Loving the little "history tour". You always take us to such exciting places...places that most of us will never have an opportunity to visit. And we always get to learn about cuisine from so many different cultures.
You bring everything to life for us and make us all feel like we are right with you! And I love listening in on the conversations among Pedro, Woody, Palamo and Eurydice! Each photo, each expression, are completely in sync with their conversations!
The tribute withThe Peace Tree was quite touching. ❤
And seeing Palamo as a lap puppy...OMD!! SOOOOO CUTE!!!!! She certainly has a lot of lanky legs to try and find room for on laps! Those ears! Those jowls!! That beautiful, beautiful, face! Love her!!
One of my favorite parts of these most recent posts.....seeing Dad interacting with Woody and Pedro!. Dad's a good sport!!😂🤣🤣😂
Looking forward to some more great adventures!!
Love and hugs
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
I am finally caught up... you guys have been busy busy!! I also love the history lessons. It is one thing to read in a book, but when you write about it as you are right there with pictures it's pretty wonderful! And the bantering back and forth between Paloma, Woody and Pedro is hysterical.
That bed and breakfast that you stayed at was gorgeous! I was laughing out loud when breakfast time came, lol 
I am enjoying this so very much, and Paloma is just growing in leaps and bounds 
Thank you for sharing these adventures with us, I look forward to reading when I see there are new posts!
Lots of love and tons of hugs,
Jackie and Huck
Hugs,
Jackie, Bo, Andy, Oscar, Phoebe, and the coolest feral tripawd kitty Huckleberry

Thank you sooooo much for your kind words 💓💓💓
I am sorry I've been away for quite a while but Angel Eurydice decided it was time for me to travel with her and have some Angel's adventures, she took me in her back and I have had the most fabulous time visiting all of your Angels up there in the sky 🌟
Angel Jerry is such a good sports and boy, oh boy, can he fly like the wind, him and Angel Eurydice are always competing for who will land on the fluffiest cloud first 🤣 but sometimes they go so fast they zoom through the clouds and that's when we have a downpour down here ☔️☔️☔️
Angel Myrtle is the sweetest and has prepared a feast of deer poop, I never, ever thought something as delicious existed 😛
Angel Fallon is as goofy as Angel Eurydice and they made me laugh until my jaw hurt, those two are the biggest clowns 😂
Angel Nitro is sooooooo handsome, I became partial to Dobbies, he took me in his back to see the wonderful ring his Mom proudly wears now, "it is me Paloma, Nitro said, it is me sparkling like a star in Mom's finger 💎"
Angel Pofi zoomed around fast and furious as happy as a bunny and was flying up and down staircases made of really heavy clouds, he says it reminds him of when he was the world champion stair handler on three 🏆
Angel Sassy had her lion costume on, she looked extremely cute plus she is sooo friendly 💓
Angel Isa kept flying around us laughing histerically and told me all about sky counter surfing ...
Angel Shelby and Angel Maggie were ever so excited at seeing a Mini Cow in the sky!
Of course, Angel Shelby wore a trillion costumes each more beautiful than the last and Angel Maggie supervised the wardrobe choices (huge task as Angel Shelby's wardrobe takes up an enormous Cumulus Cloud)
Angel Murphy was clowning around and was in charge of getting the band ready for the fab dance evenings ...
Angel Manni could not be more excited and even if he normally likes to keep himself to himself in his private cloud this time he was flying around like a lunatic welcoming his great niece-in-law 😉
Angel Pie organised and prepared the menus for the zillion pawties and kept a very close eye on the freshness of the produce on offer (apart from deer poop which is Angel Myrtle's department 😉)
Oh boy, I cannot even begin to describe how ALL of your Angels are sooo marvellous and I am sorry if I can't mention them all individualy right now ...
They are ALL great fun and everybody assured me their family is the best 😉😅
So now I am back and just landed at this hotel in Provence.
I can smell Angel Eurydice all over the place ...
