Breaking the Silence

Last Monday, in the early morning hours, we arrived in Colombo, Sri Lanka .
Over a week's time, we went from Colombo ...
to Kandalama ...
and Bentota.
Just got back home at 8 o'clock this morning,
with a mountain of laundry to tackle.
I look forward to catching up with all of you very soon. 
Best wishes and blessings,
at

    Ahhhh, that was a refreshing tour of Sri Lanka through your camera lens! Such a beautiful place....you can just hear the theme song from South Pacific!

    And the beach is quite a wonderful place.

    Welcome back, Tammy, from your summer trip filled with great memories.

    Sorry about the laundry...ech.

    Yayyyyyyy! Welcome back,Tammy. Looking foward to hearing and seeing the photos of your adventurous vacation. I'm almost sure I'll never get to Sri Lanka in person so will live vicariously through your eyes.

    Take care and good luck with all the laundry. Susan

    Dearest Tammy,

    Welcome back home! Isn't that the truth that for each relaxing trip we pay our toll by doing laundry afterwards? So much to put up and organize but it's still worth it. Sounds like you again had a wonderful time.
    Love,
    Mariette

    Hi, Tammy,
    You certainly visited some beautiful places, my friend! That pristine beach is stunning!! You are very fortunate to have seen so many wonderful places in our world. What great experiences for your sons, too. The worst part of returning from vacation is always the unpacking and laundry, I think. Enjoy your week~Sending love and hugs to you~!Vicki

    p.s. on Monday

    Hi Tammy. Thanks for your visit and comment on Writing Straight from the Heart.

    The museum has many different exhibits. There's only one room dedicated to dioramas, not the whole museum. Thought I'd clear that up.

    Hope you are re-acclimating to home, once again, after your vacation. Susan
