I am so grateful to have Google Reader, which makes it easier to catch up with my favorite bloggers after getting behind while roadtripping. Missed you!

Indeed, a lot has happened and what a century the 20th was. I can only imagine what the 21st will bring. Right now, post people seem to be ruling the roost here in the States. I’m so pleased to hear you enjoyed this one, John.

Travelling west, Port (the left side of the ship ) faced south, therefore getting the sun during the day. On the home journey, the starboard side (the right) got the sun. The rich folk paid for cabins on these sides of the ship, and their luggage was marked P.O.S.H, so they became known as the posh people.
A rare visit, Penny. Such a lot has happened in our lives. But I did enjoy this post.
John
