Roanoke, VA USA
Hello and Good-bye,
Tomorrow we leave for Marmaris, Turkey. We fly from Roanoke to Chicago to Munich to Izmir. We’ll stay overnight (and eat in our favorite fish restaurant) and then take the bus on the 18th back to Marmaris.
These have been the fastest three months! We accomplished some stuff; Randal’s cataract surgeries and my root canal. We laid out a tentative plan for the road to our future home. Randal, being a hands-on kind of guy wants to do some of the work himself. To do that he needed a crawler-loader for clearing land. So now we own one.
Much or our time when we return to Marmaris will be spiffing up the boat so not so much touring. But we’ll see.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season if you either celebrate or enjoy time with friends who do. And I hope the weather here is kinder to you all than it was last year.
Lots of love and hugs to you all

She’s all yours! (Randal in sunglasses.) |

All Randal wanted for Christmas……. And all MS Dozer wanted was a new home. Together they’ll build a road to our future home and clear the land where it will be built. |

As close as I’ll ever come to driving her. |

On a small scale of construction, my nephew Andrew whipped me up this two-toned, two-layered infinity scarf on his knitting machine. I’d picked out the colors when we visited his studio in Philly. I’m learning the many ways to wear it and it definitely keeps me warm!
