It's a New Year!!!!!

We are sure glad last year is over.  We hope and pray this year is much better!  We're currently in Tunica, MS, awaiting single digit windchill temps sometime tomorrow.  We'll be winterizing the trailer tonight and hunkering down for the next few days.  We've done a lot since my last post.  I'm going to try something different with this post.  I'll start with where we are and go back in time :) 

We tried outrunning a winter storm from Hohenwald, TN, and didn't succeed.

I can tell you from experience...Wendy does NOT like cold feet!

We left Hohenwald, TN, to get here.  The Oliver Travel Trailer (OTT) factory and a separate showroom are both located in that town and we were there to pickup "Bessie", an Oliver Elite II travel trailer that we patiently waited 10 months to get.  It's about the best trailer we could find to suit our needs.  It's now our home for however long we can live in it :) 

The prior night we stayed at Meriwether's Retreat, a B&B in downtown Hohenwald.

On the way to Tennessee we stopped at another B&B in Helen, GA.

We walked to a restaurant in Helen and came across a bridge that had these locks, with people's names on them, attached to the railing.  Not sure how the tradition got started so we may visit another time when it's a bit warmer.

Our dear friends Gwyn and Veston are a few states away at a ski resort celebrating brother-in-law Frank's birthday.  Just wanted to share those wonderful smiles :)

And yet one more picture from another birthday celebration.

Griff won the beard contest for sure!

This about catches us up.  Here are a couple pictures on the way to Ohio for Thanksgiving.  We stayed at yet another B&B in Mt Airey, NC.

Many businesses were closed downtown because of it being Monday, but we did see Andy and Barney out protecting the streets of Mayberry :)
