2009 Holidays

Well, it's that time again! Thanksgiving and Christmas have come and gone, and here is the report.

We wanted to go on a trip to see my brother James in Reserve, NM via a stop to see friends and relations in Prescott and Pinetop-Lakeside, AZ. The front end decided to go south on Beverly's DeVille, so there went that dream. We had Roast Chicken and dressing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and Pumpkin pie at home in Bakersfield. It was nice, but there was just us two. (Sniff*)

We are trying to get out of debt at the same time, so we are having to pay attorneys to arrange redoing the mortgage and eliminating all the credit accounts except the car and the house. That will be finished around May.

Christmas came and we went to Ojai Christmas eve day to be with Brandy and his family. Krystel is here from NYC and Shannen's home for Xmas from Princeton, so a fine visit and dinner (Duck, 2 Hams, all the trimmings) was had by all. We came back on Xmas day and Kim and her kids arrived Boxing day (26th), as Chris is home from the Army and Kailey came back from CO for the Holidays. She is staying with her Dad in Leadville and going to HS this year. They just left today, so we are cooking pies and watching football today. Except of course, for the time I'm writing this.

Speaking of which, I hear a piece of pie calling me, so I will sign off for now.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
