Merry Christmas Joan - Sounds like you are really enjoying your travels. All the best for a wonderful new year from the frosty north (though we are tucked in our house today - just the 5 of us - warm by the fire!!) Beth
Merry Christmas I don't know if this is a duplicate message, but glad you survived the rains of all rains. Nice TY from Ben. Be safe on your trip up North with the Grandkids. Love ya.
Envy..I want to be with you guys Well Mr. & Mrs. Marco Polo. You two paint a wonderful picture of America. I look forward to each new chapter of your journey as we sit here in the snow. Best to you both and Merry Christmas.

Hi Just checking on the blogs I missed last week. Dwight looked very handsome in the western shirt. You guys can find parties wherever you go ! Palm Springs sound great, looking forward to sun and warmth in February..We are in the deep freeze here. Got together in Dub.to celebrate Jessie's graduation from nursing school. She was VP of her class.Had fun with the Dub. clan. So was the west coast cousins surprised to see you at their holiday party? Gracie& Jake here for the wk. Erin& Todd on their way mid-week. Give my love to Raymond, Kate,Julia & Ben.
You missed the best Sun City! Hi Dwight and Joan,
Carl Chou sent me the link to your blog and filled me in our your adventure. Just have one thing to offer - by skipping Sun City Texas you may have missed the very best 55+ community in the country. No state income tax, 3 excellent golf courses, only 35 miles north of Austin (think Texas Longhorns), lots and lots of midwest folks (the very best kind), and....Alaska Airlines flies a round trip non-stop every day from Austin to Seattle!
On top of that we do have the second best baseball team in America...and I'm not talking about the Astros.
Before you make the final decision you should wander this way...
In any event, good luck on your trek and best wishes for the Holidays.

Merry Christmas Thanks for your updates and pictures. It is most luxurious to enjoy warm weather at this time of the year.
The biggest news in my family thid year is my younger daughter had her first baby daughter at 37 years old.
In addition, my elder daughter is expecting he fisrt baby in April at 42 years old.
My son has one son and one daughter. Merry Christmas & Happy new year.
Cubs update ... So it looks like you are enjoying PS (PS I love you used to be a slogan for Palm Springs). Dwight, you look pretty relaxed!!!! Sports news --- the Trib says that the Cubs are negotiating with Kerry Wood to be a RH mid-reliever to back up Carlos --- Could I be so lucky for this summer.
It is cold and gray today in the city with big shoulders --- while I wish you were here I think you are lucky to be out there.

I'm an idiot I know I wrote down the dates you'll be with us in Tucson and the gremlins made my writing disappear. Please, for the lasrt time, give me the dates you'll be spending with us so we can plan a few activities. Thanks guys. travel safely and enjoy Palm Springs! eddie and lorel
We made the blog! Met Dwight and Joan Sunday and again Monday at Shadow Hills Sun City. Then, on their advice, tooled on down to Trilogy by Shea Homes. Clearly higher quality of construction and nicer neighborhoods with sidewalks! Thanks for directions, Joan! Have a good time playing golf, but it's cooling off tomorrow, high of only 77. --Scott & Barbara
glad you missed it Being Cubs fans you were fortunate to be away and distracted during a very sad time in Chi town. It is hard to believe Ronnie and Pat will not be enteraining everyone on WGN next season.
He had a wonderful send-off....from his wake at Holy Name, and his memorial service there on Friday, and the procession up to Wrigley etc.
It was awesome.
I never did ask Joan if she got up near the booth to chat with him.MW
My butt is freezing
My butt is freezing & you're playing golf on Tuesday? I obviously enrolled in the wrong program! You didn't mention if you were plus or minus in Vegas. I'm glad all is going well. Enjoy - you worked for it.
so jealous! when you said the temp was 87 and it's 11 degrees here, YOU are in the right place. I never thought of Las Vegas as a rodeo show, but I guess Vegas has everything. We met for book club last Thursday. lots of snow that night. I think you would enjoy Maisie Dobbs, it's an easy read but filled with mystery, and social class background from pre WWI. I loved it. So hope your next stop is as nice as Vegas sounded.
Enjoy your holiday Hi Dwight and Joan
Looks like you have a nice holiday. This is the way the life should be . I am still working hard but hopefully one day to be like you just to relax and take it easy.
Enjoyyur holiday . Take care.
Christmas is coming and I wish your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.
Regards
