I’m Ready for My Christmas Cozy Mystery Audios…

November 20, 2015

Washington, DCYou will never guess what I’m doing right now! By the time this entry posts, I should be on my way to Washington, DC. Yep! My husband and I are driving our daughter’s car out to DC for Thanksgiving. She left her car in our garage when she moved out there >>> thinking she wouldn’t want it. Now that she’s been living there for a few months, she has decided she’d rather not rely solely on the metro for everything.  And, since we enjoy visiting her, we’re on our way!

We felt a little bad about leaving our son in San Antonio to “hold down the fort” for us, but we see him so often we decided to take advantage of our daughter’s holiday off from work. Not that this makes up for leaving our son during the Thanksgiving holiday, but I stocked the freezer with some of his favorite things.  I have to admit I always feel a whole lot better with someone staying at the house when we travel.

I have downloaded the Cozy Mysteries that we will be listening to on our drive east. I decided that Tied Up in Tinsel by Ngaio Marsh and Hercule Poirot’s Christmas by Agatha Christie are definite musts for a trip during the Thanksgiving holiday. Hopefully we’ll be able to finish them before we fly home.

I’ll continue to update the site while we are gone >>> I’m taking my laptop and my “tech guy” (husband) with me, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to check in almost every day.

      Ingrid, thank you for the well-wishes. Getting across the Mississippi bridge in Baton Rouge took us almost two hours today. What a way to start a car trip!

      Amy, thank you. (Your library may carry both of these books on CD format. I’m guessing they may at least have the Agatha Christie one.)

      PamB, the first thing my tech guy did as soon as we got into the hotel room was to log me on to the internet. Now he’s flipping channels looking for a basketball game. He knew I would want to post a few comments >>> and he’d have time to watch the game (if he can find one).

    Have a great time and a Happy Thanksgiving! I loooove road trips. Hopefully, your weather will be better than it is at 10,400′ in the Colorado Rockies. (we’re snowed in…too bad, more reading!!!)

      Susan*, it’s only been two months since we saw her, but it seems like longer. I don’t know how my parents’ generation could stand it when their children moved away >>> without cell phones >>> which make it possible to talk to them at any time. So, at least we’ve been able to talk to her whenever she had some time…

      Barbara, we started Tied Up in Tinsel yesterday. It turns out my husband hadn’t read it, and it’s been so long since I read it >>> so it’s been fun.

      Sally, thank you! We haven’t gotten very far with Tied Up in Tinsel, but it’s good. We both are Ngaio Marsh fans…

    While you are in DC, I recommend you go to my favorite restaurant, the Old Ebbitt Grill. It is near the White House, on 15th St between F & G, so it is convenient if you are doing any sightseeing. You can’t miss it as they are ready for the holidays with their giant nutcrackers outside the door! It is an old DC institution and the food is wonderful.

      Judith, thanks for the tip >>> I’ll be sure to mention Old Ebbitt Grill to our daughter. We lived in this area years ago but weren’t aware of it. Thanks, again!
