It has been a lot of fun here in DuQuoin, IL at the Fleetwood Motor Home Association Rally and reuniting with friends made last year in WY at the first rally of this group, BUT, this heat and humidity is absolutely not for me....no way no how, not now, not then! When we chose to relocate out of CA I drew the line at humidity with self awareness that it was not something I could tolerate. I do not like heat either but then so many use that excuse, "well it's dry heat.." Forget it, I lived in 100 degree Sacramento sweltering while being dressed daily in suits and panty hose and it's just as hot!
I appreciate four seasons so would not want a perpetual summer. You may remind me of that when it gets frigid this winter and if we are immobile in MN. But this heat and humidity would find me inside like a mole in the air conditioner which makes my throat tingle after a while, and without gardens. So places south were out of the question for retirement relocation although I love TN. This week in southern IL has confirmed wisdom. We get that white fluffy stuff that has to be shoveled in MN in the winters but it is not oppressively hot so I will be happy to journey back north!.
But another comment has arrived, on my blog from my 2nd cousin's grand daughter who found my blog looking for information on her ancestry and her great grandmother in particular. I wrote about my Great Aunt Frances Mroz back several Sepia Saturdays ago and my Great Aunt Francie is Amber's great grandmother. Trouble is Amber did not leave a way for me to reply to her request and her astonishment about finding family information on my Sepia Saturday posts. I have had such success with these hits and expanding our family base.
So I am taking time to post to the blog in hopes that Amber will return and send me her email address to establish contact. Odd that she found the blog and commented but did not leave a way to reply. I hope she follows up and reads this so I can pass along information to her some of which she can glean from my blog.
I created this blog to record our RV trips and ;morphed into life in our retirement lane and telling my tales of life. Now my tales of life are on widowhood, my new and probably my last phase of l I have migrated to Facebook where I communicate daily, instantly with family/friends all over. I write here sometimes.

Yes, that heat was not tolerable. I would open the back door and our little dog would go out then turn around and come back in again. I bet the conventions are fun. I didn't get posted for sepia Saturday this week and need to get caught up on it.
