Wednesday at The WWW Rally

Wednesday morning, we woke up to a beautiful, sunny day. It was cool but we were all out and about. This is our spot. Flags went out this morning, as this is a requirement for the Club.

Some of the ladies went shopping. We went to Silk N Twigs for their after Christmas sale.

When we got back to the park, everyone just sat around and enjoyed each others company.

Nice hair, Ray!!!

We drove today to Montgomery, TX for the New Year's WWW Rally. We started off on a pretty cold morning (34 degrees) but by the time we arrived in the Houston area, it was in the 60's, sunny and just a beautiful day. We are at the Lake Conroe/Houston North KOA - Havens Landing RV Resort. This is a really nice park....

Christmas Day 2011

Went to bed at about 2 am and shot a picture of the living room Christmas tree from upstairs...waiting for Santa to arrive.

By 10 am, Santa has arrived and left his gifts for Larissa and Arianna.

We all played games all day. Started our morning with a wonderful breakfast. Veronica made us omelets any way we wanted them, French toast, bacon and ham. She is a great cook! Thank you, Manuel and Veronica for having us over and catering to us. Love you!

Hope that everyone had as wonderful a Christmas as we have. We are truly blessed with family and friends.

Christmas Eve

On Saturday morning, Manuel and I went to have breakfast at one of our favorite places, El Rodeo de Jalisco. Just as we sat, there was a couple sitting close to us and the lady got up and came to our table and held Manuel's hand and thanked him for his military service to our country. He was wearing one of his Retired Air Force caps. When she left our table, he showed me what she was holding onto his hand....

We were both so touched by her generous gesture. Manuel said, "She has made my Christmas!" Thank God for grateful people like her and her husband.

Christmas 2011

We headed to Manuel and Veronica's house on the afternoon of the 24th. She and the girls have been cooking the traditional Christmas Dinner all day. Corina and her family are also coming over for dinner. I made a lemon meringue and chocolate pies.
