Christmas Trip

Here we go again……another New Year. We can still remember just waiting to get to be 21 so we could go out and celebrate all night long… and now if we can stay awake until 10:00, we have done well. Where did all those years go? Actually we were awakened by the flurry of fireworks at midnight, made wishes for a more peaceful year in 2005, then fell right back to sleep.
Our holidays have been spent with our folks in Florida. We made the 1100 mile trek from middle of Arkansas in our newly-acquired 1989 Ford F-150. It didn’t take long to discover that loose items don’t stay put in the back of a pick-up truck, so our first Christmas gift was a work box to store our belongings in as we travel. We had a lovely week of visiting with June and Victor (90 years young now!) leading up to Christmas. Then on to Oric and Lois to make some post-hurricane repairs during daylight hours, then rousing games of cards in the evenings.
We will be heading back to the bus in Arkansas early in the week and preparing to make an 1100 mile trip west to Arizona. We have received word that The Heifer Ranch was blanketed in 5 inches of snow on Christmas Day, quite unusual for that part of the world. We will enjoy our lot in the Saguaro Escapee Motor Home Park in Benson for a week before we return to our jobs selling water purification systems at a huge RV Show in Quartzsite, on the California border. We look forward to reuniting with many friends-of-the-road who will migrate to that spot…the largest flea market in the world… for late January and early February. Great fun!
Until next time, best wishes for 2005. Love, Darcy and Wally
