There is one thing for certain, PLANS CHANGE! Past plans you cannot change.

 If I could go back I would take more pictures of Paris and even visit the Louvre.   I was thinking maybe next time, LOL

But for now:

So, We had hoped to head for Pennsylvania soon, now plans have changed.  WE wanted so much to see our long standing friends   Dal (Dallas) and Marian.

 Life has strange coincidences.  Both couples are nearing 70 years of marriage. WE have stayed in contact since 1956, our USMC times.  Dal and I were in the same platoon on Parris Island. Not sure but I think Dallas enjoyed PI better than I did. LOL  Our permanent duty stations just happened to coincide, and we lived in the same barracks most of our short MC careers.  WE became close friends he was sure he had the prettiest girl, but I KNEW I did.  I will gladly admit Marian was pretty, still is, but...  Anyway, their marriage lasted and ours did too.

Now after all these years both couples are experiencing medical problems. I hear Dal's problem is he has too many 'PLATES' in his blood. He has always amazed me at the things he has accomplished but sticking too many plates in his blood beats them all.  ;-O  ......... Also  the girls (Sherry & Marian) are both experiencing bad KNEE problems.

WE are forced to change plans, I think we will go South,  and take a break in Florida. Here, Sherry finds tooooo many things to do with church and friends to give that knee the rest it needs.

At least a day in the RV she can be in a recliner or  stretched out on the couch. during the day's drive.

Maybe we will get up North this year, but it would have to be soon.  You guys that live North of Mr's. Mason and Dixon's place have CCCCold weather in the winter.  WE remember, we once lived in those latitudes in North Missouri. ;-)

The shot below is just below that Mason/Dixon line

The parking lot where we lived also, Just about 3 miles from the Pentagon

Of course there will be More very important stuff tomorrow.  LOL ???
