Goodbye 2021

2021 has been a tough year for a lot of folks. With ongoing concerns about Covid-19, illnesses, loss of loved ones, job losses, financial difficulties, and more, the troubles never seem to end. With the new year we're all hopeful things will be a little easier. So here's to all the possibilities of new sunrises and sunsets for the next 365 days. Goodbye 2021, hello 2022. 

As of this moment we're still in Fair Play, SC. The weather has been rainy and damp and we've had to keep the dehumidifier running almost constantly. Moisture is not an RVs friend as they can easily support mold growth. The good thing about rain is we don't have to shovel it. A rainy day in the 60s is still better than a sunny day in the 20s, although not nearly as pretty. Here's some beautiful snow shots taken by my friend Trish Slone in Colebrook.

The rain here has brought some wildflowers to life. I don't know what they're called but the bright color brings a splash of sunshine to a drab, cloudy day.

On Christmas we were able to travel about 2 hours south to Jim's daughter's house near Columbia, SC. As per our tradition of not buying presents and doing something with our grandkids instead, we took everyone to the movies. They wanted to see the new Spiderman movie. The kids liked it, but a few of us adults thought it was very slow and, at one point in the movie, someone mentioned she wished we could just fast forward to the end. That wasn't me, although I was thinking something similar along those lines. If was great spending time with family though, and seeing how all the kids have grown.

Love the matching PJs!

The oldest had dislocated his shoulder playing hockey and needed to have surgery. Dora thought he looked lonesome and decided to give him some company. Or it could be that, having just come home from the hospital, he was the only one taking a nap and holding still.

We leave here on Monday for southern AL for a few days before making our way toward TX. One thing I know from RVing experience is that when a sign says RVs shouldn't go in an area, you should listen. This sign is at the back of the RV park where we are. Looks like someone wasn't paying attention.
