All I got is four minutes.

And isn't that the truth. We all want everything to happen in four minutes, or NOW..... I love
this song. I first heard it on my friend Kelly W.'s video. Now I hear it on television commericals
on Ellen. Ellen dances to it at the beginning of her show.

Less than 25 days before we fly to London. I am getting so nervous. I hope if something prevents us from going, it is covered by our insurance. Ha..... My exchange student just emailed me with
information on what her four children enjoy. Sophie likes puzzles. David likes cars and trains. Hannah loves dolls. And I guess new baby Amy is too young yet to play with toys. Maybe a stuffed animal. I hope I can get english toffee for my friend Andrea. Maybe they will let me
mail it right from the candy store. Cost a fortune but better than trying to sneak it on the plane.
I know that when we leave England, i will be all depressed for weeks when I get home. I can't explain it, but England feels like where I should be. Its some sort of strange deja vue thing.
Maybe I will buy a real english teapot this time. Bring some of England home with me. And one of those toast racks like they have on the tables. My husband works for IBM and I noticed the IBM building in London is only a few blocks from our hotel. I must walk by and get a photograph of that. I belong to a bloggers group and they are always getting bent out of shape and leaving
and getting hurt feelings. I don't understand any of that. Why can't people all just get along
and leave their ego's at home. And I know my friend Kelly does not have an inflated ego bone
in her entire body. If anything, she does not even realize how talented she really is.

One month and ten days.

Until we fly to London. I am getting nervous now. Not nervous about flying. Nervous about leaving my two dogs. Not really nervous about the puppy. He will still go on the paper. Nervous
about my big dog. We have not gone anywhere without her in years. I have my son and his
wife coming over to feed them. But we have to put the big dog over at our other house where
there is a doggie door. (at my Mom's house behind us)

I want to go to Liberty of London store, Hamleys toy store, have pizza balls at Pizza Express,
see the changing of the guards, go up in the eye, see Trafalgar Square, The London Tower, and crown jewels. Maybe go to Covent Garden Market.

I am reading The heart shaped box and it is spooky. It has been raining here for two days.
I mean raining all day long. Maybe South Florida will be out of the drought after this. They
said Lake Okeechobee is filling up. I am sure I spelled that wrong.

My hollyhock buds are bursting. One looks like a purple maroon. I will be sure and post some
photographs here. I hope they bloom before I leave next month.

Life is pretty quiet right now. Later. Here is a hummingbird photo that I took with my Panasonic camera.
