Wednesday, 14 July 2010 -- Day 206 (219)

Last week when dusting at Dad's I came across some pictures of a vacation that Mom, Dad, Ron, and David took to Beloit, WI. Along w/ the photos, Mom had written some notes as to each day's activities. The notes or pictures alone wouldn't tell the whole story but together the events come alive. Tomorrow Ron and I fly to London to set off on a two-week adventure in England and France. I'm going to use this blog during the next two weeks to record my observations of this vacation, and sometimes when we distance ourselves from close events and feelings we can see them more clearly. We'll see if an ocean apart can help me as I look for the illusive Lucy, and we'll see if it's easier to mourn from the other side of "the pond."
