WHAT A DIFFERENCE and ARE WE READY FOR THE NEW YEAR?

 ... a few hundred miles makes.   Beginning here...

 Ending here...

Don't get me wrong...it is cold for Alabama right now.   It's going to get down to the low teens tonight so I had to spend time insulating the water hookups for my camper.  Actually, the water has frozen several times but thaws out by mid morning.   One thing, though, there's no snow!

Chip and Dale made the trip with ease.   Except, one time when I could not find Chip.   They travel in the car with me.  And, I always make sure they are both in the car before I leave even though they don't go out at all.

At one of the stops I could not find Chip.   I took everything out of the car and still could not find him.   He wasn't under the front seats, nor the middle seats!   I thought somehow I had lost him and was figuring out where to go back to find him.   Out of desperation, I pulled up the third row seats which are normally down...and there he was.   How he got in there I do not know.   Chip is not a small kitty and the space is not large!

In the picture above they napping on the recliner in the trailer.  I woke them up to take the pictures and they were not happy.

WOW!  It's 2014!  The promise of a new year, of new beginnings, of new goals, of changes.  So, have you made plans for the new year?   Any new goals?  

I have picked a new word for the year, but that's about it.   For the rest of this week, how about we look at the possibilities for the New Year?   Maybe together we can come up with some plans or goals to help us focus.   Your plans for you and my plans for me!   Want to give it a try?

Okay, so until we meet again (tomorrow), let's write down some goals that each of us would like to accomplish this year.   Think big!   Write them all down for now.   I want you to smile when you make that list...smiling at the thought of achieving the goals...smiling at the fun you'll have while working on those goals.    Think of this list as your favorite dreams come true.  Who knows?  Maybe this will be the year that your special dream does come true...

Tomorrow we'll take a look at our lists and go from there...

Thanks for checking things out here...
See you tomorrow...
Be warm.   Be safe.   But most of all, be happy.
