Well, the holidays are winding down and now I am getting ready to really move back to California.  I am not ready to say goodbye to my friends yet!! I just cant.  I had a lovely dinner with John and Marlene and made plans to see the 1st Emperor exhibition at the British Museum with them a few days before I fly home.

I am not good at goodbyes.  I go all 'opium' and fuzzy.  then a week later I find myself sighing, sad, missing them.  But it is a great excuse to come back and visit!
