An End and A Beginning

December 31, 2016

Well, 2016 is almost over, thank goodness.   Hope you all had a wonderful year and holidays and that the new year brings you happiness, health and wealth.

2016 was a tough year for me with breast surgery, chemo and radiation the first of the year and a bad fall in October with a couple of broken nose bones prompting nasal surgery, a deep cut in the bridge of my nose needing stitches, black eyes and a nondisplaced fracture of the C1 needing a 24/7 cervical collar for seven weeks.  Whew!  I‘m glad that is all behind me.    Through all of this Ron has been by my side driving me to doctor appointments, making meals, and being sympathetic to my tears and pain at again being incapacitated.  What a wonderful guy I married.

Our Christmas was quiet but we were not alone.  Our Resort had a Chili dinner on Christmas Eve and a Potluck Dinner on Christmas Day where we made some new acquaintances.  Lots of good food and company with others without their families.

As the New Year approaches, our time here is nearing an end.  We have thoroughly enjoyed our activities with me busy finishing Christmas quilting projects at Mrs. Claus’s (Kathy’s) Quilting Workshop (the quilt room here and in our RV) and Ron golfing and being part of the photography club.  We have not done much sightseeing but rather have enjoyed just being in one place for a while, meeting new people, trying some local restaurants and enjoying the Elks Lodge Wednesday night hamburgers.   Our plan is to return here for three months next year (Jan. - Mar.) and getting more involved in other activities available at this Resort.

We leave here on January 9 headed for the FMCA Western Area Rally in Indio, CA where we will enjoy seeing what the vendors have for sale, attending seminars and nightly entertainment and taking in the local area.  Our friend Ceil will be arriving in her RV on January 8 and will travel with us to the Rally and another week afterwards in the Southern California area.  We have missed our travels together and look forward to spending time with her.  We also hope to catch up with a couple of vendor friends who will be at the Rally. 

Signing Off until the New Year in California.

  1. You and Ron are both lucky people and a great couple. We're looking forward to seeing you both, and Ceil who we met at Farmington, at Indio.
