What a fantastic opportunity! Your aunt is truly a fairly godmother! And you are certainly going to start retirement with a bang. My MIL used to say she had to retire because she didn't have time to work anymore - sounds like that is going to be true for you too.
I hope you feel better! I have had weird sleep the last few nights too where I sleep for about an hour during which I have a weird dream then wake up. I fall asleep again in a bit and repeat the cycle. Many short, weird dreams but not medication induced for me.

I agree with DD that quilts are art. I had 3 beautiful quilts that my great-grandmother made which were works of art IMO. My niece and nephew have them now.

And now I'm remembering all the ways some of my aunts lifted me up. Kindness is the best present of all.

We really enjoyed No Good Deed. Great talent, and surprising twists and turns.
I didn't see any on Iona the one day I was there, but maybe I'll see something hiking. We did see a beautiful ring on Orkney called the Ring of Brodgar. But it's true, they are all over the place in Scotland.
I suspect your nieces feel about you the way I feel about her. I have/had 2 aunties who mean/meant everything to me. My Dad's sister whom I am named for was another guiding North Star for me.
You are so fortunate to have such a generous and supportive soul as your Aunt! (From now on I will also capitalize her.) Of course you'll go and experience the magic of Iona and the spirits of three generations of beautiful souls!

137.6. Down!
Staying at my brother's while visiting my Mom for a few days. Her cognition has definitely declined since her surgeries. She did stand today which is good, would like to see her able to take some steps. At least she is getting PT and OT.
I skipped lunch and am starving for dinner which my brother is currently making. Chicken chop suey I guess!
