Happy New Year y'all

Happy New Year to my blogger reader pals. Not going to do much tonight but nurse this horrid head and chest cold that I came down with. Oh, and watch football!!

Some real winter weather in Arizona

wow, it actually snowed in Apache junction Az today, first time I've ever seen it snow on the valley floor since we've been coming down here, got to leave the water running tonight so it doesn't freeze. The picture doesn't have any snow in it but it's what the area looks like near here...

Jousting

Beginning in February they have the Renaissance festival a few miles from here. It's kind of fun entertainment. Every kind of medieval activity that you can perceive. We didn't go last year so we'll probably head out there this year. They have the best roasted turkey legs.... I just grab one and growl, hey, I'm not your Sheriff anymore, I can do that now!!

Lots and lots of cacti

If you like Saguaro cactus there's plenty of them around. Took this pic on one of the hikes north and east of Apache junction Az. Supposed to get some more rain later this week. No plans for new year's eve except watch football!!

Christmas eve traffic in Phoenix

Went with some friends to see Christmas lights in Glendale Az (a suberb of Phoenix). Traffic was relatively light, still lots of folks headed for grandma's!

Had a nice Christmas dinner here at Meridian RV park. The cooks served about 180 people, we had a gift exchange after which was a hoot... Now we prepare for the New Year!!

Merry Christmas y'all

Have a Merry Christmas. I'm on my yearly rant about celebrating Christmas and NOT holidays. There's a reason for the season!!!

Finally some rain

Raining pretty good outside tonight. It will be short lived though, supposed to be 72 on Christmas day. Sooooo many people from our RV park left this week for their homes up north, the frozen north. No thanks, I'll stay here! Lots of Christmas decorations in the area. This is a particularly nice one near Apache Junction. Breakfast with Lary and Sharon Lozier in the morning..
