That's because Rudolf has already made it to the North Pole to assist with Santa’s checklist. 😎

I'm "into".... In Paris we visited Pere Lachaise and Montmartre. I'd like to visit Arlington and lay a rose on Kennedy's grave.

 

The helicopter "cemetery" was very moving.

We visited Menin Gate war memorial cemetery in Ypres Belgium on a ships tour.

Different ages, different times -- we lived 5 years in Belgium, and visited quite a lot (Waterloo comes to mind), but then, as a young couple with 2 babies, we were not (yet) "into" cemeteries....

@Milwaukee Eight I'm definitely feeling more confident every time I use the mavic mini...next upgrade will definitely have the auto/tracking feature!

My drone videos don’t appear to be allowed. Probably because they are too big. I have been recording in 4K which is probably over kill. I need to find a good editor that lets me change format to something not so much a memory hog.

Try again.  Maybe I should create a YouTube account and then link to the video.

We had Pauline's late dad with us on the ship and as he was ex British Army the tour was more for his benefit.

1. Great minds think alike.

2. From reading your posts I know you to be a generous and thoughtful person

3. What else does one want when locked in.

 

All that equals cookies.  Plus I always think "cookies"  Especially Ranger Cookies.

Speaking of travel, we get back in the car today to drive 12 hours to our new house on Florida.  Will spend a couple of weeks there, still getting things set up, then back to Ohio for Christmas/New Year's.  Then back to Florida in early January for about 3 or 4 months.  Then back to Ohio to sell our Ohio house.  I don't know how some of you juggle 2 houses.  Two of everything, I guess.  I'll be glad when we're in Florida full time next summer.

Have you found someone to do your ground work?

[ReneeFLL]

Ugh, I’ve been looking for a coffee gift basket for my dad. I have no clue which one would be good. Any thoughts out there?

Thank you so very much for the reindeer photos. Looks like a nice place for them to be safe.

We live between Durham and Sunderland in the North East of England.

We are about 5 miles from the coast.

Thank you. Looks very far north. We also are very far north in the middle of the USA. Northern MN borders Canada. Not a bad winter so far.

On the subject of cemeteries, we visited Arnhem Oosterbeek cemetery when we were on a river cruise.  So many of the graves had the phase “Known unto God” on them.  It was the first time I’d seen that.

@singinalot and @grapau27 - Thanks for posting pictures of your travels (even if just local).  Any travel is good these days and it helps me to see others doing it!

 

Speaking of travel, we get back in the car today to drive 12 hours to our new house on Florida.  Will spend a couple of weeks there, still getting things set up, then back to Ohio for Christmas/New Year's.  Then back to Florida in early January for about 3 or 4 months.  Then back to Ohio to sell our Ohio house.  I don't know how some of you juggle 2 houses.  Two of everything, I guess.  I'll be glad when we're in Florida full time next summer.

 

And I'll second (third?) the reco for Queen's Gambit.  We enjoyed it.

 

My "other" house is on wheels.  😉
