The two RV Gypsies took one
look at the weather (as shown above) and decided it was a great day
to stay inside by the fireplace. Look carefully in the upper left corner
of the fireplace shown below to see a reflection of Lee Duquette's legs
and socks as he relaxed inside on the couch. (The snow just missed Karen
Duquette's birthday) |

Below: Karen Duquette took photos of the birdhouse from inside, through the window, as the ice slowly melted off the window and birds seeked shelter and food. |

Lee Duquette scrapped the ice off of the hot tub so
Karen Duquette could use it later. He is always so helpful. |

Later in the evening, Karen Duquette joined her grandson outside to play in the snow. |

Karen Duquette does not go
to bed early so at 2 a.m. she decided to relax in her hot tub outside,
while watching the light snow fall, even though there was NOT a cover
over the hot tub (thus the shower cap on her head). Lee Duquette was
already asleep so Karen took a couple of photos, but not too many because
she was afraid of dropping her phone into the hot tub. |
