Missed the cold snap in Texas during our excursion and happy to be back and not quarantined in Mexico. Enjoyed all the warm weather but will have to say that we do miss the Maryland snow. Something refreshing and new about it. Always hated to go out and mess it up with footprints. Google sends me pictures every day from years past and David was in several of those recently from his trip out here at Thanksgiving 4 years ago. We had so much fun in Big Bend. Sorry for all the troubles you've had with the windows. Hopefully it will be sorted out before the winter is completely gone.

What fun to have those treasures to open and savor, especially on wintery days. <br />Your photo of David and your reminiscing is so poignant. It's a good reminder for all of us to be fully present and grateful every day. I hope that Winona will soon be repaired and that you can resume the life of travel that you love so much. Take good care, my friend.

We fly South on Sunday as our two weeks of Doc and dentist appointments are done. It will be a week in Las Vegas for hikes in Valley of Fire state park and then a week on the beach in Oceanside California and then a flight back to the Cabana. Kathy got us three 3 night trips to inland state parks in Florida so we can learn to use the new to us Sprinter RV we bought. It seems we are making life more complex for now anyway. 19F for a high today at home and I am in my recliner with the room at 70F, reading blog posts.ZippyPinHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744888611143753611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-31284717970084271902022-02-03T13:05:40.144-08:002022-02-03T13:05:40.144-08:00Thanks Don.

I was able to get some some of the previous previous boxes because they were on sale. They really are so much fun. Weather is behaving very badly all over the country. It's either too wet or too dry. Unbelievably hot or ridiculously cold. But of course there is no climate problem.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-23767258805942901842022-02-02T15:09:09.806-08:002022-02-02T15:09:09.806-08:00So somehow I lost something somewhere. How do you...So somehow I lost something somewhere. How do you have a house in Charlottesville? I know you parked on the street there, but this looks like you have the protection of a real house in town, and sounds that way from your story. Good thing! glad you didn't have to weather all that snow all alone out on the farm. I can't believe it has been 3 years....goes way to fast....and incredibly slow...as if time just stops. Hard stuff, Sherry, but at least at this moment Winona is at least in the shop. I pray that she gets fixed. Sad about all the reservations in Florida being outside your favorites, but a least you found something. Traveling really is getting to be a really hard thing to try to plan. Somehow I also missed out on the book box thing....how did I miss this. Either way, it looks like a ton of fun, and as you said in one of the comments, at least there was something good to come of being in one place for a bit of time. We had some really good snow around Christmas, and some good rains in November and even into December. But now a high pressure system has been sitting over this part of the northwest and we have had no precipitation for almost a month. Not good considering that this is our wet season. The sun did finally come out but for weeks that high pressure kept the fog on the ground and the sunshine high above us, unseen. Ah well. You have encouraged me to finally go write a blog. Sheesh.
