It happens every year, Birthdays, Christmas and then Happy New Year. Just so that we can keep asserting over an over, that no matter what, we keep trying to make “our” future times better. Of course there is also the celebrating of our “Faith”.

We had our Christmas Party. Sandra set it up, there was lots of good eats, presents, and long time friends. A good time was had by all. Thanks Sandra.

From this celebration there was one missing, Cindy, she was off to her condo in La Quinta CA, near Palm Spring. Fortunately, on my way to a warmer place, I had to pass by La Quinta. So decided to RV nearby and visit for a awhile.

Cindy and I went to see the movie Avatar. I consider this movie an event in movie making. It is way out spectacular cinema. Like the first Star Wars, some 33 yrs back. No one makes movies like we do, it is awesome.

On Christmas day, went to Joshua Tree National Park for a hike. In the photos above, you can see Cindy all bundled up like a present. Fortunately, back in La Quinta it was warmer and it was only 35 miles away.  We then went out for a Christmas eve dinner at the only place we could find open. It was a steakhouse, I would say it was as good as my favorite the “Outback Steakhouse”, but way more expensive and fancy. A Merry Christmas It Was !!
