Red Headed Woodpecker in CT.

At Maurice's house which backs up to the woods, he has placed several bird feeders and keeps them filled so he gets many birds to watch. I was envious when I learned that they had recently seen a red-headed woodpecker.

When we arrived in Connecticut to see our friends Phyllis and Pat for a few days, we were wonderfully surprised by a sighting of a red-headed woodpecker in their yard. Now I can quit being envious of the sighting in NY. This is the first I have ever seen and give thanks for the pleasure of the sighting.

Phyllis and Pat have been married for almost three years now. We were fortunate to attend their wedding. Now we are talking about traveling maybe to Greece and/or Turkey together. Who knows? We have discussed taking a trip to Italy, to Scandinavia, and maybe Russia, and not Greece and Turkey. There is no telling what actually might happen, but I will keep you informed.

We do hope to visit New York City for a day or so after leaving CT and going on the Washington to see the WWII monument which we have not yet seen. So we feel like we are on a real vacation but with no agenda or time frame except that we expect to get back to Texas by the first of February.
