In reply to Kay. I was worried about Archie and am so relieved. I did pray for his full recovery and your news made me happy! Yes, I think for all you've been through, the vaccine company should take some responsibility. Love to you and Alan, dear Kay!

Hello Julie,
Just an update on our Archie Parchie!
After two weeks of being seriously ill, he has now fully recovered from the reaction to his annual vaccine. What relief!! We are both so very grateful for prayers for our little dog’s recovery. His health is priceless to us. However, our vet is going to try and get compensation from the vaccine company because they’d changed the formula of the serum and Archie is not the first dog to have had an adverse reaction. (Though the other dog reacted in a different way.) £600 of vet’s fees is quite a lot. xx

In reply to Kay in Cornwall. Oh Kay, reading about Archie made me sad. I pray the vet finds exactly what is wrong and can smooth his path to complete recovery! Our pets are such beloved family. Yes, I read about England going into lockdown. I can't imagine that preventing you from attending Louisa's wedding. Lord, please, please make a way. My love to you, dearest Kay.

Hello Julie,
I loved reading this post and I admit I felt very envious. Your trip sounded like heaven, apart from the toilet. 😉
We often say that it’s lovely to go away and just as lovely to return home to our own facilities.
Louisa is getting married on 10th December and we would so appreciate prayer for this wonderful occasion.
England is going into lockdown until 1st December, but there has been talk today of it being extended.
It’s bad enough not being able to be with Louisa during the planning (Wales is in lockdown until sometime later this month), but if we miss the wedding it will be so upsetting. Especially as we have abiding by ‘the rules’ whereas we know of so many who haven’t.
Also, our dear little Archie is very poorly. He was admitted to the vets’ last Tuesday because he had a high temperature of 39.9 degrees. During that day his temperature reached 40.7!
Archie’s temperature dropped to 39.4 by the end of the day and he was able to come home with us, but he is not well.
He will only eat chicken! Normally he gobbles up anything. He is so very lethargic and depressed looking. We will take him back to the vets tomorrow (Monday) for another check-up. Please pray for our little fur baby.
xxxxx

In reply to Nancy Roney. We have missed our Indian Summer here, Nancy. My favorite part of fall, when it's warm and dry and colorful during the day, then cold and crisp at night. I would love to take a train ride to Canada someday. Did you and your husband do Amtrak? I also would love to visit your part of the country more thoroughly someday -- what you've shared sounds so lovely. God bless your weekend, friend. xoxo

Thank you for your lovely post. I wish my late husband had liked camping or spending time in cabins but he didn’t. He wasmore into long train rides and historic hotels. Your refuge for yor anniversary looks heavenly to me. It looks wonderful. weather here in New England is fine. We are in what used to be called Indian Summer. I think the temps today were 68. I am hoping for more of this weather to do more bike riding. Salem is gearing up for Halloween even though the city cancelled it because of Covid-19. Salem is a destination in itself. The street to the house filmed in Hocus Pocus has been closed as too many fans go there. I am going with my son to Williamsburg on Sunday by train. The train goes direct from Boston to Williamsburg. Will visit Jamestown and Yorktown settlements. There is supposed to be scenic drive connecting Williamsburg and Yorktown about 28 miles. Virginia is lovely especially the Shennandoah Valley. Once Visited Harpers Ferry. If you ever go that area of the country is is beautiful. Happy Anniversary to you and Lloyd. God bless you both and your familes.
