A Pending Blessing
A vacation is a fantastic idea! We are all set to travel to Florida to visit my youngest son, Ben on December 23. I absolutely cannot wait. Typically we would have been flying around the local area and traveling to Canada to see my best friend, but, well, covid.

We decided to travel commercial air to Ft. Myers for Christmas and last month we bought affordable tickets. Ben is attempting to secure time off to spend time with Jeff and me when we get there. My Canada friend's son (who, incidentally, was born the same day as Ben within 8 hours of Ben) is graciously allowing us to stay there at their house and Ben is giving us his room, too, so that we will save on out of pocket expenses while we are there.

I'm told temperatures are in the 60s that time of year, but it still beats Pennsylvania's cold, wet winters.

We only flew to visit my Father this year a month or so ago because our plane's radio is not in compliance for the new 2020 regulations. Jeff has the new radio, but he's waiting for his mechanic friend at the airport to assist in installation.

I'm looking forward to not being grounded in December! It is something that I am aiming and planning for now and that trip anticipation offsets the fall blues I am feeling. As beautiful as Fall is here in Pennsylvania, it is short. Believe it or not, the weatherman is forecasting snow this weekend. makes crumpled cry face.

I know, I know, it is inevitable and having lived in Pennsylvania all of my life I should be prepared... but I'm not. EVER.

For some reason I am no longer able to publish on Peakd.com. I can save a draft but I can't publish. This post has been chilling in draft status since yesterday afternoon.
