MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

Christmas in AZ is a bit different than Iowa. For example, here are our neighbors, Keith and Carolyn, getting ready for Christmas. He's been toiling with a shovel, planting a cactus. Notice Carolyn, helping him by relaxing, talking on the phone.

Our next door neighbor, Wayne, waited for his friend Diane to visit, to decorate his park model. Here's an idea for all of you who have cacti in your yards.

Yesterday, we had a golf cart parade, complete with Santa.

Now, I don't want you to think that all we're doing is having fun. Here the men do an act of kindness for a neighbor that went back to Colorado for Christmas with their family. It only took a short time to spread that load of gravel. Just one of those Arizona Christmas works of kindness!

Since we know that you're getting some more of that beautiful "white stuff" again today, we thought we'd send you a picture of what our ground looks like.

Miss all of you-hope you have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
