Remember that when you leave this Earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received, only what you have given, a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage. -St. Francis of Assisi

Snow Birds

I like winter scenery

But, I can't wait to
 get out of this icebox!!!
* * * * *

I wanna be a SnowBird

I've lived in the Chicago area
my entire life and am looking forward
to spending a winter
on the beach
or in the desert

  1. Cool photo! Did you take it? I grew up in Chicago, also, and have tried to avoid cold temperatures since my retirement. I'm not always successful, however. :( 23* here in Texas this morning! Ugh!

  4. Hi Teri, I also found your blog through Al's blog. :) We are also future fulltimers. I think you will find there is quite a community of RV bloggers here.

    I completely understand your post today! I live in upstate NY and was trying yesterday to appreciate the wintery scenery - as I was out driving in it!!

  5. Hi Teri. That’s a terrific photo! While your picture makes me think of our home in northern New York State, it also reminds me that I do not miss the snow.

  6. Indeed a nice winter photo with great detail right from the foregrounds twigs poking through the snow to the distant branches in the background tree lines. Am guessing a tri-pod mounted photo with possibly a large format camera.
