The winter chill seems to have settled in permanently over our home. We’re now in record breaking territory, as we have had in excess of 1 inch of snow on the ground for over 75 days. The previous record (records are for this locale, only) was 73 days back in 1974. And, unless we have a major heatwave, this will continue for at least another 30 days! Snow in our yard is still well over 1 foot deep. And there’s more snow coming on Sunday. In fact, it has snowed every Sunday here for the past month.
In light of this, and because I have an overpowering desire to see my grand-niece, Karen, and grand-nephew, Bennett, we have begun planning our “Really Big Spring Trip”. In less than 3 weeks, Scott and I will set off for Corona del Mar, CA. We’ll spend a day and a half seeing the family, then head for Alamogordo, spending an evening in Fountain Hills, AZ, so we can stop in and spend a little time with my Aunt Jeanie. We’ll spend a day with Scott’s parents in Alamogordo, then return home.
Our trip begins March 10, and we get home, with luck, on March 20. As we did last year, we’ll blog about our journey daily while on the road.

Just realized I left out a stop. We’ll spend the second night of our trip in Gallup, NM.
