are  so nice about  helping.   I felt  like a seasoned traveler  as I waited at the station  before  I saw Amanda    coming up the escalator  to find me...but, oh what a  welcome sight....

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
