Mama Burk is coming to France!

With recent changes in events, I have decided that I need to cool it on the vacations. :) So, I have decided to stay a little closer to Nantes, thus, saving me lots of money. As a result, it has been arranged to send the mama bird out of her nest for the first time in her life! I'm sure she went with trembling hands to obtain a passport this morning and I will be seeing her the weekend before Thanksgiving. Everybody send a prayer her way--she's going to need them! Isn't it about time she did something for herself? (Plus, this saves me the difficulty of finding a perfect souvenir--I'll just give her the Eiffel Tower itself).

p.s. I promise I'm working on a post about castles! Coming soon...
