| Merry Christmas to all our blogger friends! |
I seem to have lost interest in posting to our blog lately... I guess it feels like I dont have anything worthy of a report. But we still enjoy reading your blogs and hearing about where you are and what you're up to... and we really appreciate our readers comments, so don't stop watching!
We are still here at the Sands RV resort in the Palm Springs area. We find things to occupy our time, but we're ready to move on. We paid for a month, so we are here until January 6th. Not sure what we will do on Christmas... or New Years... or our Anniversary. We will be here for all of them. We were in San Antonio, Texas for all of them last year.
We attempted our first hike of the area yesterday. It was such a beautiful day... sunny in the 70s with no wind! But it was still too early for a hike... Jeff's ankle couldnt take the uneven terrain on the trail. We took the araby trail which goes by Bob Hope's house. We went quite a ways up the hill... probably further than Jeff should have, but we made it to a view of his house.
That is a photo that Jeff took at the start of the trail. We attempted alot more pictures, but all we could get from the camera was "system error"!! Uugh!!!
Until this ankle heals, I guess Jeff will have to stick with the work out room.
Once we leave here and are on the move again, Im sure I will get back to blogging... and maybe I can even make it interesting! But until then... we are here! and if you're a blogger, we are probably following you! Be safe and have a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and Jeff!..hope you have a great holiday season!!...sure hope the ankle heals soon so you can get back outside!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's what this time of year is all about. Being Safe, Happy, and with Loved Ones.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year
It's about time.
Love the Christmas picture! Hope you two have a fabulous Christmas...and hope that ankle heals up really quickly.
ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas picture. Hope you heal up soon.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas. That's a great picture of the two of you!
ReplyDeleteLove the Xmas picture!! Merry Christmas to you too! U are in one of my favorite places that i stayed last year, but it was Feb-Mar and seemed like it was warmer than what u are having now..
ReplyDeleteYou make for a very pretty present, Sheryl. Hope Jeff's ankle gets stronger very quickly!
ReplyDeleteWishing you both a Blessed and Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the nice Christmas pictures! Your tree is quite festive. Merry Christmas to you two, and have a very enjoyable New Year. Look forward to following your travels.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and Jeff. Hope his ankle continues to improve so you can get back to your hiking. Nice Christmas picture of you both.
ReplyDeleteI get like that sometimes - just not in the mood to Blog. And next thing I know a week or more has gone by and people are e-mailing me because they are worried.
ReplyDeleteLast year on one or two occasions I booked in a RV Park for a month (much less expensive than paying a weekly rate) and found that after two weeks I was ready to move on. So won't make that mistake this year. Seems two weeks is my max for wanting to stay anywhere. Too many other places to see !
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you.... We don't post much while sitting still either.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year
ReplyDeleteBoy you have a lot of birds. What kind of black birds are they.
How is Jeffs ankle now. At least he is able to do something.
The weather looks wonderful. Go out in the sun and say this if for you Ginny.
Well, I love you two so much.
