Have a great time celebrating your grandmother's 100th. You are so lucky to still have her.<br />We will see you soon.<br />Love you!<br />RAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921383262972342547.post-56913322407401050302010-07-29T15:59:45.788-04:002010-07-29T15:59:45.788-04:00Reba, so nice to see another blog filled with such...Reba, so nice to see another blog filled with such unique adventures in a far away land about the experiences you and Mary and Ella are having. It is hard to really imagine all you are seeing and doing, so many names of places we have never even heard of! As for Ella being the 1st to master squatting, could have predicted that - if she would have been born first, Mary and Rachel probably would never be able to keep up with her! And I still can't get over Mary trekking all that way without a horse or you too for that matter. You must be in better shape than you think, mentally and physically! You really are a world away from here, the little suburban life with grocery shopping, laundry, and dinners on the deck looking at the little Blue Ridge Mts etc...Rosie says hello and miss you and the girls to say nothing of Carl although he and the rest of us are hanging tough and we miss you very much. With the last start to the new school year, you and the girls will have more time to rest when you return (sorry to talk about it as I am sure you are still trying to do as much as you can before you leave) and sit on the deck to tell us all of your tales and show us all of your treasures. Rachel and I are off on our last vacation this summer tomorrow, off to spend the better part of a week in Outer Banks to celebrate my grandmother's 100 birthday with a 50 relatives in two beach houses, 15+ kids, a pregnant sister (its Ashley, don't panic), and too many adults to count. Rachel will meet her cousins from Alaska for only the second time in her life. Safe travels back and hopefully we will see you the week of the 9th of August!

Reading all the entries from you and your fellow travelers is better than anything the Travel Channel has to offer!!! Can't wait to see and talk to all of you when you return.

I love hearing about how "at home" they've quickly become and it's obvious the gifts you are enjoying watching them during this trip.<br />I can't wait to hug you and hear so many, many stories.

I only "know" you, Mary and Ella, but through the wonderful blogs from the rest of the team, I feel like I know everyone. Its been like reading an incredible short novel and I'm so glad to have some more chapters to read! Glad you all are safe and happy - but for heaven's sake, PLEASE quit talking about those baked snickers!!!! : ) See you soon!

Take care and enjoy the "comforts" of KTM. Shower the girls with hugs and kisses for me, I can't wait to hear more about your and their travels! <br />CarlCarl Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774922091930460232noreply@blogger.com
