Everyone in Eufaula, Alabama, has been anticipating the snow forecast for today. School was canceled, giving the kids a l-o-n-g Presidents Day Weekend. Eufaula hasn’t seen snow since the mid-90s. We’re supposed to get 5 inches of the wet stuff.
And wet it is! Great for making snowmen, which I did this morning. Amazing the things I managed to find in the RV to dress him up! Raisins for his buttons, a slice of tomato for his lips, a red paper napkin for his scarf, celery for his nose, and half of a stick-on deodorizer for his hat. The outdoors contributed the rest: asphalt pebbles for his eyes and twigs for his arms.
I wonder what the local alligators think of the unusual weather.

When we hit the road, we intended to stay in mild, temperate climate. Ha! The joke’s on us. We have two electric ceramic heaters running to minimize using the RV furnace, which requires expensive propane. And we’re going to have to sweep the heavy snow off the slide-out awnings to avoid damaging them. (We know from experience what they cost to replace!)

We were wondering why you left Florida so soon. After all, it is still winter! Love your cute snowman.
Stay warm!

David got a fun gig for the month of February taking photos of a couple Alabama state parks!
One very well dressed snowman.
Stay warm.
I love the snowman! I bet the state park photos will be interesting and WHITE! Bruce read tonight that 49 of the 50 states have snow on the ground!
Hi Rose and David!!
This is great! I had meant to correspond with you guys ages ago and the time got away from me! Thanks for all your wonderful updates and for the birthday card. I’m glad you enjoyed the book Rose. It is a special one. It seems there’s almost nowhere to go to escape the snow this year. I can’t wait to see where your next adventure takes you. I enjoyed seeing your RV–very nice and cozy–looks just perfect for you two. It must be great just enjoying life with no TV and no agenda. I think I could do that!! Enjoy whatever the road brings you—we miss you here!!!!
Lots of Love to You Both
