Raleigh received about an inch of snow last night and then lots of rain and ice. This is not the type of weather we were expecting on our full time journey. In fact, we hoped to avoid snow this winter. altogether However, it looks like many areas of the U.S. (even Florida) are experiencing some unexpected weather.
We had planned to take a road trip today but decided to postpone it. Another great benefit of retirement-you can be a lot more flexible. The project for today has now become sending out our Christmas cards. I'll give you a sneak peak of our picture below. We had fun posing for it yesterday when the weather was a lot warmer.
We spent yesterday morning taking the RV to a local propane dealer for a fill up before more bad weather arrived. That is an event since the motorcoach has to be driven to the dealer for a fill up. The huge tank is inside one of the storage areas underneath. Our little trailer, in the past was much easier You only had to take the small tank. Our neighbor at the campground spends a lot of time in cold weather and has purchased a large tank that he takes back and forth. However, our goal is not to be in cold weather very much.
In the afternoon we shopped and shopped at the mall and I think most of our presents are purchased Now all we have to do is wrap them and send them on their way. That is a great feeling.
We hope you are enjoying the holidays and staying warm.
