Steve and Judy's Travels!

 

I’ve played work or neighborhood pools in the past; everybody chips in a dollar and makes their picks.  The person with the most correct picks each week gets the pool.  It’s hard to do well consistently, but I usually finish the season with more dollars than I started with.  This is the first time I’ve done one with an app on my phone, and it turns out I’m awesome!  I set up a pool and it tracks how well each person is doing with their picks.  I’m in first place this week, and in first place for the year.  I could be really hard to beat.  I’m considering inviting someone else to join the pool too, to find out.

 

 

 

Neither of us is feeling very good today.  No matter though, we’re doing our part to keep the old people safe.

 

 

 

I make all the sheets and blankets perfectly even, but then during the night Judy pushes all the covers my way to make it look like I’m the blanket hog.

 

Sometimes life just isn’t fair.

 

 

 

It was a warm wonderful morning on the deck for coffee and watching the birds.  By lunchtime though the clouds were rolling in.

 

By four, any thoughts of dinner on the deck were gone and we were setting up indoors.

 

Our little house fed seven while it poured down rain outside, no problem.  Judy cooked up traditional turkey dinner with all the fixins.  Pumpkin pie and homemade ice cream at the end.  Football, friends, and a whole bunch of food.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

 

 

That was the year of our Caribbean Winter.  That was the plan.  We made the Alaska trip in 2019.  That was wonderful, but we were ready to drive less the next year.  We have a bunch of Southwest Airlines miles.  We can fly anywhere we want for free.  Let’s leave the bus at home and explore places in the Caribbean we haven’t been to yet.

 

That was the plan, and that’s the way it worked out.  We left the bus at home, and we drove less.  All went according to plan except that part about exploring the Caribbean.  We stayed home and stayed safe.  Okay then, maybe 2021…  Maybe 2022?  We’ll get there.  Someday.  When it makes sense.
