We celebrated Christmas on the 26th as our Jen and Eric both had to work, So we gathered at their house on the day after Christmas to exchange gifts and share a Christmas feast, (below is a peach tart I made with peaches we last fall),. Their friends Chad and Brandy also joined in n the festivities and the only one who didn't seem overjoyed was Jen's cat Melanie, (she didn't seem to like her Christmas bonnet).
Chad also mentioned that we needed to play golf before we left and so two days later we we teeing off at a beautiful golf course, the Tides, located in Seminole, Florida. Not getting into the scores lets just say I had a few good holes and its always neat to have the chance for bird watching while looking for my golf ball in the numerous ponds and palmetto groves.
After dinner we relaxed and talked about next years plans. Ours are pretty much the same as this year, First we will head to Texas with a brief stop at Betty's Rv in Louisiana. Then after sawing rocks in Texas we will return to Louisiana and finally head north and west to our place in Wyoming.
During the summer we hope to do a few new mountain man shows, but not to many and to look for petrified wood in some n Wyoming locations, (new ones for us anyway).Next year we hope to finally attend the Balloon Fest in Albuquerque before returning to Florida.
But for now its the Gulf Coast as its too cold to be up North. Our son called and told us it was -29 below and that was the temperature and not the wind chill. Matt and Patty live about 45 miles away, as the crow flies, from our summer place. So today is packing time. Clear skies
Travel safe. Give Betty a hug from us. Hope to see you down the road.
