Breakfast, House Tour, Lunch

I agreed to take Esther (age 8o something) to the Newcomers December meeting that was a continental breakfast at the country club, house tours to see five decorated homes, then back to the country club for lunch.  There was a sing along, a visit from Santa with a small gift for all and a raffle.  I only took a few photos because I had my phone set up with the addresses and kept forgetting to take it in with me.

Friday our granddaughter and her in-laws arrived for the weekend.  Because we needed to take the RV to the campground to get loaded up, we moved it a day early so we could give them the house since there were five of them plus the baby.

They arrived at 5:15 and we had to leave for a dinner at 5:30.  We warned them of this and they were fine because they were all tired from the long trip from Michigan.  We gave them a few instructions on using things and left for dinner at Irene’s plus an evening of cards.  I was winning until the last hand, and though I got down, it was too little too late!

We spent Saturday with just the kids while the others visited their family.  Then we met at our favorite Mexican restaurant.  I don’t know who was more excited, the staff who were happy to have Mexicans ordering stuff we didn’t even recognize or our guests who were delighted to find real Mexican cuisine.

Ally joined us for church on Sunday and once the van was all loaded up, the others left for the family AirBnB that had been rented and we took our kids to breakfast/lunch then dropped them off to join the others.  We went back home, laundered the linens and took down what few decorations I had up then retreated to the RV in preparation for our Monday morning departure.

We had an uneventful travel day and made the trip to Mission in 7 hours.  We were set up in no time (thank you, Niles, for the parking assist).  We spent time unloading stuff into the coach house and settling the inside.  Our evening was quiet.
