Hi! I’ve never had Christmas dinner outside before. Normally there’s always snow around me back home, cold temperatures, and a warm home. Last winter we spent Christmas in Las Vegas and ate Christmas dinner at the Binion Casino. But today was a pleasant experience. Our wonderful neighbor made us Christmas dinner and, yes, we enjoyed it outside in the perfect weather with great company. I’ve got pictures……

Doesn’t all that food look great! Thank you to our neighbor for all her hard work cooking up a wonderful Christmas dinner!

We also had desert after dinner which was just as delicious, it was hard to decide what to save room for. There was 7 of us together today! Jake enjoyed the day too laying on my lawn chair, he behaved himself. I know you are wondering about gifts, but we didn’t exchange gifts at all. Just to be here on this trip is a gift by itself, I’m sure you would all agree with me about that

I’m stuffed with food and relaxing the rest of the night. I can see Jake is already sleeping, but it’s early and I’ll take him out for one more walk before calling it a night. I hope your day was just as enjoyable as mine.

And one more time before the day is out – Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Merry Christmas!

It’s 11pm here and it’s 1am back home so it’s Christmas Day back home, and soon to be Christmas Day here in Arizona! Let me tell you about my day today and I’ll leave you with a little Christmas treat at the end of this blog entry (pictures and a song)…..

This morning we didn’t do much but sit around outside and shoot the breeze…..I like doing that….just relaxing and enjoying good company. The sun was high and it was a beautiful day out with a slight breeze……exactly how I like December.

OH, I almost forgot…I did some research today and found two local companies in Yuma that fixes Blackberries…..I called one of them up this morning and they told me that they can fix it for free because I have an insurance plan on my Blackberry. They reopen after the holidays and I can wait that long…..I think

This afternoon we stopped by the Paradise Casino. I know we said we wouldn’t be going to any more casinos this week, but it wasn’t my idea, I just get in the car and follow everyone else. I’m innocent! Ha! I lost today at the casino, oh well. I’m use to it….

Tonight I took the electric bicycle out with Jake and snapped some pictures around the park…..I’ll leave you with pictures and a little song.

No, this next picture isn’t our Montana…..It sure is pretty though….

Okay, here’s a Christmas song for you….you can sing this to the tune of “Walking In A Winter Wonderland”……

Palm trees wail, are you listening,
in the pool, water’s glistening,
we are happy tonight
living in a desert wonderland.

Gone away, is the blizzard,
here to stay, is the lizard,
a warm sunny day,
living in a desert wonderland.

In the desert we will have a picnic,
road runners, cactus flowers, and sun,
Christmas dinner is an old tradition,
salsa and tamales by the ton.

Later on we’ll perspire,
as the temperatures rise even higher,
a warm sunny day,
we like it that way,
living in a desert wonderland.

Okay! Now I want to say Merry Christmas To Jake….

Yep, he’s out cold.

My family and I wish everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. A special holiday wish goes out to all the men and women in the armed forces! Thank you for what you do for us and God bless you and your family….

Good night!
