Nancia, I'm up in the observation car watching the scenry too. The last mystery quilt was so much fun, and I keep thinking about this one, but there is too much to do outside now. So, maybe the train will run again.
PokerDiva, except for the snow, the view from your porch, looking out at the valley, is so beautiful. I'm sure if you decide to leave it will be really hard.
PaintmeJudy, I hope you're feeling better. The down side of traveling these days seems to be that you can count on being sick afterward. At least the bug waited until you got home so you could enjoy the cruise. Get well.
