Today we left Richmond heading South to get our 2nd Covid shot in SC and then on to GA to meet up with BFFs from FL! We packed up quickly between rain and threats of snow showers. Since we left quickly I unhooked water before I made my 2nd coffee...Carol said she would run into Dunkin Donuts to get my favorite drink, iced coffee!

After what I thought was a long time, I finally saw…

Not sure if this is real or just a warning!PS...Packing to move is…

Well, even in downtown Richmond wildlife can be found!Over the past 13 years we have marveled over the Eagles that are on the James River. Last summer Dominion Power had a helicopter, dropping workers onto the power tower and they installed the brass (I think brass) spikes to keep the birds off the towers! Well, Dominion is not as smart as the Eagles; they still land in the middle! 🤣Moving/Sale update:Packing has started and the condo looks like a war zone! Movers come on the 3rd! Good thing, buyer has purchased all furniture! All we need to move are…
