2022 JJ年志

节日快乐！

又是一个辞旧迎新的时刻。祝大家2023年心想事成，万事如意，幸福快乐，身体健康!

2022年初我们迎来了一部清风拖挂式房车，从此开始了我们的房车旅行。

在周边小试牛刀后，我们有三次较大的房车旅行：

1. 六月份游玩美国国王谷和红杉两个国家公园，在两公园间的国家森林里露营一周。

2. 九十月份的35天美国西部及加拿大西南部之旅，主要游玩了美国的大盆地国家公园，石头城国家保留区，加拿大的班芙国家公园，贾斯珀国家公园，冰川国家公园和雷夫尔斯托克山国家公园，并在温哥华拜访大学老同学和孜冶的发小。

3. 十二月加州中部至南部的1号公路及亚利桑那南部的18天之旅。期间顺利完成亚利桑那2022年冬季6+1峰挑战。

傅华在油管上开了一个账户华冶，供有言论自由的朋友观看，同时也开了一个微信的视频号，上传了同样的内容。制作游记视频是一个很棒的回顾和学习过程。第一次房车房车旅行游记共5集已经全部完成，第二次房车旅行的视频只完成一小部分。其余的要在2023年完成。

不外出时主要在家打理院落。后院开辟了菜地，收获了不少蔬菜。还种了11棵果树。

在家期间还忙里偷闲，到周边骑车划船。2021年感恩节购买的两条皮划艇已经带我们数十次探索河流湖泊海湾，收获无比的惊喜。

疫情躲了两年终究没能躲过去。六月初我俩同时得了新冠。孜冶发低烧两天，傅华没有发烧。都有喉咙痛的症状，咳嗽也不严重。我们没有做任何治疗，11天后转阴。十一月孙子从幼儿园传染上新冠，轻微症状，并传染给了儿子媳妇。我俩帮忙带孙子，一个屋檐下与三个阳性人生活了一周依然保持阴性。看来得了一次身体还是有免疫力的。

光阴似箭，新的一年又给了我们重新开始的机会。所以每个岁末，我们都为自己鼓气：来年更加热爱生活, 保持积极向上的生活态度，活出自己的精彩。

Happy Holidays to all!

It is another season of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. I wish you all the best of luck, happiness, and good health in the new year of 2023!

At the beginning of 2022, we bought an Airstream RV trailer and started our RV travel.

After tesing out in areas close to home, we had three long RV trips:

1. Visited King's Canyon and Sequoia National Parks in June, and camped in the national forest between the two parks for a week.

2. A 35-day trip to western United States and southwestern Canada in September and October, touring Great Basin National Park and Rock City National Reserve in the United States, Banff, Jasper, Glacier and Mount Revelstoke National Parks in Canada, plus visiting old college classmates and Joseph's childhood friend in Vancouver.

3. An 18-day trip from central California to southern California on famous Highway 1 and southern Arizona in December. During the period, we successfully completed the Arizona winter 6+1 peak chanllenge.

Julia opened an account Howdy Yay on Youtube for friends who have freedom of speech. At the same time, she also opened a WeChat channel and uploaded the same contents. Making travel videos is a great review and learning process. A total of 5 episodes of the first RV travel have been completed. Only a small part of the second RV travel video has been completed. The rest is due in 2023.

When not traveling we mainly worked on our yard, building a vegetable garden and planting 11 fruit trees.

We also did cycling and kayaking around Sacremento area. Two kayaks we purchased on Thanksgiving in 2021 have taken us dozens of times to explore rivers, lakes and bays. Those trips brought us many happy moments.

After two years, the pandemic finally hit us. We got covid at the same time in early June. Joseph had a low fever for two days while Julia had none. Both had sore throats and minor coughing. We did not take any medication and stayed home until tests turned negative after 11 days. In November, our grandson contracted the covid from the kindergarten with mild symptoms, and transmitted it to his parents. We helped with the care of our grandson, lived under the same roof with three covid-positive persons for a week, and remained negative. It seems that our bodies have developed immunity after getting covid once.

Time flies, and the new year gives us a chance to start again. So at the end of each year, we ask ourselves to love and cheerish each other more and to live a happy life in the coming year.
