Points north and south



Black Friday the family went into Boston, not to shop, but to visit the Museum of Science. Our crew consisted of my lovely wife, our two daughters, their husbands, four grandkids and myself. It sure beat shopping for stuff.

However, my lovely wife and I were getting burned out on city crowds. People in Boston were actually generally fairly nice, but there are so many of them. In our hearts, we are country people.

Today we are driving back to northern New Hampshire. Our middle daughter is putting us up for a few days. She only lives about ten miles from our house. We have some last minute packing to do before heading south. There’s also last minute business that needs to be attended to.

Sunday a snowstorm is supposed to move it. Right now it doesn’t look like we’ll have decent travel weather until Wednesday. Our schedule has a fair amount of slack built into it. It’s the first time towing our boat with the Blazer. I always take it easy when towing. Those little trailer wheels have to make a lot of rotations. Stopping to let them cool and keeping they well greased is a big help.

My lovely wife has me checking the weather along the way. We have some time booked in a campground near St. Augustine Florida. Sometimes it’s actually fairly cold there, but the long range forecast looks decent. If it didn’t we’d keep heading south, even if we have to go all the way to the Keys.

I really enjoyed Thanksgiving. My lovely wife and I were blessed to be able to experience it with family.

  1. I hope that weather forecast is right. We have tickets to the "Hope for Abacos" benifit concert being held in Stuart on the fourteenth of December. It's rumored Buffet is gonna show up too.

    1. Good for you guys! Such a good cause too! We ran into Jimmy years ago at Mallery Square in Key West. He wasn't performing, just hanging with street musicians.

  2. One thing about traveling slower is that you sometimes see things that you wouldn't otherwise.

  3. If I ever get over this terrible emptiness, I may pack up the RV and head out somewhere. When and where, I don't know now. Maybe just go where the the wind and my mood takes me.
