Thankful Thursdays

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Mr.Frankie and KissesGene and I are blessed with a loving friendship with Gene's brother and wife (we affectionately refer to them as "Mr. Frankie and Kisses").

For the past six years we have enjoyed unparalleled traveling adventures throughout the world as a foursome.

From cruises to planes, trains and automobiles we have enjoyed touring delightful countries! 

We have scoured England, Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Turkey and Russia to now Egypt, Jordan and Israel.  I'm sure I have left some countries out but we loved every exciting escapade!!  Meeting the people of the countries we visit and immersing ourselves in their culture and food are always a priority.  Of course, we love to see the sights and Kisses and I love to shop!

We are thankful each day we have Mr. Frankie and Kisses in our lives!

Very nice tribute to your loving relationship with Mr. Frankie and Kisses, Dorie. It's also nice that you have travel partners that you and Gene enjoy being around so much. I'll bet it makes vacations that much more fun.

Good morning Craig,

We do have some real experiences to look back on! Gene plans all our trips as he traveled around the world with his previous work. He helps us navigate the ropes which makes traveling way less stressful! He is a wonderful guide to help us unearth new experiences!!
