Happy Birthday, Chris!

Chris turned 44 today. Wait a minute! That means it was 44 years ago today that I counted his little fingers and toes, mesmerized by this beautiful creature who had come into our lives.

Today we were awakened by a knock at the door. We had forgotten that we had scheduled today at 8 a.m. for Nick's RV Wash and Wax to work its magic on Venture. They did the same last January, and in between we had given it only a lick and a promise, so it was definitely time. Two experienced guys went to work, and four hours later, Venture was bright and shiny again. So now we're clean inside and out and ready for the new year.

Park residents have been decorating for the holidays. Lots of cheerful colored lights, snowmen, and Santa caps adorn the rigs and sites. On our way in last night, we saw a rather unusual display on the front of a neighboring motorhome. Ken said it was "the traditional Christmas American flag."




Today was extremely windy, as forecast, but sunny and mild otherwise. Ken likes to look at palm trees at Christmas time...
