Hi Chris! Bought a new computer and in the process of transferring files I came across an old email. It sure has been a while... again! I love the pix of you with the champagne glass. Live the life, girl. So where are you these days? Are you working? Still in England? Please send a note when you have a minute and let's catch up. -T

Hello again!
Well, I'm so glad you've started your blog again. I've been rather worried about you and wondered whether you had disappeared in the Antarctic, saying "I'm going out. I'll be gone some time," or whatever it was Oates said! The suggestion that you should become a travel writer is a good one - but I think that I've suggested that before. I've booked another Martin Randall (Italy's Lakeside Gardens) next April. Michael was born on Lake Como and it would have been I 50th wedding anniversary, so it's a sort of pilgrimage. Love to hear from you again if you've got a moment.

I am so glad you are back online :)
I have been eagerly awaiting a new post! Chris, why are you not a travel writer? Darn you do it well and it makes me miss you even more. So sad that Jeremy did not get to go, a real bummer.

Hungarian Wine
I you ever return to Hungary, a visit to a wine cellar is a must. You literally desend into a underground tunnel to enjoy a great hungarian meal and all the wine you can drink. Its a great refreshement on a hot summer day.

Christine, I had no idea. really, you can know the lyrics after only three listenings? Your writing is fabulous. You sucked me right in and I danced that first dance with you, felt the after divorce pain, and enjoyed the wine with you after 02, felt the power of your love of music for sure. You need to write girl. excellent.

Chris: What a wonderful surprise to find your blog in my email this morning!I hadn\'t heard from you since your long sabbatical in Europe. I\'ve wondered what you\'ve been up to since you parted ways with Zurich, and hope you\'ve found something fulfilling and fun to do. I love the \"Billy Narative\". It rings a bell, since we inherited Meijse, an orange tabby, when Chris moved back home. You may (or not) recall that Chris (#2 son) had a serious stroke in August, 2004, and we relocated to Dallas for 9 months to be with him until he felt ready to go it alone. Finally, in April of 2007 he came back, and brought his cat with him. I\'m a cat person; Harry has always said he hates cats, but certainly couldn\'t refuse to let Chris bring her along. Now, after five years, he\'s the one who changes her litter box and makes sure the IAMS never runs low. Meijse has a sweet disposition, and is a snuggler and cuddler. Whoever said cats are aloof? We\'re both doing pretty well for a couple of VERY senior citizens. The Peripheral Neuropathy, with which I was diagnosed a number of years ago,is now manifesting the inevitable symptoms, and I have limited use of my hands and feet, and have little strength in my arms and legs. Fortunately, I have unbelievable support from Harry, my sister and my wonderful friends, and am able to keep up with nearly all the fun stuff I love to do. Harry has become my willing chauffer, and friends pick me up and manage my little walker so that I get to the Academy, to church, and to my regular lunch dates. And the boys installed Dragon (a speech to text program)in my computer, so I\'m able to keep up with my correspondence even though I\'m not able to write very well. All in all, I\'m a lucky woman. Harry had surgery in 2010 to replace his aortic heart valve, and has done incredibly well. In fact I have to keep reminding him that he isn\'t 35 any more and therefore shouldn\'t be shoveling stone dust or moving trees. Please keep in touch, Chris. My friends mean more and more to me every day, and I can\'t afford to lose a single one. Love, Flora
