The weather was absolutely gorgeous. I checked the car thermostat. It was sixty degrees deep blue sky without a cloud in sight. I was running to the store for a last minute errand and quickly realized the silk shirt I had on was too warm and I had to take it off. I was going to see my friend Chuck and it was going to be at least twenty degrees warmer in New Orleans. I immediately put a tee shirt on when I arrived back from my errand. I was excited. I had arranged to have a window seat on both legs of my journey today. Vacations are usually another “world”. For a short time you enter someone else’s reality. We can get so used to our own and not see what is directly in front of us any longer. Vacations in a strange place have a way of jarring you. And that is a good thing. Occasionally, anyway.

I stepped out and it was beautiful and I did not want to miss it. There was not even a hint of a breeze and the sun was out and it was warm. It was less than two weeks from the official beginning of winter. Tomorrow was more of the same. Then the temperature will drop and the weather would become more seasonable. I wanted to catch part of the day outside. Soon this gorgeous weather would just be a memory and I will have to bundle up every time I go outside. Maybe I will go fishing tomorrow. It will be more of the same temperatures. And I want to take advantage of it. Such weather was precious this time of year and the forecast for this winter was that it would be a cold one. I don’t want this day to slip away.
