Life in the USA – 2026

January 1 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

We celebrated our anniversary on January 16th with rather warm temperatures and enjoyed a wonderful dinner at NY Pizzeria in Watauga. Sometimes it is hard to fathom that Ursula and I met 61 years ago and have been married for 56 years. ❤️‍🩹

Winter finally arrived on January 26th with a severe cold front affecting the entire southern and eastern United States. We took the usual precautions to protect the outdoor plants, the pool equipment, and the waterlines, and we settled in for four days and came through without any incident. Watching the Australian Open 🎾 tennis matches was amazing and helped those icy, freezing days pass much more quickly.
