| Thurs. Dec. 24, 2009 - Happy Christmas Eve. Have a few things to do today. We drove to town, about 6 miles, to the Super WalMart and got some groceries. We went for turkey pastrami and cheese and bread and bought a few extra things that were a good price. Chicken was $1.99 a pound so we bought 2 ½ pounds and pork chops were looking good so we bought 2. Got what we needed and headed home since I have to make something to take to the potluck tonight. On the way into the RV Park we stopped at the office to check our mail. We got the two packages we were waiting for, one from Debbie and one from Steph. Merry Christmas. Daniel called me from Tulare District Hospital parking lot. He was in the car waiting for Mark to come back from visiting Sara. Daniel is too young and they wouldn’t let him in. He called to tell me he had a problem He could hear an ambulance coming and didn’t know what to do. Told him he was fine parked infront of the hospital that the ambulance wouldn’t come there. We talked about Christmas and what he wanted. Told him I knew what he was getting and he was really going to be surprised. He said he had to go to the bathroom. I told him to call his dad, and he told me Marks phone had bad words on it when it rang. I told him to text his dad and he said he couldn’t text on his phone so I told him to call his mom. I was in Pahrump and couldn’ t help him but his mom could. Told him I loved him and would talk to him soon. That child makes me laugh!! Love it that he calls me, even when he has a problem that I can’t do anything about! Came home and made some ambrosia to take to the potluck. It is easy, looks festive and tastes good. At 4:30pm we headed to the club house for our Christmas Eve dinner. The room smelled so good when we walked in. From 4:30pm to 5:00pm was happy hour. Brought some wine to enjoy and just sat and talked to some of the couples here in the park. Dinner was turkey, dressing, ham, scalloped potatoes, sweet potatoes, rolls, ambrosia, spinach salad , green bean casserole, creamed corn. Plenty of food to choose Page 47 from. It was all very good. We enjoyed our dinner and the other two couples at our table. Dessert was pie, cake, brownies, fudge and coffee. Wonderful Christmas Eve. We were going to go caroling but the wind came up and the temperature went down and it was too darn cold. Came home, watched “It’s a Wonderful Life”. Debbie called from her house the kids yelled Merry Christmas and then I talked to Debbie, Stephanie, Rileigh, JT, Daniel, Beau and Kyle. They were having a great night. JT and Daniel like the WII games we gave them. They don’t have a game with a wheel and Ri and Beau liked the WII game we gave them. Beau asked how did I know he put that on his list? I am just grandma that is how!! Glad they enjoyed everything and were able to spend the evening together. I really missed them and all the excitement they create. My girls and grandkids are the best!! Gosh I love them all to infinity and way beyond!!! I finished reading my Danielle Steele book so will start on another book I am waiting to read. I do love to read. Danny and I discussed where we were heading in the next few weeks and where we wanted to stay. Monday I will have to call and make some reservations. After Quartzsite we are headed to Calif. Hopefully it will be warmer there!! Loving this travel even when it is cold and the wind blows. Merry Christmas Eve from Pahrump, Nevada. |
