It was marvellous and we visited some interesting places, including the Valley of Desolation.

I sang it to my children, and now I sing it to my granddaughter--and just gave her a Cinderella porcelain figurine such as the one in the picture with "My Granddaughter, My Princess" on it!<br /><br />You're exactly right about taking a vacation from writing as from any other work.

There is a time where too much becomes counter-productive. This is certainly coming from the voice of experience.
