Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone!
We spent the day at the Keesler Fam-Camp in Biloxi MS. Christmas away from family is a bit lonely but that is one of the sacrifices we made when selecting this lifestyle. We are gratefull for the time we do spend with family during the year when we get back east. We did exchange gifts with family members and made phone calls throughout the day to wish everyone holliday greetings.

We did go the the Beauvoir Methodist Church for Christmas Eve Services and then Sandi took me to see a lighted neighborhood that she and her friend May visited the day before.

Christmas dinner was ham (excellent), and our Christmas Cheer was either margaritas or Creme de Menthe Grasshoppers. The gifts we received were most appreciated. I still think we could cut back more which should be easy for family buying for us since room is a limiting factor when you live in an RV.

We have complete seperating our storage stuff into the stuff we still are not ready to part with and the stuff that we feel we no longer need. We will get ride of the un-needed stuf in the next few weeks - either by selling it of taking it to a charity. We'll be glad not to have the big storage bill.

We have either scheduled or finished most of the need-to-do things except for visiting a few of our friends from when we lived here, and will be ready to depart Mississipi for the far west in a few weeks.

We did take a drive down highway 90 from Gulfport to Biloxi and it is quite apparent that the coast is on the way to recovery but it still has a long way to go. Our hearts really go out to everyone down here.
