Below: Two views of Lee and Karen Duquette's Travel Tree. The ONLY Christmas decorations on it is an angel (for Brian), plus the star, a hitch-hiking Santa Claus in shorts trying to get to Florida, and a Candy Cane from North Pole, Alaska. They have definetly out-grown the travel tree they used to put on the steering wheel of their RV home. that is why they now rent a small garage for the winter months. Plus their family has moved to the Carolinas, so they not longer wintter in South Florida.

Everything else is a reminder from where the two RV Gypsies have traveled. They have been in all 50 USA states, plus Australia, Aruba, New Zealand, England, Sweden, Tallinn, Estonia, Switzerland, France, Canada, Mexico, Belize, Cayman Island, Costa Maya, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, Labadee Haiti, Cozumel Mexico, Limon Costa Rica, Panama Canal, Colon Panama, Samana - Dominican Republic, St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands, Tortola-British Virgin Islands, Great Stirrup Cay Bahamas, Falmouth Jamaica, Freeport & Nassau Bahamas, Paradise Island, a Dolphin excursion and more.
(of course they were not in their RV when they were in Hawaii and the other countries listed above).

Above: Karen Duquette is grateful for the holidays with family. Getting old is not something she did on purpose
- it just happened. And she feels blessed. (Unfortunately, Brian Duquette was not that lucky).

Below: The two RV Gypsies really miss their son, Brian Duquette on this day and all year long always.
Never to be forgotten.

Below: The two RV Gypsies with their great-grandchildren.

Below: Lee Duquette gets a t-shirt with a picture of the great-grandkids every Christmas. Even in years long passed, he got a t-shirt - but back then it was with the grandkids, who are now adults. Karen Duquette does not get a t-shirt.

The Christmas turkey and all the fixings were quite delicious. Karen Duquette does not eat deserts, but everyone else enjoyed the various selections.
