Travel is Not Safe We are being reminded by CDC daily, to give up travel plans for the holidays.
We pulled this little bullet out of storage on Sunday. It was tempting to hook it up and drive 1,000 miles west to see our kids. But no. We decided to take a tiny 2-day trip, instead. Goliad State Park After we got the old "Bambi" cleaned up, we drove 2 hours to Goliad, Texas.
We knew from their website, that they had Covid regulations. We only saw a few campers from a distance, but it was nice to know there were mask rules, if we stepped into the office or restroom. "Camping" It was nearly 80 degrees, when we set up "camp". Everything seemed so impossibly ideal.
Don and I used to really camp. We don't mind cheating with a trailer, now. We use chairs and sleep in a bed. We're get along in our sixties. No guilt. Mission Espiritu Santo In 9+ months, I don't think I've been in a setting more peaceful than this.  This historic, restored Spanish Colonial church is one of two missions in the park. This one was just a 2 minute walk from our campsite. Exploring We had our masks with us, but never saw another person. What an escape from news and worries.  We explored and played and had the place to ourselves. Nature  There is nothing more healing than being in nature, especially in 2020. We were beyond lucky, with sunshine and warm temps. Dinner Dinner was easy with chicken and veggies in the Dutch Oven.  We played games and listened to Christmas music, instead of news. Christmas This is just going to be a weird Christmas. There's no way to make it normal this year.  But this little 2 night get-away, is giving us a huge lift. I'm ready to take on the holidays!

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer, Covid & Coronary... I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done. On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021. CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C". Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent! I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post! Navigating This Mess! The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016. To find past posts, look below the "Archives" section, to find "Categories". Archives
