What does one do while recuperating with two almost good eyes?  And it's chilly, rainy?

Why, one starts planning her epic 80th B-day trip 

to the Hobbit Homeland!!

So many choices!  So many decisions!!

(Epic 80th B-day isn't for another year)

Already choice LOTR 2026 tours are full...

Gotta mix in arrangements for a few "in country" flights coming soon. 

And organizing a new project for 2025...

Top secret at the moment!

REFLECTIONS  

These past 7 weeks have been "free form"! I took a break from regular routine (whatever that is) for the two cataract surgeries and recovery.  People told me there is nothing to it.  I have found it draining and longer recuperation than I thought.  My present and future are looking much brighter, though!

It's been relaxing to have no schedule or any "have to's" other than eye drops.  Seems I won't be able to get new far distance glasses for another three weeks.  

This has been a great time to kick back and  explore "clean out the messes" and new venture options for 2025!

This has been a good 4 GeoGram weeks in the life of Gram G.

"The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God.  They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, 'The Lord is upright; he is my Rock and there is no wickedness in him'."  (Psalm 92:12-15)
