Happy New Year!

Yes it is!  The start of another new adventure!?  We have had a very interesting time here so far with all the changes in our 'life'!!  We are finally able to sit down and relax which is about time for Kit as she has done most of the cleaning ( with the help of some of her friends!) but it was a huge job.  The house was unbelievably dirty but it is excellent now.

On Christmas Eve we were invited over to Phil and Betty's for supper, along with Cliff and Suzanne.  We had a very nice time with lots of laughter and jollity that one gets with that group!

Our Christmas was a bit different than usual but enjoyable just the same!  Us, and 14 of our closest friends and allies had a table in the ballroom and everyone supplied a dish to go along with the ham that Cal-am supplied, and we had a very nice time.  The food was plentiful and outstanding - some of the tables were smart and supplied go-boxes after the meal!!  We just took our stuff home and then distributed it to others, because there was a lot left over!

Yesterday Phil and I went out to Sky Harbour (air port) and 'imported' our fifth wheel so that I can get it inspected and registered so that I can sell it!!  No problems, just a lot of driving!!

Last night we had a bit of a New Year's 'get-together, with the usual other two couples and another couple who are friends of Cliff and Suzanne and who just arrived yesterday after driving through the horrendous storm to the north and east of us here.  They were all very impressed with the clean up job that Kit had done.  As usual, everyone brought a 'snack' - wings, dips, fruit, cheeses, shrimp, and pastries - so we had a very nice time.  We were going to play some games but with eight of us, it was not really possible.  The other 'event' that happened yesterday, and list night, was that it rained!!!!  As a matter of fact, it poured - for about 5 hours.  Oh well, that was better than the snow that fell in northern and eastern Arizona.  The temperature only got up to about +8 or 10 and went down to + 4 overnight so that is something that we are not real happy about.  Oh well, the sun is trying to shine today and we are supposed to get 3 or 4 days of sunshine now, so it should warm a bit.  I'm glad that I brought several long sleeved shirts - but it is still shorts weather!!!

Tomorrow we take the truck up to the MVD in Scottsdale to get it inspected to get the registration done and then next week it is the fifth wheel's turn.  I will sure be glad when all this running around is done so that we can get down to 'living and relaxing'!  At least now, we are able to do a bit of relaxing, as the major work is basically done (clean up).
