I'm on my way to Tucson as my Dad is having knee surgery so I'm effectively 'in communicado' (assuming it's spelled that way!) this week. Tune in next week when I will be back online!
Cheers
Clare

Have a safe journey. I'll say a prayer for your Dad.
Hate knee surgeries. You're a good daughter. You and your family are in my prayers.
Safe journeys to and from, Clare, and best wishes for your dad. I am amazed at the progress and improvements which have been made upon knee surgical procedures in the past 30 years. What used to involve a hospitalization of several days is now done on an outpatient basis, and the recuperation time is down to weeks rather than months as well. Hope all goes fine!
Blessed travels and best wishes to your Dad.
Every time I hear "in communicado" I think of an episode of Stargate and Col. Jack O'Neill. Jack & Teal'c are on their way off base for a vacation of fishing and Jack tells the General:
"We're leaving, sir. We'll be unavailable. Inaccessible--"
"In Communicado," the General states.
"Minnesota, sir." (Jack)
Sorry. Corny I know. But I love it just the same. 8-)

Hope all is well with your Dad!
BTW--Tucson is one of my most favorite places! Went to college there. Met my husband there. That town rocks!
