Here we are starting another New Year. Where did 2010 go?

We stayed in Abilene, TX to watch the bowl games today. Ok, it was a mistake. Maybe Michigan and Michigan State would have won if we hadn't have watched the game. Ok, it probably wouldn't have made a difference.

So we leave in the morning for Van Horn, TX. This is about 330 miles from here. Going about 62-65 miles an hour that is far enough.

Well the weather to the west was suppose to be bad for high profile vehicles again today. So we have decided to stay in Abilene, TX until Sunday. This will still allow us to be to our reservation in Casa Grande, AZ on January 4 as scheduled.

We went to Red Lobster tonight and to see Little Focker Movie to celebrate another year. The GPS is great to get around a town you don't know anything about.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of our friends and family.

----GO MICHIGAN---- Gator Bowl tomorrow.

December 30, 2010 - Last night we noticed if we took our planned route we were driving into very windy conditions on route 40, which was taking us to Amarillo, TX. So do we stay one more day here and let it pass? But that didn't look good either. So we quickly packed up, slid in the sides, and away we went, heading south. We are now in Abilene, TX, good decision seeing it is 77 degrees at 3:30.

Taking the drive from Oklahoma City to Abilene we passed many fields of previously picked cotton. The next two pictures are big bales of cotton in the fields. It is so interesting taking pictures while driving 65 miles per hour with a digital camera. The first one I almost missed, then the next one you see is pretty good. Didn't show you the missed ones with nothing but the field. LOL

I don't have to explain the last picture. I actually put on flip flops to go out and take the picture. It is very nice, but I believe we are to get cooler temperature, 53 tomorrow. I just looked and they are to have windy conditions tomorrow. So we may not have escaped the wind, but we did get 77 degree day and we wouldn't have up north further. So heading outside with a glass of wine and a good book.
