And I was pretty much just blindly grabbing pictures with my camera because I couldn't see properly in the viewer. So pleased with what was captured. The light made the voyage out seem even more special. Like a blessing, really. Or a kiss before leaving on a journey.Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691575624480469934.post-572267193758223372012-10-15T12:06:22.706-03:002012-10-15T12:06:22.706-03:00Gwen,

That was no fun at all because it was noisy and there was no deck to go up on to. As for our destination this trip, if I say "Johnny Horton" (not to be confused with Horton Heard a Who) to you, does it ring any sleigh bells?

Yes, we got my mum all moved and comfortably ensconced in her lovely new condo. A few hiccups along the way, but nothing insurmountable. And what better way to celebrate a move than by...going away!
