Genie! I cannot exaggerate how much I'm enjoying your adventures in your new country! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

Writing about it and sharing the photos makes me less lonely. It's cathartic in a really good way, and helps me process things, put them in order. I can see why people love journaling! And I get to use my artistic side taking and cropping the photos. Win win. Thank you for letting me know you enjoy it! I will be using your lessons soon when I'm downsizing - release and let go. ;)

As always, dear Genie, I so enjoyed your delightful writing. Loved the photos! Especially the gorgeous sun up one… but, also that discombobulating road sign. Lucky you, to pop by the Sunday farmers’ market: gave ME a vicarious treat. I could almost smell the garlic, pickled beets, jams, vegemite (😜), and turmeric!

As for books and your library visits, I’ve just read Lonesome Dove, The English Patient; plus one about the fatal flight of the Hindenburg… Am into a Jacqueline Winspear now.

My topic for next year’s Junto paper is “Georgia O’Keefe”… talk about lucky! My friend/ new member got Barbra Streisand… our theme is something like Contemporary Arts.

Keep yourself warm and safe!

xoxo, Lucy B 😉🇺🇸🤩
