…It comes from the French phrase à Dieu, which literally translates to “to God,” meaning you are commending someone to God’s care upon parting.
I enjoyed reading the origins of adieu this morning.
This was taken at the Hailes Abbey (a 13th century Cistercian Abbey) nr. Winchcombe, Gloucester, England in 2004.
We board a British Airways flight today for London. My posting will be scarce if at all. I’m hoping to try to post a few postcards like Judy at My Front Porch. Time will tell. In the meantime you will know why I’m not visiting your blogs during this time. Blessings!
Adieu….safe travels to you – ENJOY!!!!
Happy skies to you! Have a blast!!
Cistercians… I got to visit their Abbey in Conneticut and plan to visit their Utah monestary soon!
God Speed!!
