Last thoughts on the Big City

Because of the condos, the area here has a population density of over three thousand people per mile. In Wyoming its less then two per mile and Alaska was even less. Suffice it to say that while its been fun visiting our daughter and meeting new people, I prefer it where the wild things are.....
The past week started with our Christmas celebration at Jenny's. She bought us new lawn chairs, just because one of ours had broke. Now I know it might not be a big deal to some but our old chairs had a unique history. One of our Texas friends had found them by a dumpster and given them to us as a token of thanks for a small favor,(we took pictures at their 60th wedding anniversary Texas party).
The basic rule of our lifestyle is that you get rid of anything you haven't used in a year, unless it treasured. The other rule is that when you buy something you discard a similar item for a net zero gain. Its a hard rule and we don't always follow it but a rule none the less and so we tossed the old chairs.
So today we are packing up and preparing to head to south Texas.We expect to run into rain but thankfully we are too far south for snow. I look forward to the birding, canoeing, and fishing in St Charles Bay, (where the population density is about one whooping crane family per mile), and of course I look forward to seeing our Texas friends. Clear skies.

ps Oh and Jenny got a new nursing job so we will be back here next year.
