Girl Gone to Greece


LIAM AMONG GREEK PILLOWS AND TILES
I knew about the world early on because my father subscribed to National Geographic. Additionally my Dad worked for TWA ( Trans World Airlines for Gen Z) which meant we flew for free. We lived in a city housing project, did not own a car and both my parents worked to support us. But I had been to Europe way before any of my friends. 
There are places I still have to see. And I will be seeing them in October
The place I have most wanted to visit is Greece
 for ages

The boys stay home
Paul is currently not in travel mode and Liam is a dog

My mother Ruth (Ruthless) often traveled alone
meeting friends in Spain and other parts of the world as well as parts of our country or meeting no one at all
she did it well into her eighties
people wanted to accompany her... she declined
she loved solo
do I have that DNA?









I don't want to travel totally alone
I am invited
 am accepted
thank you friends




I have a fave dress...I did not realize why it is a fave
I knew it reminded me of something pleasant
oh
 the Greek Flag
not bringing it
too obvious

Woof, Woof
