What are we thinking? Nobody is going to pay money for scraps of paper. But, they might just because the money is going to a good cause. I got a little sad packing up the wreaths to go. My neighbor and I worked so hard on them. We wouldn’t mind giving them to our friends but we don’t want to see them go away.
Travel news. You all know that I love riding the train. And fortunately, I have the time and money to indulge myself. Leaving Kona on Xmas Eve. Landing in San Francisco late that night. Then I have about 10 hours to get in the city where I catch a bus at 8AM Xmas Day and get up to Emeryville and The California Zypher to Chicago. Then the Captial Limited into DC arriving December 28. I would have liked to take Via Rail across Canada. But, it will be winter. And, my clothes will be summer. I know that I can make this journey with luck, summer clothes, and my raincoat. In Canada, I might freeze to death.
