Snow pics
Good afternoon! I just wanted to post a couple more pics of the snow. It's melting today but it was a beautiful couple of days that we had while the snow was around. We hope you are all having fun and doing well!

Safe that JD kicked
He got an infection when his toe swelled up that later caused him to die. He should have soaked it in whiskey.

Back in Nashville...at least one of us is.
I (Pete) got back up to Nashville after a short trip home, on Monday.
We had a very good weekend last weekend. We had some good friends in town that stayed with us on Friday night. Then Saturday, we met up with some more good friends, Jason and Becky and their Niece and Nephew, and ran into Mom and Dad at the Plant City car show. We all went to Chancy's for some fried catfish and gator. (everything on the menu is fried!) I had my fill for a few months. I think the catfish was still swimming in my stomach on Sunday. Sunday, I got dropped off at the airport and Laurie picked up Jenna (it was Jenna's birthday on Sunday) and took her over Denise's for a surprise birthday party. I was bummed that I missed the party but I'm sure a good time was still had.
It's Thursday now and we have about 2 inches of snow on the ground already. It started snowing around 2pm today and hasn't stopped yet. I am listening to Radio Margaritaville hoping that it would make it feel a little warmer, but it isn't working yet. But I do have a nice heater going, so that is making it warmer. Plus, I am supposed to meet Jason down at Margaritaville in Nashville for dinner. So, maybe that will help with the cold also. :)
This is an update on what we are doing and where we are and what we have planned. We decided that we are going to go out to Alaska in the Summer. Beginning in June and continuing until August. We are still on the "do it while we can" kick. Joe and Jan are going to go with us (they are looking for a fifth wheel to pull so they don't have to travel in the motorhome with us. I guess traveling that far with 4 people and 2 dogs in this motorhome would get tiring. I know 5 people and 2 golden retrievers was a little much when we were stationary in the keys last September.) Anyone else that wants to go and can go, are welcome to come along. If you can't make the entire trip, just fly out to meet us somewhere. That's another reason Jan and Joe are looking for a fifth wheel, so we can have visitors. hahah! I'm sure they love me advertising their place as a hotel. They got a new truck today, to be able to pull the fifth wheel. It's pimped out!
We have become a fixture in Dale and Bobbi Jo's (Keith's parents) yard in Nashville for now. They have been so gracious to us and we can't thank them enough. I have been helping Dale and Jonathon load wood into a truck and take it to the burn piles. We are cutting out a taxi way for one of the neighbor's houses so he can get his plane to the runway. (Makes sense) I am looking for a contract job up here to help with the gas money for the trip. We plan to go to Shana and Todd's wedding up in Rhode Island at the end of May and then head up through Canada over to Alaska. Hopefully the Motorhome will make it! It hasn't liked the cold weather lately and is proving it to me by breaking water lines inside. I have had to repair a few of them lately.
We hope you all are doing well. Laurie will be in Nashville on Saturday afternoon and I want to play some open mic nights when she gets here. I'm going to go listen to some music tonight in Nashville. They have a pretty good show at the Bluebird Cafe tonight. Hopefully they don't cancel it due to the snow. I'll keep you posted on any news, happenings or country music singer sightings around here. See ya later!

| No, the dog is not tied to the bumper. "Poor dog, must have made it two miles..." Some of you will get that. |

Happy New Year!
Hello everyone! We made it through Christmas and New Year's without any hiccups and we are back in TN now. Christmas and New Year's were great! We got to spend it with family and friends and everyone got along! We missed those that we didn't get to see, but saw others that we haven't seen in a while.
We made it back from TN around Dec. 12th to catch the boat parade up in Weeki Watchee. That was a lot of fun. We had some great food (chili was awesome!) and the parade turned out to be full of boats. Unlinke the Swansboro, NC parade, with just 6 boats. :)

| Our friends, Tim, Cheryl and Steve's boat. |
We made it up the river to Hospital Hole to see a few manatees.
On January 1st, we drove up to NC with Joe and Jan, to go visit the cabin for a little bit and see if there were any damaged pipes from the freezing weather they have had. Surprisingly, there was not much damage. One sewer pipe busted, but no big deal, the toilet water flushed down the creek. Go thing it was flowing pretty fast! We visited Fontana Dam on a sunny day, and just relaxed for a few days.
We drove back to Nashville on the 4th. Just in time for a few snow showers, but Dale had the fire going so it was nice and warm inside. The motorhome had been sitting in freezing weather for some time and one of the water pipes below the kitchen sink had busted. We dried the water and fixed the pipe. Today I found two more leaks. One below the kitchen sink and one below the ice maker. The heaters are drying the floors out now. :) It's good to have these "opportunities" to learn about the motorhome. Yeah right!
Last night Laurie and I drove down to Murfreesboro to see Jason, Erika and Colton. I went to Martial Arts with Jason, so he could use me as the sparring dummy. I did great...as the dummy! They are meeting us at the boat show tomorrow. It's indoors because the high for tomorrow is 28. Yeah! Good to back in the North Pole! We'll pretend it's sunny and warm while we are walking around, looking at the boats.
We don't have any plans for my birthday on Sunday yet, but I'm sure we'll figure out something fun to do. I wanted to update this blog and catch everyone up to where we are today. I'll keep you posted of our adventures! We hope you are all doing well. See ya later!
It's going to be a high of 28 tomorrow and Jason, Erika and Colton are going to meet us
