Ho-Ho-Ho!

          It’s been a while since my last post so I thought that I would just write a little something, and maybe throw in a few photos.

          In the beginning, I wrote that this blog is not about me.

          It is about our travels and the places we go.

          So….. if we’re not traveling, then there is not too much to write about! This piece will kind of bring you up to date, etc.

          Since we returned from the Great Tomboy Farm Critter Sitting of November, we have been safely ensconced at out Texas Home Base at Danny and Kaitie’s in Brenham. I do have to say the weather has been just this side of awesome.

          Warm days (60’s through the 80’s), not too much rain, and so far , no big scary storms! (which there is a plethora of at any given time down here)

          My biggest issue so far, and has been for a while, is realizing that I don’t have to do anything at any time! While somewhat liberating, it is totally disconcerting for me.

          But I’ll get used to it!

          We have plans for Florida for much of February, a stay at Sugarloaf Key which is just a few miles from Key West, a stay up in Tampa at Paula’s sister’s house, and possibly a visit to rels on the East Coast by Vero Beach.

          After last years “Icemageddon” debacle, we are not assuming anything when it comes to weather and traveling. It takes two days to exit this state and even trying to get to the Southwest, like Arizona, runs us through some high elevations that can get quite wintery. So that means we need to look many days in advance and either stay put or get out of Dodge really quickly!

          Danny is hot and heavy into campaigning for the Justice of the Peace position for Precinct Three in Washington County which is where we reside. This is an actual Judge position, way different than anything we have in New Jersey. The primary is in March and if he wins that, it is an automatic (?) win in November as rural parts of Texas are as Republican as Sussex County is and there are generally not many Democratic candidates. So, we plan on being here for the election to both vote and help out.

      Then, back to traveling!                                                                                    Paula and I would like to extend all of the Warm Wishes of this time of year to everyone who has kept up with us, and this drivel that I write! We truly hope that you enjoy traveling with us and I promise you, we love having you along!

          Until Next Year,

          Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

          Love,

          Paula and Don
