Packing up for the North...

Making tracks for the North, as I start the 1st of 3 nights away from my beloved Effie. It was a wonderful week off with my Pretty Gal! Every moment we enjoyed was golden, and that warmth and love I take with me as I start the work week. I'm so looking forward to coming home to her again on Saturday, taking her in my arms, and kissing her breathless! I love you, Effie!! I'll be home as soon as I can!! Moving on...
