A Merry Christmas It Was

I hope everyone had a wonderful, joyful Christmas! Ours was quite pleasant. The wind on Christmas Eve prevented us enjoying the outdoors; we scooted our cold bodies into the motorhome for the evening, but Christmas brought overcast skies and no wind, so it was quite bearable being outside.

We enjoyed an evening boat ride before we settled in for a BBQ turkey breast dinner. During our cruise we came across several boats decorated, which I think this one was the best.

The evening also provided us with another beautiful sunset.
The AZ Wildcats were victorious (just squeaking by) over SDSU last evening for a 12-0 record. Can we keep it going this Thursday against Colorado?

Caroling Motorcoach CC Style

The weather's been pleasant (in the afternoons), walks good, golf just so-so (some pretty ugly scores), wine tasty, boat rides relaxing, food great and how about those AZ Wildcats. A good match set for tomorrow night against SDSU.

Last night at the restaurant was Southern night. Of course we had to try the Fried Pickles and Fried Green Tomatoes, both were good, then with the main course of fried catfish, well I think that is enough fried food for me for another year. Tonight will be home cooking and of course Christmas day will be home cooking.

Yesterday while on the golf course we had a special treat of Christmas Caroling done MCC style.


Pictures taken with my iPhone so not great images, but you get the idea. There were 4 boats filled with carolers cruising the channel singing all the traditional carols. It was an unexpected treat even it didn't help the golf game any.

Expected high for today is 70 degrees, so pull out the shorts for an enjoyable afternoon on the golf course.

Back for the Holidays

We arrived in Indio late yesterday afternoon after an uneventful trip from Tucson to spend the Christmas holiday in a place where the weather promises to be enjoyable. The forecast is in the high 60s throughout our stay. It's the lows at night, in the low 40s, that keep it from warming up too much. It will hit its high about 2pm then start dipping back down. Now don't think I am complaining - compared to our dear relatives back in Wisconsin, we are in paradise. I've seen their pictures of snow on FB, no thanks, I'm just not a cold weather person.

We don't have anything new planned for this trip, just our normal walk/bike ride in the mornings (though it might be much later morning to let it warm up a bit), golf in the afternoon, either restaurant or BBQ, then start all over again the next day.

Our perfect day ended yesterday with a beautiful sunset. Got the grill warmed up for a couple of filets and after a couple glasses of wine and dinner, the day ended.
