Just stumbled on to this report and loved it. Thank you.

Wonderful trip report!

tttt

When I just found this remarkable report, I couldn't imagine how I missed it in October, but realized that we were in Europe at that time.

The account of your trip is truly moving, amusing, and informative. Thank you!

And I, too, thoroughly enjoyed The Secret Life of Bees.

What a wonderful read on this grey cold morning. Thank you.

Until she's back and posting, I thought topping this would help get some positive thoughts about our dear friend flowing. Besides it is a fabulous trip report!

Nice idea, LadyofLeisure. This is a top-notch report, and bookchick is one of the all-time great treasures of this board. Let's all hope her current journey of healing gains some momentum and proceeds apace!

They say that the first rule of good writing is to have something interesting to say. This report certainly has that, and so much more.

Thanks, Lady, for bringing this up.
I started a thread a few weeks ago in the lounge when she told me that she's going in the hospital and I send her everyone's greetings, and get well soon messages from everyone who posts there.

I topped this post in honour of our dear friend BC..Hoping that someday soon she will be able to go back to her beloved city.
Get well soon Kathy..I will toss a coin at Trevi for you.

What a wonderful Lady!, Get well soon bookchick.xx

Wow! You guys are making me blush! I am back home now and recuperating and getting stronger each day. LadyofLeisure is actually in China right now but I think she's returning over the holiday weekend.

I'm hoping to return to Rome as soon as I can and to have my best friend and her daughter accompany me.

Thanks for all the good wishes.

BC

Welcome back, Bookchick, and so glad to hear that you are improving every day! You stay on that road to recovery and you will be in Rome before you know it.

Best wishes to you and take care.

Oh, I am so happy to see this! Thank you for letting us all know you are home and able to use the computer.
