Happy Birthday, Jesus

Well here it is, The Day Before Christmas. We are in Dodge City at Mischelle's house for Christmas.  All the kids are here safely and Bertha is safely ensconced in Victoria, Texas  waiting for out return on Dec. 29 th.   We will have our family Christmas tonight after a hearty supper of Texas chili and brownies ,then attending the candle light Christmas Eve Service at our home church tonight. I am  looking forward to seeing everyone's expressions when they open their presents tonight.  Both Billie and I thank all our friends for a great year of shenigans and fun this year.  We wish everyone a Happy Christmas, New Year and a great 2011. Remember the reason for all the celebration this time of year is the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Whether He was born on the exact day we celebrate as His birthday or not, the reason for our joy and faith in his gift of salvation are not lessened .  My greatest prayer is that all our friends and family would come to salvation by trusting in His Gift  for us.  MERRY CHRISTMAS,  YALL  !!!!!!!!

Winter home in Victoria Tx.

Well we are here.  Dad's RV in Victoria.  Nice place and good food close by.  Went to eat at the greasy spoon just next door last night after setting up.  Billie had livers and gizzards.  I tasted one and they were GRREEEEEEEAT !!!,  I had fried chicken,VG.  Today we will continue with housekeeping both inside and out.  We will leave Tue. for Amarillo and a Dr. appt. Then on to Dodge City for Christmas with the kids.  Looking forward to seeing them. Been gone 3 1/2 months .   Seems like a lifetime and then maybe only two days.  Victoria is a nice old town.  We have visited HEB for food and are finishing settling in today. Have to check on the monthly callendar here at the park. Lots of things to do.  Dogs.  If you own one, take care of it and pick up after it.  We all don't share your joy when you go out to walk.  Take warning !!!! Don' give other dog owners a bad name. We will probably stay here until April sometime. Then to KC for our Grandaughter's highschool graduation. After that, ?  We want to go up around Yellowstone and  also see the badlands, etc. while we can.  Well be safe. 

Iron Horse RV;, San Antonio, Tx.

Well.  We have been at the RV repair shop since Monday eve.  We are having air ride put on the RV on the front suspension.  Will make it safer and ride more comfortable. Our motor on the front slide went out the other day with the slide extended.  Good thing we were still here instead of on the road somewhere.  Well we didnt need all that money anyway.  Kind of like replacing your water heater and A/c at home.  things break.We have been running all over San Antonio with some of out oldest friends from college.  They are full timers also and are here for doctors appts.  We have been to the River Walk, Alamo and even have taken a buggy ride around downtown.  It couldn't have been a more beautiful night.  All the Christmas lights, stores and street entertainers.  Just the best.Parts for the RV are supposed to be here on Tuesday 7 th.  We hope to be in Victoria Tx. and parked for the winter by Thursday or Friday. Then on 15 th.  we leave for Amarillo and Dodge City for Christmas.  Should be back in Victoria by  Jan..1 st. for the Winter, weather permiting. Well better close for tonight as I have used my daily allotment of words for now.  I will have more words tomorrow.  ;) ;)
