BIRDS OF A FEATHER

I guess we could be considered "Birds of a Feather".

We certainly do flock together, us "SNOWBIRDS". We have met a lot of nice people at both RV parks we stayed at here in Kerrville. John and Annette have been fulltimers for five years. They have had Calypso since he was young and he is nineteen now. These birds live to be 50-60, so he will most likely outlive them. Their kids are worried about that because none of them want to inherit Calypso.

Sophie and Calypso have become friends. I'm not sure who likes (or dislikes) the other the most.  At least they do recognize each other and "bark" at each other. John & Annette walk Calypso a lot too. He rides on Annette's arm.

Calypso talks when at home but not much around other people. He has gotten so he talks some around us. Often says, "Want some". That's what he says when he wants something to eat. They say he eats often.  Also says, "Wants some lunch", "Wants some breakfast".

We are winding down on our first retirement winter. Daylight time starts this weekend and the first day of spring is only a few days a way. We had planned to pull up stakes here on Monday the 26th. We are taking things one day at a time and are trying to finish up all the little trips we wanted to get in.

Sharon's mother has spent the last couple of weeks in the Monroe Manor nursing home in Paris and her dad entered Audrain Hospital at Mexico yesterday. We are staying in touch with family there and will leave if they feel we need to come back or if they need us to help out. Her parents have done amazingly well this winter until the last few weeks. Our special thanks goes out to all of you who have assisted them through this difficult time.

To all of our RV friends we have met over the last six months let us just say like Roy Rogers:

     HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU,
     UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!
