Some things just don't change and yet some of our lives can change a lot in a decade...
Today 10 years after this blog entry was written I find myself in Atlanta, returning to Little Rock after a good Bubbe visit not to the End of the Rainbow Valley.
( A little funny is it is actually 31 degrees waiting for the school bus in Atlanta this morning but it will warm up to 62)

Snow Birds
One realizes winter's coming when friends like the birds start heading South. You may know these people known as 'Snow Birds' and that's because they are leaving before that white stuff starts falling like the temps up here in the North. We probably won't see them until after the thaw if not later.
The migration actually started earlier this year as friend Cheryl was itching to go way before fall even arrived and hey it wasn't that cold yet but she had to go to bootcamp to learn about her new lifestyle and wheels Seemore, the new motor home. Cheryl now is in Texas.
Then Thursday was Sandy's farewell luncheon before she heads to Florida. That's Sandy on the far right. We're really not that happy that she's leaving but glad for the last opportunity to get together.
Next it'll be Sara who'll head the other direction to Arizona. Remember now it's a tradition for us to eat at the Indian buffet before you depart!
I'll know winter is officially over when these buddies start returning to the area.
Until then, we will be here holding down the fort right here in the End of the Rainbow Valley. Enjoy that warmer weather for us!
