Well New years Eve here in Illinois was in the 30's and we were in the coach. The Hollywood casino was more then accomodating. We pulled in mid afternoon on New years eve betting each other how many coaches were already going to be there. To our surprise we were the only ones there

, but after a while 2 more showed for the night.

. New year day waking up to deer running in the park was an awesome sight. Even our 2 collies thought it was kinda cool. Re-winterizing on Monday morning when it was 12 degs was a bit of a challenge, but well worth starting the year doing what we love the most

. If you live doing waht you love, you are loving life. We figure if we get out once in Feburary that meens 12 months straight. Not bad for part timers
