It's beginning to look like Chrsitmas

We are just coming out of a cold spell! Freezing nights and not too warm days! The sun has been shining the whole time so we really can't complain. We had a wonderful American Thanksgiving dinner. The park cooked turkeys and stuffing and we stuffed ourselves!! We had a left over turkey potluck the next night so it was great not to have to cook for 2 nights.
We had 2 mornings of frost on our car windshield but myself and couple of the other ladies still did water aerobics at 0900 in the morning. As long as we kept our wet bodies under the water.....we were warm

Water aerobics class

The ATV is running great and we have made a few trips into the desert, haven't been out for a few days due to the cold breezes but will be heading out again now that it is warming back up into the 70's

Looking at the Superstition Mountains

Beautiful sunny days with a beautiful view

Two mornings ago we looked out the window to see a air balloon going by. Now that would have been cold considering the temp on the ground was -1 degree. Very pretty to watch though

I decided it was now time to decorate for Christmas. We had been collecting items from garage sales from the last month. We figured we have spent about $20 and I am very pleased with the results. Doug did most of the work with me just telling him what to do (so what's new eh?) I don't have the patience he has. He has a couple more things he still wants to do so I'll post more pictures when he gets them done. It sure is much nicer decorating in warm weather!!

Looks pretty good at night eh?

Did you notice the star above the motor home? Doug took down our windsock and put a star up. I thought that was pretty ingenious. The park has a Christmas parade on December 20 where everyone decorates their ATV and drives around the park. Afterwards there is a wine and cheese social. I guess this means we now have to go to garage sales and thrift shops again to get more decorations. We are also going into Apache Junction Saturday night for their Christmas parade so you'll have to come back to see more pictures. Stay tuned...
