I also enjoy hearing how your family makes an effort to stay connected..somehow, in our family, the thread got dropped, no reunions, or get togethers, except here and there.. cousins don't really get to know one another,brothers and grandchildren and others, all scattered.. so,I enjoy your stories even more. Enjoy Tucson..will love hearing about your next few months in the nice warm climate!

I will never forget the traffic! On the radio I heard about how other nearby freeways were doing, and it made me happy not to live there. Seattle traffic is bad enough, but it's nothing compared to LA. Glad you are safe and sound, now, and I too enjoyed the description of your travels to the sun. It's raining here. Naturally. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-77329279529508444562014-01-01T21:32:29.516-08:002014-01-01T21:32:29.516-08:00It's been 10 years since we made that drive. ...It's been 10 years since we made that drive. I used to love the adventure, especially in the winter when you never knew what weather you would run in to. I agree with you about San Diego. My dad lives there. I love the beauty and climate, but you have to carefully plan outings to avoid traffic. Here in eastern Oregon we get peeved if we don't make the light at the Mormon Church...that would add a minute to the 5 minute commute to town.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you and Art.#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-23599651043177614032014-01-01T17:50:59.480-08:002014-01-01T17:50:59.480-08:00Welcome back to your second home!

I wondered when you set off if you were just skipping Christmas, but now I see that you made the most of the opportunity to spend time with family along the way. <br />It makes me happy to see you all settled in at your winter abode.
