Mar 14 - Mar 16, 2014

We are off to the sunny south. Left on Friday morning and headed to an overnight with Grammie. What a drive - the roads were snow packed all the way to Fredericton and one lane bare from there to Bath. Snow everywhere - some poor people in Fredericton cannot see out their first floor windows because the snow is so high. Good visit in Bath and then on the road Saturday (snowing again) for a 1000 km run to the Lockhart's in Midland Park, NJ. Great hospitality, and a delicious Italian dinner and wine at a small local restaurant ( even though Bernie ate Steve's dinner and Steve ate Bernie's. I think the conversation went " Bernie are you eating chicken ? Ya, I think. But didn't you order veal? Ya. I thought. Steve are you eating chicken ? No I'm eating veal." And then a great chuckle. Bernie had all the mushrooms that he doesn't like and Steve was so looking forward to mushrooms ) Sunday down the 287, 78, 81, 17 and then the 95 to Rocky Mount, NC. Cold, and a grey day but there is hope. I saw 6 daffodils and green grass in one spot along the way coming into NC. Watching the weather later we saw that Washington and surrounding states received snow, more snow coming and freezing rain. Made thru it in time.
