After Orlando, our travels took us back to Cary for an extended session of packing up in advance of our mid-January move to Winter Garden. Three more previously-scheduled trips would occur before then, however, the first being a visit in Chicago with college friends Tawana and Wes and condo-sitting for a couple weeks. Chicago was having its worst beginning of winter snow accumulation since 1978, when it had its worst winter ever in recorded history. I guess we're just lucky, although as Vicki observed, this will help toughen us up for a week of snowmobiling in Yellowstone in early January. Before moving to Florida. This next month will probably finish off what's left of our circadian rhythms.

OK, it's not the Galeries Lafayette; but there are some treasures,
