We awoke to a beautiful sunshine and I watched it rise up as I was up by 6 am. Later in the morning, I took the line converter for the Sirius dock to a local store as it had stopped working, he advise me he could probably fix it so I left it with him. We then drove to Guaymas to TELCEL where I had our kids phone numbers registered as it is faster and cheaper when we phone them. We stopped for lunch then checked out the new by-pass taken trucks and RV’s around Guaymas for free to Empalme. Very nice highway! We had Happy Hour early today and came in when the sun went down around 5 PM. Got propane this morning!
What a wind storm we had last night!!! It blew almost everything down; had to bring the awning in during the night. Even this morning, although the sun is shining and it is 16*C, it is still blowing but not as hard as during the night. Everybody is cleaning and picking up their chairs this morning.
It was windy all day so we stayed inside. The sun is shining but that wind is cold and from the North. There must be a big storm in Arizona!? We did into town, San Carlos, and got some milk and the turkey for Sunday...a 14 pounder!
There has been a couple of guys climbing a quadruple ladder to reach the top of the Palm trees behind us and trimming them. It has been quite a show and an entertainment for everyone at Happy Hour. Check out the pictures on the web, it is quite something. Minimum safety, maximum efficiency!
A quiet but windy day, everyone basically doing their own thing today, getting ready for tomorrow. Val did some knitting and I read.
A 5:30 pm, we went to CHARLY’s ROCK for margarita drinks and dinner. After a beautiful sunset and darkness set, all the boats came out all lit with Christmas lights. They ran in front of the restaurant. Linda, Cathy, Manfred and Bill were in their kayak all lit up with lights. It was really neat to see. After dinner, we continued drinking margaritas which were free and needless to say, not many people walked away sober. Almost all of Totonaka was here too. We got home by 9 pm and it was to bed, after saying goodnight to everyone. Pat and Rick had left earlier than us and when we got home, we each had a small present waiting. How thoughtful!
We were up by 8 am and Val got the turkey prep for cooking. It is sunny and no wind so far. We spent the morning visiting everyone in the park and wishing Merry Christmas to one and all. The oven is in the oven so we sat outside and read and relaxed. It is a beautiful and warm day. Around 11 am, Val called Joanne and her grand-daughter and chatted with them. At 1 pm we called my daughter’s place and found everyone there including my son so we got to chat to one and all. The girls sounded really great and happy and so did my grand-son Graeme.
At 3 pm we set up the tables in the yard then served the food. There were 12 people over for dinner. Everyone enjoyed themselves and filled up on turkey and all the trimming until one couldn’t get another mouthful. It was a success but then, was there any doubt!? After putting everything away, we had a fire but we called it quit by 8 pm. It was a WONDERFUL day!
