Now that the adrenaline has stopped flowing and my aged body has fully realized the effects of jet lag, the loss of sleep on several occasions, and all the walking, climbing, and doing in the heat of the last 16 days, I can do little else at the moment but sleep and eat and sit. I have, however, managed to make progress on the unpacking, the dirty laundry, and the downloading of nearly 4000 photos. Unfortunately though it looks like it will be several more days before I’m able to read all your posts and make comments. In the meantime, I pray all continues to be well with you. Love, Natalie

**I found this gorgeous rose in a Flower Market in Paris just down the street from Notre Dame.


Do take it easy dear lady. It will take a while to get back into sync with the time zone here.

I despise jet lag and no what you are going through. Take time and baby yourself. It takes me over a week….

It can take quite a few days. I usually need at least 4 days until I’m ok after returning from Europe. Beautiful picture, I would imagine you have plenty of something special. Welcome home and take it easy!
