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?

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.

Look to the Sky

After a golf round, sipping from a frosty beer mug (ok, maybe we were gulping) sitting quietly on our patio, we were once again encountered with UFOs.

They appeared over the trees and swooped down upon the resort.

And came right in our direction to interrupt our peaceful beer slurping time.

We spotted four total, but to our relief they didn't land but flew off to terrorize other destinations.

Towards the end of our nightly cruise, the sky put on a spectacular color show. It first started out with just a tint of pink colors.

Then the orange showed up.

 Turing in another direction the pinks dominate.

 We were surrounded by color even reflecting off the water.

This indeed was a spectacular show to end our evening cruise.
