Good Morning Everyone,

It has been a while since I wrote. It is very cold this am -3.7 degrees, the stars are like diamonds in the sky. Breath taking! We have been busy staying warm, and out of the wind. Lance has been working hard on getting the solar panels all set for the van, actually bought the rack for the top of the van for the panels to attach to. Pretty cool. Hopefully in the next week we can get that up and secured and then put up new wood curtain rod holders (Roy my Brother-in-law) made and then we use wood dowels, move a couple of things around make up the bed and we are set. Again one realizes that we really don't need much to live a happy quality life.

I think the cold has slowed Lance and I down, trust me there is nothing (at least anything I have experienced) that is more bone chilling than New England winter wind rain and snow.
For those of you getting ready for Christmas not much more time to get those bargains.
Jenny my sister gave me a couple of old readers digest to make a Christmas tree for our room, we use to make them as kids and I had forgotten about it,Lance found a wooden block to use as the base, spray the tree with green paint and then sliver glitter paint over that and light yes mini lights. Will take pic and post. Have been traveling back and forth from Jenn and Roy's - Ronn and Jacquie's.I gotta tell you Jenn makes "The Best" Mac and cheese on this planet. Yes indeed it is comfort food. Had Lobster's a couple of times once a lobster roll OMG it was heaven on earth :). Been waiting for there pond to freeze to try some skating but not quite safe yet. As a teenager we would all get together and build a fire and skate on the quarry's around here that was always fun.
I have at times not been feeling well but that is to be expected, I guess. I have got all my chickens in a row as far as my health and prescription plans go, of course someone somewhere always hits a wrong button somewhere and screw's it up. Hope the transition will go smoothly. "ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT", if if a policy state's "pre-existing conditions not a problem",there may be a holding period where nothing is covered. These folks who run the insurance companies pharmaceutical companies are only out for themselves, they are getting as bad as attorney's. :)
We are hoping to head out right after Christmas, want to be home warmer temp's and we miss our friends. Roscoe our buddy is slowing down, turned 12 in September has been sick a couple of times (Lyme disease), nasty shit that is. Even though we used a commerical tick repellent I also made and herbal repellent which all worked till we arrived here in Maine, I have never seen anything like it and these creepy things can live all winter. He was on antibiotic's for a month and is back to his bouncy self, in his head he thinks like a puppy. Ronn has Wild Turkey's here well everyone does and they are huge and fast and gobble like crazy, hard to get a picture of them as they are so fast, pretty cool though. Well think that is it, will be posting more regular as we get ready to move on. We will only be making a few family stops (overnights) on the return trip. Will be taking a Southern Route running from the snow. Take care, Peace On Earth. Lance Carlene and Roscoe (TWD).
