K is for KNICKERS and KNACKERED
Hi from Wales, everyone! I'm happy to announce we shall be home Wednesday - all things going well. I must say, though, that we are both completely knackered from traveling and from all the stress of DL having had surgery requiring a 3-week stay in the hospital. We will both be needing a lot of sleep in the next week or so. One good thing was that I had packed so many knickers that I only had to do a couple of loads of laundry!
Another good thing, too, was that DL was well enough to accompany me to the home of his ancestors, Wales, to stay with my friend Jane and to see that Great Britain is much more than just London. The green hills, the friendly people, the delicious lamb and other delicacies have helped to soften his mood and give him a better perspective on the entire country. I have lots and lots of material to share with you over the coming weeks and months - maybe even years!
In the meantime, we have decided that we will look into getting a female yellow lab puppy when we feel rested enough to deal with a "baby." Now to find a name for her! Any ideas?
Just to let you know, too, that I did meet up with the kind-hearted Mrs. Nesbitt. Tea and scones were served in her kozy kitchen beside her new kooktop. And - she does not have knobby knees. Klick HERE to check out other contributions to ABC Wednesday!

Ooh, a puppy! That will make up for the stress you`ve been through, and will keep you laughing as well as exhausted.
My sister used to breed labs, so I`ve met many a lab puppy, and never met one I didn`t like.
However, if you don`t find a lab pup who is ready when you are, you might consider a golden girl. Our Lindy is the light of our lives.

labs are nice, but golden retrievers are my faves too
We had a wonderful yellow lab for many years....Sam was the best friend! He would let children climb all over him and never did realize that his always wagging tail could be dangerous! The only downside was the shedding! Yikes! Get a very good vacuum. So glad DL is doing better and spirits are higher!
How great that you had an opportunity to enjoy your visit to the UK. I always feel happy when I am in Great Britain.
I wish you a happy return home.Take care and relax!
Oh what an adorable puppy!!!!! My kids are dying for us to get a dog - but you know who's going to take sole care and responsibility for it!!!! And, I just don't have the time (and I travel a lot - which is no fun for the dog...)
Good luck with a name!
Leslie, I'm so glad you have had a good vacation or should I say Holiday?
Sorry your dear L. had to have surgery, but am glad to hear you still got to travel and that he is recovering.
Can't wait to see all your fabulous photos when you return.
glad to hear everythings going well and that you'll soon welcome a new addition.
I'm so glad that you were both able to go to Wales in spite of your DL's health problems. Can't wait to see the new puppy when you get it. Golden labs are great dogs. Carver, ABC Wed. Team
Oh what, it must be a fun meet up with Denise!

I'm so glad you have had a 'happy issue out of all your afflictions'!
A puppy and a meeting with Denise, - wonderful compensation for all your problems.
Knickers and knackered are not words in my everyday vocabulary, but they sure are fun.
Hi Leslie,it was wonderful to meet you and your lovely friend Cathy, I'm so glad that you enjoyed your stay in my beloved hometown of Liverpool UK. I sincerely hope that you and DL will be able to revisit the UK again and incorporate another visit to Liverpool, there are so many other places in and around the city, we would like to show you, and not forgetting, the long promised dinner at Chez Trubes!
much love Di..xxx
Knackered or not, it looks like you had an unbelievable time. Meeting up with Denise must have been a super treat! Anxious to see many pics to come.

Glad you had a great visit...A name I am enamored of is ABCD (Rhymes with rhapsody)♫♪
Ah, so the puppy question is resolved!
Being British, I love when 'knackered' shows up anywhere...people look at me oddly when I use it here.
And the puppy is beautiful. The first name that came to my head was Sugar Bean, even thought sugar doesn't come from beans...lol. I still think Bean would be a great name for your new baby, and a short name makes training them easier, I've learned from experience.
Beauty... because she will be beautiful !
Ha - a girl can never have too many knickers! Glad you had a nice toime in Wales.

Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was
wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

issues. Whenever I take a look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine
however, when opening in I.E., it has some overlapping issues.
I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other than that, fantastic website!
