The last time I wrote was on the 19th, on our way to Columbus, GA for Christmas  Marilyn had decorated a tree for the motorhome before we left Florida.   After arrival on the 20th, we went to Doug’s for dinner, and a great visit.  Then, on the 21st, we drove to the Atlanta airport to pick up our daughter, Beverly.  On the 21st, we all went out for Japanese food, so Bev, Doug and Marilyn could have sushi while I had chicken tempura – delicious food.  We all finished our shopping, and, then, Marilyn and Beverly baked cookies on Sunday, along with decorating Doug’s tree (Doug and Laila had done a great job of decorating Doug’s house before we arrived).   This is a picture of the baking results.    Of course the stockings were hung by the chimney with care.   We opened our presents on Christmas day, and alas all good visits must come to an end.  We had to take Beverly back to the airport in the afternoon for a 5:30pm flight back to Dayton, OH.

We said goodbye to Doug the day after Christmas (Wednesday), and left Columbus on Thursday morning.  We drove to Summerdale, AL to visit Joan and Richard Micelli at their home in Plantation, the Escapees RV Park. 

After a wonderful visit with Joan and Richard, we left this morning (Saturday) to continue our trek West.  We are parked for the night at Frog City RV Park just west of Lafayette, LA.
