We sat around and visited a while longer at the rec center and listened to three songbirds belt out a special request for Carl. It was a song that he loved and hadn't heard for a while. They have a karaoke setup and they used the music from that as the background. They did a great job of singing and we all enjoyed it, but Carl liked it even more.
After that we came back to the motorhome and Sharon, Al, Judy and Steve joined us there. We were all too stuffed to have dessert and couldn't even down any more beverages. Al & Sharon had a beer and the rest of us couldn't take another sip. We had a nice visit and finally called it a night.
The kids all called us and I didn't get a chance to talk to them since we had company. Later on we did talk to Cassie & Jack for a while and Cassie was having an asthma attack and couldn't say much, but she did listen. It was great talking to them and hopefully she will feel better soon and we can chat some more.
We called our friends Judy & Herb in Arlington, TX and chatted with them for 45 minutes and caught up on what they have been doing since we last saw them. Judy got bored with retirement and took a part time job, and Herb has been working in the cigar shop lately. Some retirement for them. They do seem to enjoy the work and seeing people so it works for them.
That was our Christmas Day out here in the desert. We would have loved to be with our children and family, but it didn't work out this year. Maybe next year we can make plans on being together once again at Christmas. Henry said no more parties at his house for 5 years, so we will have to look at alternate places to meet.
Merry Christmas to all.
