“Hi, Boss.”
“Well, hello Lucy. How are you today?”
“Pretty good boss but I have a question.”

“I wonder if you could set that computer aside for a minute?”
“Oh, sure, sweetheart.”

“Darn thing anyway.”
“You had a question?”

Yeah. Mom tells us you are heading overseas.”
“Yes, that is true. I’ll be gone a couple of weeks.”

“What’s with that face?”
“I’m worried.”
“About what?”

“That you’ll forget us.”
“How is that possible? You are my babies.”

“Seriously?”
“Seriously.”
“And the kibble will show up as usual?”
“Guaranteed.”
“Thanks, Boss. I think we’ve covered it all. Time to rest.”

“Sleep tight, Lucy.”
“Have a nice trip, Boss. Don’t forget the souvenir.”
“Wouldn’t think of forgetting. Thanks.”

Lucy has a way to introduce the fact that I will be leaving for Scotland on the 18th returning on the 30th. We are going to visit the birthplace of our grandparents. This trip will place a little pressure on my blogging so I apologise in advance if I miss a comment or even a post. I’ll do my best to stay current but one never knows.
