Bags are packed

And I'm ready to go (okay, forgive me.  If you are older than fifty, you get my reference here).

But I am ready to go.  In spite of mournful dogs and a husband who is probably rejoicing that the food police will cease and desist. 

I wouldn't blame him.

I leave with so many prayers and good wishes that I am humbled and overwhelmed.

Thank you, everyone.  I probably won't be able to post while I'm over there (I'll be back on 2/7) but I will have a plethora of wonderful stories and photos for you when I return.

Maybe even a few recipes as well!
