On the road again

Jet time again...

My little 95 year old  mommy up in Seattle isn't feeling so swift, so I'm rushing around here preparing to fly up to see her, spoil her a bit, just be together doing nothing but knowing each other is there.

All those stories about crowded flights we are reading? True. I had a heck of a time getting a flight on short notice and even a harder one to get a flight back.  But, the e tickets came from Alaska Air today, I've hired a driver to take me to the airport -- now to make my list of things to do before I can leave and begin tackling them.

Yeah, a load of wash is in, mail is ready to be sorted.  Helps to get up at 5 a.m. to do that pre-trip thing, doesn't it? I'll be ready for a nap by 10 a.m.

Other than that? Feeling okay, just tired still from radiation. Does that ever go away?  Maybe not.

My Pet Scan will be the last week in August so will get back from Seattle just in time for that.  Son Lee ( Leegoldberg.com) is back from France, Belgium, Holland and Germany and hope to see him before I take off.  He leaves again on the 25th for London.  My son, the jet setter! So,if can't see him tomorrow, then will see him before he leaves again.

I'm at the last chapter in the book I'm doing, was going to do it this week and next, now that will have to wait.  It's okay, being with Mom is more important.

Got to rush away now, check out my kids' blogs, and transfer a load of wash and then go down my list of things to do and make my packing list, too.

Chat with you after Seattle.

Hi Jan,
It's been an awfully long time since I wrote and with travel between Belgium and Italy pretty much a constant (with some family tree research in between), I haven't been a constant reader of your blog. Hopefully once Franco retires and we lead a more settled life in Italy (Milan? Como?) I can follow your news and that of the family on a regular basis.
We leave Antwerp at the end of August - I wish I had known about Lee's visit to Belgium. Please don't tell me they were in Antwerp! Still, the welcome mat is out for all the family in either Sicily (Siracusa), Milan/Como, or The Hague - I just need fair warning, as we could be at any one of those three locations.
I have a question for the older Copeland contingent: does anyone remember hearing about a female relative of ours named Rose Kaplan, who lived in Spokane and was a optician? I've tried tracking her down to no avail and I have no other information about her.
Jan, please give your Mom my love and you can tell her that I miss hearing from the world's best penpal!
I would love to hear from ALL family members. I must admit that my family trees are a bit stale and I would really appreciate having fresh input. I'm always happy to send out these trees and directories of current family members and I enjoy answering questions about our family history.
Love from Antwerp, Maris
