Two months passed by so quickly... here he is...
These are from our Thanksgiving Celebration at Karen's. Graham is just two months old... Look how strong he is already...
Made reservations for a condo in Kona, Kona Isle for the month of November to celebrate our 55th anniversary !! Hope to use air miles to get First Class tickets both ways... Will do that in a couple weeks.
Alyssa and her Cascade High School Choir participated in a special program at a church in Salem. Alyssa got one of two solo parts, was really great.. She has a beautiful voice and is loving Cascade. She also made the Cheer Team and they voted her the Captain. How great for the new girl ! !
We celebrated Christmas with Collette's and Hooper's at Karen & Casey's and then with Phaedra and the boys the day before leaving for Corey's. Fun times.
Sunday, December 23rd heading out to Corey & Angela's for Christmas and then on to the desert for winter. First stop is the Redding Elks. Didn't think that they would be open but they are only closed on Christmas Day so, buy one, get one free drink happens before leftover taco soup for dinner ! ! !LOL. Wake up to pouring rain, hook up the jeep and outta there... Stop at the Rolling Hills Casino in Corning for fuel and ask if they have an RV park. They have at least a million billboards along the freeway and only one said anything about RV's. Appears that yes, they do have a park but it is filled with FEMA trailers now for all the need from the Paradise fires. Nice to see that. Rain slowed a little, back on the road, just a couple more hours and we will be at Corey's. Got to Corey's in the afternoon. Already nice to be able to stay put for a few days.. Angela made an appetizer dinner which was mostly seafood and totally delicious. Christmas Day was a deep fried turkey, again delicious with yummy side dishes.
Official Christmas Picture... Kristina posted to Facebook... Love it as it shows Kristina's love of gnomes too ! !
I love this pic that Celeste sent me of Joe on Christmas Day at Becky's house.
We are in Palm Desert for only 12 days, starting December 29th, and then on to Emerald Cove in Earp for the first time. Then to Quartzsite for a week. Never have stayed there before either. We are NOT dry camping out in the desert, we have a full hook up space at the 88 Shades RV Park where we can walk out the back of the park and into the river wash right to the big tent..
Was able to get flight tickets for the first leg of our Kona trip with mileage for First Class... WOW, some days are 40,000 miles each and some are 80,000. Leaving on October 31st to get the better deal. Condo owner said we can book the extra day there too. YEAH ! ! Now gotta earn another 1,700 miles before we can book the return trip!! LOL. That will happen by February. Love our mileage credit card ! ! !
Year ended with New Year's Eve at this park... Party ended at 9, east coast midnight ! LOL.. Perfect end to 2018.
