Thanks Shannon! We are very excited about the coming year. I’ve enjoyed keeping up with you and Fred and your kids via FB. Have a great summer.
Coolness! Have a killer time!
I’ve always wanted to go to Italy- maybe this will get us there! So excited for you guys! xoxo
David best wishes to you and your family. What an amazing adventure you have planned!! Safe travels and post lots of pictures!
David,
I see way too many Barcelona FC jerseys in your (beautiful) pictures.
Give me an address where I can send you guys a couple of jerseys of US Cremonese – remember?
Ciao to you all and safe travels!
Luca
Ciao Luca-
We will have to come get the Cremonese jerseys in person. You would be shocked how few there are available in Kentucky! (Actually, anywhere). It must be some conspiracy lead by Lionel Messi and FC Barcelona. FORZA GRIGIOROSSI!FORZA CREMONESE!
David
Hi again!

Have a wonderful Christmas there in Australia. It will be a warm one. I’m off to KY next week to see Laura Graduate and maybe see “Buddy”. Happy New Year………
Was reseaching my father’s side of family that I lost track of over
40 years ago. John Helmers was my father’s twin brother and
JohnHarold ,your father was named after them. I am so taken with
your blog I read it all day on Sunday. I did not know Joan, Judy, or
Janet’s married names, so have never been able to reconnect.Would love to hear from anyone when you get back.
Love the pctures of all the wonderful places you have been.
Carol-
Thank you for your kind note. I am sorry we haven’t responded sooner. Sometimes we have wifi – sometimes we do not. And when we do, sometimes we are just too busy. Anyway, we are so happy to hear from you and glad you have enjoyed reading about our adventures. We are in Germany now and just visited Joan’s oldest daughter Michele in Munich. It was great to see her and toast the Helmers family with a good German beer! Janet is a Clark, Joan a Dubois and Judy now a Strong. All are in Facebook, I believe and I will be glad to help you reconnect. Thanks for your message. David
Thanks for the blog visit and follow! This is an amazing itinerary, wow!
