December 2007

After our few days in Indio - which is where our computer crashed by the way - we went to Mesa, AZ where we spent the month of December.

The park where we stayed was almost like it's own little city. It's huge with about 2000 sites - about half of which are taken by permanent or long-term residents. It had a small cafe, two swimming pools, tennis courts, Bocce ball, a billiards room, card rooms, sewing room, silversmith shop, wood shop, just to name a few.

We were able to spend time visiting with Jo's brother, Mark and his family and with Tom's daughter, Shannon and her husband, Pat. We went to church with Mark and the gang on Christmas Eve and spent Christmas at Pat's grandma's house with a few other members of his family.

For New Years Eve we went to an early dinner and out to a movie and were back home before 9:00. Guess that's what happens when you retire, you get boring - or is that sensible?
