I love your blog. Martha and I will be following in your footsteps in a few weeks. Tell Ron I said Hi.

Well Helloo
I am reading your blog after helping the neighbors help us remove another 5-6 inches of snow from the driveway. So far we have removed about 10 inches. It is now 5:30 pm and it is supposed to snow til 4 am. St. Martinville may not look so bad now!!! Love your blogs.

Merry Christmas
Thank you, love that sea bean! That lizard looks like a snake to me. Must be great to take your time to enjoy these wonderful places and not have to rush through in a week or two vacation. Thank you for sharing, I love your pictures, Joan

Magdalena
I was looking around the internet about Magdalena and came across your photos. I own 52 acres of land in the Santa Rita Ranches development on county road 354 very close to where you were shooting photos of the old school house near Riley. I came there from Chicago for no apparent reason and bought land there in 2007. It was nice to hear how much you enjoyed Magdalena and the surrounding area. I have a large silver ring with a large turquoise stone in the center I purchased in Magdalena. The owner said it was a very nice ring but it hadn't sold because it didn't fit anybody's finger. I tried it on and it fit perfectly and I bought it and have prized it ever since. It was made by a local Native American artist and is one of a kind. It's seem strange that I came across your blog by accident but I thought it would be nice to write you. I have also been to the Cliff Dwellings and found them fascinating. I live in Milwaukee currently and could use some of the more temperate weather right about now. I left from Elephant Butte, NM to come here where my brothers live so that my ailing mother could be closer to family and Hospital care. She passed away on Nov 1st this year 2013. It helped my mind to get over my sorrow to look at your photos. You never know who you might help when you least expect. Thanks for photos and blog.

Christmas!!
Hello. Where are you guys headed after the New Year? We made it to Earp, Ca where you came to see us last year. We had a little mishap at a Walmart in Phoenix. I would not recommend getting your oil changed at the one Walmart there. They tore off our air conditioner on the roof of our motor home as the tech drove it out of the bay. Richard blogged about it and boy did we get a response - positive - today that they would reimburse me as the repair man refused to deal with CMI/Walmart. We are soaking up the warm sun and dry weather here and it FEELS SO GOOD. I love your quilts and to hear that Dave is still with you! Be well. Jackie and Richard

wow
Seems like you are having a great time! A fellow camper had a collection of sea beans and other assorted floatsam, and she made jewelry from them. She also made bookmarks. I got a bookmark, and then I made it into a simple necklace. You, I am sure, can make some great stuff! The weather here is cold and damp...lots of ice, but the snow has turned into snirt (snow mixed with dirt) and is no longer pretty. Will miss family, but anxious to get back in the sunshine again!

Your home
Your home looks like it could be a permanent one, lovely!

Dauphin Island
Be sure to take a trip to the island. It is fun to go by the ferry and ride your bikes around the island. We stay there for a month in March and may go in February this year also. The fishing is great.

hi
Did dad build a seashell Stonehenge near him or something on the beach? Looks nice! Might have to come there sometime!

What wonderful nature experiences you are having
Thank you so much for sharing travel I will never be able to do but enjoy it through your blog and pictures. I don't understand how those thousands of grasshoppers can find food in all that sand

Good to hear from you again
Vegas. If that does not prevent you from returning home, I suspect you'll be traveling again next year. It has to be difficult to return home to this flat featureless (relative featureless-ness) area. Tulip are peaking through the winter debris and the trees are budding. Still unusually cool and wet. Not time to return yet. p
