Free At Last

From the snow, that it!  "Almost Heaven, West Virginia" is what John Denver called it!  Except for whitewater rafting, I normally would not have agreed with him.  However, yesterday, when Gina and I crossed into WV,we started singing the song!!  Absolutely no SNOW!!  What a treat!!  In fact, Gina thought it was such a treat to finally have grass instead of snow higher than her body, relieved herself about 10 times in 30 minutes!!  My niece thinks it is cold here in SC because it was 35 degrees this morning and is only going to 50!!!  HOORAY!!!  There is sun and Gina and I were actually able to go on a mile long walk!  What a treat that was!  So, while yesterday was a sad day, we were brought a little happiness by the sun and green grass!  I guess about 30 states have been eliminated from consideration for settling down in any of them!  Life is pretty good!  Thanks for tuning in.  Ricci
