Classis Chistmas Carols

Today is a good day to drive! We are driving along interstates with the sounds of Christmas carols dancing in our heads In our heads. Sirrus radio has a station playing all the classics. Will guesses the artist and is right on! Frank Sinatra. Dean Martin. The platter Sisters. The father of soul; what's his name? Herb Albert and the Tijana Brass. The Beach Boys. Gotta love the classics. Reminds us of younger years singing at home around the tree or going with a gang out house to house all bundled up. Then came the hot chocolate. Oh chocolate. Pulled out our goodies we got from family. A chocolate filled fig for Kathy followed by a dark chocolate square. A hazelnut Roche for Will followed by a milk chocolate kiss. Noel. Little Town of Bethlehem. Silent Night. Winter Winderland. Joy to the World. Do you have a classic favorite?

Rainy day to drve south

Rain tickles the van. We are warm and cuddled inside waking up to start a new day. We made it to Summersville,West Virginia yesterday after a stop at our storage room to organize a bit. Behind us are plastic crates of memrabilia of days gone by all packed away waiting for a turn to ride in the van. Along with us are the essentials and those little memorabilia that fit. Thing one has that have meaning and memories. Our space may be small but we have managed to carry lots with us. The sky is that dark gray that speaks of rain. Today is a good day to drive!!
