Tuesday, Sept. 15th, 2020 After two days of goodbyes, we left Old Stage Campground in NH on Tuesday, the 15th. We had one last visit with Mom on Monday. That was a little tough saying goodbye. She sent us off with a wave, a smile and a virtual hug. I was the one wiping a …

There was plenty that we didn’t do… no day trips to Boston, Portland, Salem, or Ogunquit. No visiting of favorite museums like the Currier in Manchester or MFA in …
Trip back to NH We finally pulled out of Galveston on Monday, May 18th, two months later than we originally planned thanks to coronavirus. We did have a lovely stay here and will look forward to being back again next winter for a few months. Since our doctors are now down in this general area, …

Wed., Mar. 11th – Mar. 16th, 2020 Wednesday morning was still an innocent time before the onslaught of social distancing… We headed off to San Marcos to visit dear friends Meigs & Paul in their new home.

Thurs., Feb. 27th – Tues., Mar. 10th, 2020 (This was in our innocent phase pre-Covid 19… although with birding we were actually practicing social distancing before it was even a thing!) The gulf coast of Texas is a mecca for birding particularly in the spring when birds are migrating back up north. We’re taking advantage …

Mon., Jan. 20th – Fri, Jan. 31st, 2020 We headed back to Galveston Island State Park with Linda & Andy. We learned a valuable lesson on this second outing. Best to visit here when it hasn’t rained a day or two before. Twas beyond muddy! Andy gave up and sat at one of the overlook …
Mon., Jan. 13th – Sunday, Jan. 19th, 2020 Today my brother Bob and his delightful lady friend Deb arrived from the Dallas area along with our cousin Dale and his lovely wife Delilah from Corpus Christi. Such fun to have everyone together! Andy & Linda are still here parked next to us until the end …
