We’re heading to Europe and are using a cat sitter for the first time. A little nervous about it, but I would be nervous regardless of using a cat sitter or boarding them.

Vacation pics look great! We love the Northeast... you should add Acadia/Bar Harbor to your "must see list". We just returned from 2 weeks in Japan. I got to see so many beautiful Japanese Gardens!! they are a favorite design style. Plus the food was amazing! Last visit to the NE I ate lobster 5 days in a row - lunch and dinner in some form - heaven! We're looking for somewhere to take a short trip in August - now I'm thinking NE again!

That sounds like a wonderful time - glad you enjoyed it. And will do - we'll get up there at some point! Lobster for days sounds like a dream! :)

I’m so happy you both got away for a few days! It’s so necessary for our mental & emotional health.

You asked about upcoming trips. We have two planned. In August we will meet another couple close to Rockville, IN. This is the third year we’ve done this. Gerry went to IU with Lynn & his wife & I became friends thru them. We rent a cabin for the weekend, enjoying the park setting, build a fire at night, regardless of the temperature, eat great food & catch up. They live in northern IN & we live in southern IN. There is a beautiful park about 5 minutes away, with great trails & canoe rentals. We’ve hiked there but the river has always been too shallow to canoe in August.

Now in September, we will be heading to Dominican Republic to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We are looking forward to it but also feeling a bit nervous. Praying we stay safe & come back home safe.

There you go! 🫶🏼

Headed to the French countryside beginning of September! I've only been to Paris so it will be a treat to see the small villages and hopefully find some truffles in the Perigord region!
