my favorite things

Looks like I will have to finish my travel blogging after Christmas............it is taking more time than I realized!  Christmas is almost here and I must finish off all my shopping, decorating, baking, etc.!!!
I must say, that it has a been a special privilege to visit all those exotic lands and see how others live.............I will always have such warm memories of everywhere we went and of the people and animals that we met. Travel is a great teacher...........it makes us realize how lucky we are to live where we do but also that people everywhere have a lot more in common with us than we would ever think!

 I would like to wish all my wonderful followers the very best of the season and hopes for a much happier New Year for everyone everywhere!!!!

Hugs,
