Getting Ready for 2015

With 22 days, 17 hours, and 13 minutes till January 19th, 2015, I thought I'd bring my blog a step closer with a mini-update. I have an app that is providing me with those details...but, as they say, who's counting? Poof! Christmas has come and gone.  My family is healthy and fortunate.  Although Winnie didn't provide Santa Claus with any goodies to fill her cabin, I must say she fared well with gifts that will be put to good use.  Gizmos, gadgets, and whatcha-ma-call-its, I love 'em all.

(I helped out with a few items on my Amazon Wish List.)  Allow me to share what thoughtful friends and relatives surprised Winnie with.  I hope you can read the small text in each photo above the captions where I put my expression of thanks for each:

Low setting of LED will last over 48 hours on one charge;
will charge from laptop and charge iPhone & iPad with
its own built in USB port.  Nice!

Measurements above are for December 27, 2014
 Max/Min button will be interesting come January.

Very sharp; both in appearance & funtionality

"Home is Wherever We Roam"
A special ornament from a special couple.
It will hang in Winnie in all seasons

Can't wait to use in Winnie.  I'm all for
pleasant, soothing scents.

Yes, this will be placed right next to my magnetic SHU
in honor of two special ladies in my life.

These handy miniature gadgets will give the
impression that I know how to use them.
We shall see.

Doubt this will be used down south BUT, I sure
could have used it this past November while
camping.

Ah, so. Sushi for two?  Cholly-son
will put these to good use.....that is, if
they allow me to bring them into the
restaurant.  If not, my companion will
have to enjoy sushi with me in Winnie.

And it really works!!!  How annoying is it to get
up every couple of minutes to nuke your a.m.
coffee.  No more.  There is a "low" and "high"
setting but mine will always be on "high."

I'll need to be "settled in" to use
this very useful accessory.

Will no doubt need these to keep that rug down
during the wind/rain storms

Thank you, Me

I started Book 1, The Way of Kings, of the Brandon Sanderson Series, The Stormlight Archives.  Book 2, Words of Radiance, is due in March, 2015.  With 1,252 pages waiting for me, it'll take me that long to read it.

So there you have it.  And again, a very appreciative 'thank you' to all my friends and family.  I am a very fortunate person.  I have been visiting Winnie in Cross River every two weeks to run the Mercedes and the generator for about twenty minutes.  I'll make two more visits and begin loading non-perishables with each trip.

My next blog will be from Cherrystone Campground in Cape Charles, VA, January 19, 2015.  It will contain my finalized 34-day itinerary.  Until then, I wish all who have taken the time to read my blogs a very Happy New Year and wish all good things, health first and foremost, for you and your loved ones.
